I hate the fact that all these historic guns get cut up. Machine guns ARE legal in the US, pending our fine governments approval and oversight. It erks me that they decided that no more could be brought in. I think the general condition is a slow tightening noose around the necks of gun ownership and free men being able to do what free men ought to be able to do.

Even though the semi autos, in a small way, save a reconstituted Bren gun, it is sad they have to be messed with in the first place. Same with our M-14s.

I think we could offer them as "incentives" for 8 years of service. You give Uncle Sam 8 years minimum of your life, and Uncle Sam will reward you with one historic rifle/machine gun of your choosing.

I know some created this very program, but without Ole' Uncle Sam's knowledge or approval. He he.
