Benchmade benched, at least temporarily

You realize those were firearms used in crimes that couldn’t be put back into circulation and not “ confiscated firearms” right ?

Yes, I was explicit when I said 'confiscated'. IDK, maybe it's because I've lived in Indiana for more than 50 years but when firearms kept for evidence, etc., are no longer needed by police departments, these firearms are NOT destroyed, they're sold at auction to FFL's and the paperwork indicates they're "free and clear", so to speak. Quite a few of these firearms weren't cheapos, either. Some had serious value. Naturally, the criminals that stole these didn't care, but Indiana is very pro-2A. Anyone that buys one of these understands that keeping their documents handy is just good ownership.

So These were guns used in crimes. No matter what Benchmade said or did they were gonna be destroyed. So what’s your beef with them helping out local law enforcement?
That’s by definition NOT gun confiscation.

I was out to lunch when two deputies i know stopped at my table to say hi. We ended up eating together and this subject came up. They said that from what they hear more and more jurisdictions are destroying firearms after they no longer have evidenciary value because of the numbers being used in a crime again. Neither mentioned who makes this type of decision but it's likely a politician. They also said that they understood in some states it was even required by law, but they never mentioned where and we moved on to other things.

One of these is usually with me when out in the woods or hunting.

You won't buy a firearm from the police in Illinois. They get destroyed. I did have a stolen pistol returned to me after it went to the FBI lab South of me. I promptly traded it in on something else as soon as I got it back too.
