The bill was championed by Republicans in the GOP-controlled Legislature who argued that municipalities were skirting a 2010 law that was tightened last year and requires police to sell seized weapons to federally licensed dealers. They argued that destroying property turned over to the government is a waste of taxpayer resources.
Democrats who argued against the bill said it usurps local control and goes against the wishes of people who turn over their unwanted weapons to keep them out of the hands of children or thieves.

Nice going, Jan! Destroying those guns did nothing but keep the economy down. Reselling them will generate public monies and reduce taxes. Thank you!
Smart move. Wish Maryland had a governor like Jan!!
What a pile of crud. Another example of the needless waste generated by the constant back and forth of the elephants and donkeys.
Maybe Brewer should realize that one of the leading sources of guns for criminals are weapons stolen from law abiding citizens' homes. Those citizens willing to sell back unwanted weapons should be able to do so and keep them off the street.
Maybe the dems who push GC so hard should realize that criminals don't care about laws.
