Greenberg pledged on the campaign trail to alter seized guns before they are auctioned. He said Louisville's government spends "thousands of dollars and untold personnel hours" on gun seizures, and turning them over for auction "doesn't make public safety sense."

The Louisville mayor announced his plan Thursday to remove the firing pin from guns seized by police before handing them over the officers.
Greenberg was shot at by a man who entered his campaign officer in February 2022. No one was hurt, but a city council candidate, Quintez Brown, was arrested and charged with attempted murder.
Along with removing the firing pin, the plan includes placing a sticker on the guns that says the firearm may have been used in a homicide, "including taking the life of an innocent child," according to a news release.
