I have always felt that the military should use the guns that they seized from terrorists and gangsters. Does any one else feel the same?

I've always heard that they are sitting in an evidence lockup never to be used again.

    Many or most of those guns are not fit to be used the first time. I have seen a gun made of paper.

    They would only be of any use to the military, if of types already standard issue anyway. Also,  - this is the case in the UK and probably the same in the USA - military supplies are subject to strict supplier-guarantee controls that mean all items are traceable individually to manufacturer, batch and date.
