Listen "Buying Guns on the Blue Market | Shane Claiborne"
Episode Synopsis
"It’s easier to get a gun in America than it is to get rid of a gun.
Even gun buybacks and incentivized gun surrender events can be problematic, because law enforcement agencies have a record of putting the guns right back on the market. Just as it is unthinkable for police to sell back heroin from a drug bust, we have to insist that law enforcement agencies stop selling weapons. It is a violation of their pledge to serve and protect. We’ve all heard of the black market, but it has become clear that there is an entire underground “blue market” of cops selling guns.
In a bombshell report, a recent study revealed that more than 52,000 guns used in crimes over a sixteen-year period can be tracked back to police. At least 145 law enforcement agencies have sold firearms, which have later been used in thousands of shootings all over the country." - Shane Claiborne, Buying Guns on the Blue Market
