In
a move reminiscent of 11th Century superstition, normally pro-gun Reps.
N. Leo Daughtry (R-Johnston) and Ted Davis, Jr. (R-New Hanover) have,
perhaps unwittingly, signed on with rabidly anti-gun Rep. Darren Jackson
(D-Wake) with a bill entitled: "Destroy Firearm/Crime of Assault or
Murder" (H241), which would push to destroy guns "used to assault a law
enforcement officer."
Blaming
guns has always been a ploy of the anti-gun establishment, and this
bill is no exception. The proposed bill guts current legislation that
limits the destruction of firearms by law enforcement to only those
lacking legible serial numbers or are unsafe due to wear, damage, age,
or modifications.
Apparently
Reps Daughtry, Davis and Jackson believe in "deodands": The ancient
superstition that an object believed to have "caused" a person's death
should be destroyed because it is a "guilty object."

The government truly believes in deodands. Look at how much money they have found "guilty" of crimes and incarcerated in government accounts without a trial for the money or its owner.
