What level ?!
Lengthy explanation usually equals bull sh^+

Just my opinion though.
(Read you've gotta be shittin' me)

I don't know what possible explanation could exist but I am smart enough to realize that I don't know the answer to everything and that maybe someone considered things I might not have.

You've gotta be shittin' me pretty well covers it.
A well rehearsed response. And he still claims to support the 2A community
We were steamrolled.

This is exaclty why our government leaders are accountable to the people they work for.  They should explain it so we understand it, not use anti-gun irrational fears to justify wasting our tax dollars.

Agreed. I think they should release a detailed statement explaining their reasoning. My contention was simply that a short on air interview might not be able to offer a proper explanation as to why they chose to destroy the firearms.

Honolulu Gun Destruction Reveals Radical Gun Control Agenda

While Honolulu’s decision is an unfortunate waste of firearms and taxpayer resources, the entire episode is
instructive in that it lays bare the true motives of gun control advocates. When asked for comment on Honolulu’s
plans, Coalition to Stop Gun Violence Spokesman Ladd Everitt stated, “It beats putting those [guns] back on the
streets… There are so many loopholes in federal law that dangerous people often get guns legally in this country.”

Of course, Everitt’s talk of “loopholes” is nonsense.

It is clear then that Everitt and CSGV aren’t simply interested in keeping guns out of “the wrong hands,” as so
many gun control advocates falsely claim, but out of everyone’s hands. For them it’s not about restricting firearm
access, but abolishing it entirely.

For the sake of accuracy, we hope that CSGV goes back to using its former name, National Coalition to Ban Handguns.
