LOUIS COUNTY, Mo. – A warehouse in west St. Louis County is where police departments from across the country send confiscated firearms to be destroyed.Each gun is destroyed within seconds in a 6,000-pound machine called the Pulverizer.“We get everything from an agency saying, ‘Hey, we have one gun that we need to destroy,’ to a client in Michigan—Michigan State Police—which requires thousands of guns to be destroyed a month,” Scott Reed, president of GunBusters, said.Police departments meticulously track each seized gun, like a list we found filed with the courts by Hazelwood Police. It lists the type of weapon and the reason for the seizure. It may be a criminal case or a mental health crisis.“A lot of the crime we see, there’s mental health aspects involved in that,” Lt. Blake Carrigan, St. Ann Police Department, said.Carrigan says his department employs a mental health coordinator for that reason.
