Give the rest to schools and then let them sell it in fundraisers so that they can actually afford to teach children properly.
Bam, two birds in one stone.
[QUOTE=Sir_takeslot;44683283]For those who are asking, they did auction some of this stuff off. There was a thread on /k/ about it.
Someone bought a big trash can worth of .45 brass.
I can't remember the website name, but they had the auctions posted. They where selling all sorts of surplus from vehicles to ammo and surplus office supplies. But it's all in person, and they don't deliver anything.[/QUOTE]

But they only auction off brass casings, not live ammunition.
[QUOTE=DanRatherman;44683228]Good. They should recycle what metal and chemicals they can for productive purposes.[/QUOTE]
Do you even know what a bullet is made of? Literally nothing can be recycled from it, because it's core components have absolutely no uses BUT to be shot at people.
Selling it would be the best option ideally.
Problem is anti-gun legislation/activists will have a fucking aneurysm then the NRA will jump in and you got a political shit storm on your hands and then you won't be able to do either one.
Drop it in a marked storage area and leave a bunch of /k/ commandos in there to just sort it all out at a steady rate, instead of getting rid of it. Bam! Creates a bunch of jobs. Bam! Military gets a load off it's shoulders. Bam! Slowly but steadily, surplus ammo reaches market, while unusable is marked and stockpiled.
[QUOTE=Drsalvador;44685255]And think about that. That's a total horror moment when it hits you: The U.S. Government has so much ordnance it cannot differentiate between useable and unusable kinds.[/QUOTE]
Except that one time.

Great, so there is a massive stockpile of ammunition that can't be recycled, and we don't even know if half of it is still safe to use. I can see why they would want to just destroy the entire thing. Out of sight, out of mind.
the US military (let alone the US federal government) is like a teenage girl at a mall with her mom and dads credit card
Maybe it's just me, but I think this is a bad time to be doing this, and every time I hear the government is "destroying weapons" it just makes me think they sold them to someone under the table.
