That is a real possibility in areas with strong support for gun rights. Either way, it doesn't get Benchmade off the hook. They chose to be complicit in something that they knew and later admitted was wrong.
In many other US states, seized firearms are auctioned off to legal buyers, which is the way it should be.

The Makita comparison is a false equivalence. Makita did not volunteer to destroy firearms or provide tools for that purpose.
Their tools were bought by the government, likely through a third party distributor, and used by people in ways that were beyond Makita's control.
That is in no way comparable to the company advocating or willingly engaging in the destruction of firearms.
I'm not going to support companies that destroy serviceable firearms, and if you support gun ownership I'm sure you won't either.

and you have just PROVEN BEYOND ALL DOUBT that you dont fact check......

I deliberately put makita angle grinder up to see if you would.........the NZ firearms were crushed n bent,not cut up...but if yo uwish to get your frilly knickers in a bunch,dont let me stop you.
the article if you took time to read it clearly states the part of country where the guns were cut up does not allow for onsale of them.

and if you look back to the NZ gun grab...I suggested it would have been good thing if the ones taken back here were used for military purposes as it would give our army better firearms and the rest put into storage for emergencies...and I got slammed for saying so,so the idea they could be sent to Ukraine being flouted now is rather ironic....
