Can a full auto be gifted down to you from a relative when they pass away?

destroyal by cutting it in half is the legal best approach

As possession of a machine gun, for however short a time or by whatever circumstances, is a crime -- is destroying the receiver destroying evidence of a crime?

The ATF does not list "cut it up and throw it away" in their instructions of what to do with one you find or inherit.

good point....this is a really awkward situation. my understanding was destruction of a receiver wasn't specified in any exact manner, but just that it cannot be rebuilt and proof be provided.

The NFA really needs to go, this kind of confusion to exercise a right is insane...

x-rap, i definately agree with you

The penalties are not worth it to me. So you bury it, and one of your kids gets it later, then they become felons, for something you believed in that they might not care about, or have the $$$ to keep themselves out of prison. Was it still worth it?
