Who Guards the Guards U.K. Edition: Cop Sells Handed in Guns

Ever wonder if those guns that were part of buybacks were really destroyed? On the one hand we feel a sense of loss just thinking that some potentially rare and valuable firearms (valid parts of history in our opinion) might end up being destroyed. But what a more disturbing outcome – namely those very guns (which probably weren’t on the street) ending up in criminal’s hands? The Daily Telegraph offered this bit of news:

“Two policemen have admitted their involvement in the selling of guns handed in to police by the public to be destroyed.”

So should we worry that many of those gun buybacks could be supplying illegal guns? It can’t happen here, right?
