Tucson's now-defunct policy of destroying confiscated guns is costing the city $100,000. After a lengthy court battle, the Arizona Supreme Court ruled that Tucson's practice of destroying confiscated guns went against state law that required those guns to be sold off.
The money is part of a settlement and will cover the state's legal fees from the court battle. The city ended the policy this month after the state threatened to withhold nearly 60-million dollars in annual state-shared revenue.
