Family members set to inherit a stockpile of guns and ammunition, worth millions of dollars, plan to destroy the weapons "to send a message," their attorney Daniel Brookman told ABC News today.
"They want these instruments of death to be destroyed," Brookman said. "They don’t want these weapons out on the street."
Jeffrey A. Lash, of Pacific Palisades, California, died last summer of natural causes, but left behind a stockpile of more than 1,500 guns, 6.5 tons of ammunition and nearly $250,000 in cash, according to local ABC-owned station KABC-TV. All of the purchases were legally made, KABC reported.
The reason Lash amassed such a collection remains a complete mystery.
Lash did not leave behind a will, so his first cousins and closest relatives are set to inherit the stockpile, according to Brookman, although the inheritance is still in litigation.
The family members are taking a firm stand in deciding that they want nothing to do with the weapons, or the millions of dollars they could earn from selling them, Brookman explained.
"They don't want them to contribute to the carnage," he said. "Especially in light of San Bernardino and Orlando, as ordinary citizens they feel like a stand should be taken."
He added: "The relatives are wanting to send a message not just to the nation at large, but also to our elected leaders."
The family's stance comes as Congress has been debating gun control measures over the past week.
On Monday, the Senate rejected four gun safety measures that came to the floor for voting. Today, Democrats organized a "sit-in" on the House floor to protest Republican inaction over gun violence.

Releasing these weapons to the public for sale would have dire consequences.
I imagine the original purchaser simply chose to buy as many guns as possible so the criminals could not attain these weapons.

Lol, at the end of the day, no one's going to give a fuck about your political statement. Enjoy not having that delicious hunk of cash that estate would've brought.

If even one person decides to waive their constitutional right to bear arms then it will have been worth it.

Anyone who destroys anything of value is already wealthy enough to the point it doesn't matter. See Floyd Mayweather burning money.

Beta family but it's their guns so they can do what they want with them.
On a side note these guns are nothing compared to Joon's bucket of guns.

The Bucket o Guns!
This family is a bunch of idiots, but guns are tools, no more. If they want to bulldoze a million dollars into the ground, by all means. For it means that their beta genes are one step closer to not reproducing, I'm in favor.
