I do not have an issue with this and it makes more sense than what the moron Biden administration was doing. I find it astonishing that the murder rate and gun violence rate dropped and all the liberals can’t tell you why. Well taking 36,000 guns out of the hands of those that intend to do harm and commit a large volume of crime is the likely reason for the drop in violence. It’s Trump and his doing so they will never admit it.

Federal agents seize 4,359 Mexico-bound guns under Trump administration | Fox News

ATF seized over 36,000 illegal firearms since President Donald Trump took office, including 4,359 guns bound for Mexico that authorities said would have been used by gangs.

Sort of like the "buy backs" where seized and donated money is used to buy mostly unk that nobody outside the hobbyist or cheap skate wants to buy anyways.
We've how many Gun manufacturers here in the US? How many Importers, Distributors, wholesalers, Dealers all making money off new gun? All those guns confiscated by the Government will be replaced with new and better stuff, sure there's probably some collectables in the mix, but the loss of those just increases the value and scarcity of ones in private hands...I wouldn't be a but surprised to find in a year or two ATF via auction sells off those not destroyed for being illegal or returned to owners (reported stolen)...ever see what TSA does with the thousands of knives they confiscate at Airports?

My only disappointment with guns headed for Mexico being confiscated is that there no chance for the Mexican People to arm themselves against the Cartels that are going to use them on their own citizens.

I always think back to what Sheriff Joe Clark said about Minneapolis back in 2016ish.
He said if he could "remove" just 30 certain individuals in Minneapolis, murder would drop by 90+%.
He said even though there are hundreds of gang members, its a very small amount of them committing murder. And the cops know who these guys are. Those 30 guys commit almost all the murders in Minneapolis.
Sheriffs from around the country agreed with him. Many said if they did the same, by removing 30 select individuals, murder would almost dissappear. Ironically, MOST of these guys have extensive arrest records, many have served time for aggravated assault with a firearm, or murder and released. Keeping ALL murders in prison for life would make a huge dent in the murder rates.

When I was with the sheriff's department, I saw the same 30-50, all of the time.
