More law enforcement agencies stop reselling guns to prevent use in crimes
86% Informative
More than a dozen law enforcement agencies have stopped reselling their used guns.
An investigation by The Trace , CBS News , and Reveal found 52,000 former police guns had resurfaced in crimes.
The ATF warned agencies against reselling guns because of the frequency with which former police weapons are used in violent crimes.
Several agencies cited budgetary concerns as their reason for continuing to resell guns.
Brooks argued destroying used police guns wouldn't prevent violence because firearms are already widely available.
"We know that people are killed with these guns. That should be enough," Brooks said.
"The state has a responsibility to be conservative in these situations," says one sociologist.
