Turning Rifle Stocks Into Scrap Metal
posted (October 19, 2012)
This morning, the destruction of guns continued at the Eastern Divisions police station.

Yesterday they started on a mission to destroy over 700 weapons that had been confiscated or become unserviceable. The hydraulic shears crushed all day - but it wasn't enough and the effort continued today with copious documentation of every gun destroyed - to meet UN standards of reporting.

At the end mountains of scrap metal were left behind - cut small enough so that they cannot be used to outfit home0-made weapons. The United Nations Dept. of Peace, Disarmament and Development oversaw the process.
