Wait, Florida confiscates guns?

The handing out of guns makes sense, but taking away? Unheard of!

Glad they're going to good use, but man do buybacks sting when you see cool shit being turned over to pigs.

I mean, they get old military hardware plus also millions of dollars in taxpayer funds to buy whatever they want.

They take away from arrestees. Not just guns, but a butt load of personal property actually. It’s an income stream for most PDs.

Usually from people of color.
