Israeli attacks leave at least 20 dead in Gaza
By Rodrigo Santos Andrade
An Arizona state senator is proposing to amend a 2013 law that currently bars law enforcement agencies from destroying guns used in felonies and requires those firearms to be sold to licensed dealers.
Sen. John Kavanagh said he initially sponsored the 2013 measure but now regrets the provision that can leave murder weapons in circulation.
“I was concerned that the gun used to kill her husband, murdered in the line of duty by a criminal, was going to be resold,” Kavanagh said. “It brings everything back, and it’s also very insensitive to take a weapon that was used to kill somebody and sell it. In a case where a weapon kills somebody, I have no problem ending it to give finality to the victim and to not create the appearance that we are profiting from murder.”
The discussion began with Julie Erfle’s case. Her husband, Phoenix Police Officer Nick Erfle, was shot and killed during a traffic stop in 2007.
