The city of Tucson has sold more than 500 guns, including 13 semi-automatic-style rifles, since late last year after losing a court case with the state over how to dispose of firearms that were seized by or turned in to police.
Forced by a state Supreme Court decision, the city since October has used a third-party business to auction off 566 firearms โ handguns and rifles โ that have been labeled as surplus property. Most were seized in criminal cases, although some were surrendered by their owners to be destroyed โ which had been the city policy for over a decade before ending last year.
