Iowa DNR expects larger crowds at the annual gun auction as buyers fear tighter future gun laws. The state collected 1 584 guns in 2012 with 600 rifles and shotguns sold to the DNR. 585 guns were destroyed and funds benefit the Fish and Wildlife Trust Fund and the general fund. The sale notes emphasize sports weapons and regulatory buyback plans while lawmakers debate disposal practices and public safety.
