America's gun culture is entirely out of control.  And Tennessee seems to be ground zero.

Turns out, according to the AP, "the two guns used in high-profile shootings this year at the Pentagon and a Las Vegas courthouse both came from... the police and court system of Memphis."

Apparently, while "many cities and states destroy guns gathered in criminal probes,... others sell or trade the weapons in order to get other guns or buy equipment such as bulletproof vests."

"In fact," the article goes on, "on the day of the Pentagon shooting, the Tennessee governor signed legislation revising state law on confiscated guns. Before, law enforcement agencies in the state had the option of destroying a gun. Under the new version, agencies can only destroy a gun if it's inoperable or unsafe."

Um, does killing someone with it make it unsafe?

Hey!  Whatever!  Hakuna matata, right?  The circle of ... uh ... death?
