What if you found a class III firearm?

[Zedicus]

what this does is allow the named party to go to the ATF and say, I want to register this as a amnesty weapon, and the law of the USA says I can.

I very Seriously Doubt that it would work, need any reason for my saying this, Look no Further than the recent BATFE Reclassifications, They are Essentialy Creating Custom Laws on the Fly Just to go after Gun owners.

there's zero chance of this ever happening to me

since during WWII my family was just trying very hard to stay out of camps. no, not in europe.

oh sure, a couple of the family went to europe - but they were busy trying to figure out what was going on without understanding english. i doubt they had much time to sneak home any toys.

but - knowing what has happened in the past in the old US of A -

i'd try to make sure some decendant of mine gets to have the same dilemma.

Keep it

Buy a pelican case and the corresponding ammo

Bury the gun and ammo in the backyard

Wait for the revolution

Be the baddest mothaf**** on the block and start my own country.

You're damn right keep it. I'd do the same thing, except bury it. I don't think I could do that. I'd stash it somewhere indoors and keep it for when you start your own country. I hope I find a B.A.R.!

If I found a machine gun I would keep it and keep my mouth shut.
I wouldnt care about risk of getting caught It wouldnt happen I would make sure of it.I ignore alot of the risks and restrictive gun laws I do whatever I want.

What he said...

And to some others here.. Jeez, Darlene, grow a pair. As long as you grab your ankles every time the political class commands, the more they will command.

The gun banners don't give a rats about the historic, cultural or heirloom value or such things. They are ciltural vandals of the highest order.

I'm an Australian, I've lived through TWO buybacks, I've heard of already deactivated German MP18 SMG's being taken from museums, and crushed. I've seen Artillery Lugers go the same way (one was mine!)

Gun confiscation programs cannot work without registration.

Cannot tell others what to do, and twenty years ago my answer would've been completely different, but my Government has already, repeatadly shown it's distruct and contempt for me, it'd be a case of "What machinegun?"

The only thing I will say in a semi-public place which may be monitored by Federal law enforcement is:

"I would turn it and myself in to the authorities immediately, Friend Citizen. That would be the law-abiding thing to do."

 

[solareclipse]

i would keep it and enjoy it.. finders keepers...

 

[Macpherson]

First, if I found a functional Thompson (any variety) and stick mags and ammo in the wallboard, I'd be needing a clean pair of drawers . I would very definitely get the camera and take some pictures, and handle things very carefully from there on...and that's all I'm saying on the matter.

I do think it's despicable that priceless historical heirlooms and mementos are being destroyed simply because a bunch of bureaucrats somewhere decided during lunch yesterday that these weapons are evil and must be destroyed, along with anyone who was in contact with them, or knew of their existence. We don't have a totalitarian government (yet!), but some branches of it are more totalitarian than others :banghead:

 

[evan price]

I say, "What gun?"






(OT:Supposedly there is this guy known as "Johnny Glockenseed" that leaves Fat-50 cans with interesting contents buried at waypoints on his GPS all over the place...)

 

[Third_Rail]

Geocaching firearms does happen, yes.

 

[Geronimo45]

I'd assume it was a non-firing replica, clean throroughly, and put away until there is an urgent need for same.
