NYC Sold 28,000 Pounds Of NYPD Fired Shell Casings To Georgia Ammunition Store

Updated "The process for auctions of City property do not allow for restrictions on who can bid and the sale has to be made to the highest bidder. That said, the Mayor’s focus is on keeping guns and ammo out of the hands of criminals and dangerous people, not preventing law-abiding citizens from making legal purchases. No one in the country has been more aggressive or bold in going after bad actors in the gun industry who skirt the law or look the other way to allow weapons to seep into the illegal market and onto our streets.
Further, when the Police Department’s shooting ranges reach a capacity of empty shell casings, the shells are put up for bid as scrap metal. The City’s auction process dictates sales must be made to the highest bidder as I noted and the sales, including the most recent sale in July, have been awarded in most cases to scrap metal or recycling companies. In a recent auction in June, an ammunition company from Georgia made the highest bid and the city had to comply with the procedure applied to all auctions and complete the sale to that company. We do not have a contract with the Georgia company referenced.
If they HAVE to take the highest bid, how can they deny a bid from a reloading company?
Krispos, if this doesn't pass muster let me know and I will move it.

New stuff for duty use.
to reloaders? As I read the article, it seems they did make the sale to the GA company, and would again if the bid was the highest.
(That said, the statement from the mayor's office smells like monumental bullshit...)
Here's an article from this year:

Given that the restrictive policy was formulated in 2012, it sounds like that statement from the Bloomberg Administration was pure dishonesty and deception...
