(Personally I would not want one used in a murder but someone else might not mind. Most would be 'not used or fired'.)
Granted, most would not be of good quality but there are some gems.

You should read the entire bill. It specifically FORBIDS the sale of confiscated firearms. Plus, "confiscated firearms" are neccessarily illegal or siezed in criminal actions. Some are fireasrms ILLEGALLY SEIZED by the police as Philly cops have a tendency to do even when the arms carrier has an LTCF issued from another jurisdiction.
See the thread in the Pennsylvania legal section New Legislation - Destruction of Confiscated Guns
