Oh that will end well. /S

Seriously though. A waste management company that operates dumpsters and waste sorting is not going to be institutionally equipped to handle lots of firearms. I predict that many of the more interesting firearms will go missing.

Any security the company is used to doing is probably aimed at deterring scrap thieves. Internal losses probably aren't really defended against.

A CGN member who took part in the "buyback" stated that the firearms are being shredded on site upon hand in

There were generators and shreading machines revving up behind a tarp

It’s literally just Gary cowering in a corner as Provost is throwing rifles in the air by the crate load into an industrial metal shredder.
