Old Firearms Destroyed in Texas

Firearms stored in the Nueces County Police Department were destroyed last week, reports The Nueces County Record. This is sad news for us, because while the police may have only seen these items as “evidence,” we see it is a much more. According to the story:

 ”If they are no longer needed for a case, protocol dictates the weapons must be destroyed…”

But what is upsetting is that the 70 or so firearms destroyed, many were storage for years. While many might have been common or damaged, we have no idea how many valuable firearms – monetary as well as historically – maybe now lost forever.
