There’s a gun buyback happening in my town and everyone on social media is arguing about the practice. I’ve tried looking into what happens after the local PD obtains the guns, they claim they are melted down and they sell the scrap metal. I have a hard time believing that, does anyone have any declass info or other evidence that shows that’s not actually what they do? Thanks in advance!

I see a lot of comments stating what they do but what i’d really like to see is proof or evidence backing those claims. Who handles the melting process? Where do they melt them? What’s the transfer chain look like if or when they leave the hands of the local PD? I presume ATF is involved in some capacity, what’s their role?
