Given only two choices, I'd rather it be melted down and forgotten than for Babs Boxer or Di Feinstein (or some elected criminal in Chicago) to hold it up as a prop in support of their next gun-grabbing ban.
He hasn't taken over the office yet and he's making these kind of statements. It's gonna be a long tenure.
And i dont fully understand why this weapon isnt transferable. Shouldnt it be treated like any other pre-NFA machingun? (i have no idea how these are treated though, but their must be a policy in place).
He is worse than that. He is a "real" idiot!Not maybe, the sheriff is just an idiot.
He will not gain a penny by preserving that gun. In fact due to other intrusive government regulations he faces a hassle if he tries to sell it to make money for his department.
If the sherriff is that concerned about glorifing Dillinger, how about issuing the Thompson to officers to use as a duty weapon? The Thompson could then assist the officers and help them enforce the law, "restoring its honor."
