Wow.

Now I'm wondering if I made the right choice when I traded in my Bugatti Type 57S Atlantic under Obama's "Cash For Clunkers" program.

Hitler refused to produce it, so it produced itself.
Enemy soldiers consider themselves honored to be shot by it.
Police officers refuse to destroy it, purely out of respect.

It is the most interesting firearm in the world.

macdaddy357: Usually, guns that were used in crimes and rusty, non firing garbage are what it turned in at these things.

Yes a central Illinois gun club and local NRA branch did this at a Chicago buy back. Used the money from the donated POS guns to buy new guns and to fund a youth gun safety retreat. Was on fark, but I heard about it locally first.

tallen702: Look again bubba: Link

There's no national registry for everyday run-of-the-mill firearms (aka Non-NFA firearms) However, for weapons that fall under the national firearms act of 1968 (and the subsequent modifications/additions/etc.) such as machine guns, yes, there is one and it is called "The National Firearm Registration and Transfer Record"

I'm only calling you out on it because you called the other guy bubba:

The NFA (National Firearms Act) was enacted in 1934 and restricted the sale of fully automatic weapons through taxation and a registry. The 1968 Firearm Owners Protection Act prohibited the registration of any new fully automatic firearms for civilian use, a de facto ban on the manufacture or sale of new fully automatic weapons to the general public.

If you're going to be anal about it, you better be right.

tallen702: iheartscotch: An stg-44; wow wow wow wow wow; it's the holy grail of axis weapons.

I beg to differ. I'd say the FG42 is the holy grail of axis weapons....

What the holy grail of axis weapons might look like:



/Chose poorly

Snarcoleptic_Hoosier: "The French fight for glory, the English fight for land, and the Americans fight for souvenirs."

I like hearing the stories about how this stuff gets from the battlefield to someone's collection

Well sh*t, son; we's already GOT land and glory... I wanna git me one of them prissy officers' swords to cut my steak with!

The gun, developed in 1944, holds a 30-round magazine and can shoot 500 rounds per minute. Cavanna said every modern assault rifle produced today is based on this design.

A German can swap magazines 17 times a minute without slowing? Wow, I guess they really are the superior race.

I beg to differ. I'd say the FG42 is the holy grail of axis weapons....

"You could kill a solider back then, and if the captain of your fighting unit signed off on it, you could send that gun home to your family or kid brother or cousin," Cavanna said. "Anything you wanted. Her father, who was a World War II army man, had brought this gun home from the European theater."

I miss this America.

BarkingUnicorn: So she can only sell it to a museum?

...where I can only presume that it will be worked on by top men.

NFA: She can't legally possess that gun. Unless it's registered with that ATF in her name, it's illegal for her to possess it. The cops were right to say that it's a treasure and shouldn't be destroyed but it's an illegal gun. The penalty is 10 years in federal prison. Even if the gun was registered in her husband's for father's name, she can't possess it without having having it transfered to her name. Meanwhile it has to be in the possession of a class 3 dealer until the transfer occurs.

If the gun was never registered, it can't ever be registered.

Not sure if Im being trolled here. There is no ATF registry.
