NYPD Gloats Over Destroying Guns, Potential Training Dollars

By Beth Baumann

Thousands of guns confiscated by the NYPD are being sent out-of-state to be destroyed. The decision by NYPD Commissioner James O’Neill was announced after NY Attorney General Eric Schneiderman released a comprehensive report detailing the number of illegal guns being brought to the Empire State from along the I-95 corridor.

According to Stephen Davis, the NYPD’s deputy commissioner for public information, destroying the guns is a good thing:

The NYPD works very had in getting these guns off the street and we are going to keep them off the street. And by destroying them there is no chance they will every find their way back out into the street, into the public. They can come up the Iron Pipeline, and they are going to end up as a hunk of iron at the end of this process.

The NYPD’s chain of command has an anti-gun agenda which Commissioner O’Neill put on display when he took to twitter to boast about the number of guns that are being destroyed.
