Saint Louis, MO (June 2017) - In May 2017, GunBusters® Firearms Pulverizer pulverized the 10,000 firearm, three years after the company's inception. Firearm 10,000 was received from Sheriff Vernon Betts, City of St. Louis Sheriff's Office, who witnessed the destruction. "These are guns used in a crime and recovered by the police department," said City of St. Louis Sheriff Vernon Betts. "When no longer needed as evidence, the St. Louis Circuit Attorney and Circuit Court orders them destroyed. We turn them over to GunBusters who pulverizes them and provides us with video documentation of each one being destroyed."
