Scoupe,I understand. It was just a thought. Trying to salvage something from the tragedy that was concetration camps.
such as lets say a rifle you know belonged to a guard in a Nazi concentration camp.
The same holds true with places I live, I could never live in a house or apartment if a suicide or murder took place there.
Are you afraid they're haunted? Or what precisely?
What if you pick up an old milsurp weapon...how are you going to know what it was used for? What if you have one that was used for an atrocity but you don't know it? Do you just avoid all surplus weapons?
Did I say you wrote that? No.Did I write that? No. Am I telling you what to do? No.
So...you like milsurp, but won't own any German or Japanese etc. weapons due to the possibility that they were used in an atrocity? Or you avoid only the ones you are able to determine were used in such a way?
The assasination of Archduke Ferdinand started WWI not WWII. Just sayin'.
How about a Japanese officer's sword? Those were used in combat but beheading pows and chinese(among others) civilians was their primary fuction.
The only time wouldn't want a gun is if I knew it was used in a suicide. I have a real issue with suicide and wouldn't want a gun associated with such an event. The same holds true with places I live, I could never live in a house or apartment if a suicide or murder took place there.
I sure wouldn't make a special trip to have a picnic under that tree.would you want to have a picnic under that tree?
I'm trying to imagine what that benign and peaceful role would be, but I won't deny that it is a possiblity. It certainly wasn't fulfilling that role in my gun safe however, and I'm probably not going to open a holocaust museum/memorial anytime soon.
But that's just me. I'm not saying that's the way anybody else should be. But then I also try to avoid beliefs and ideas if I can't explain them fully without getting upset and defensive.
