I don't see the fascination with full auto, but a lot of collectors have seen significant increase in the value of their full auto firearms due to the finite supply in the U.S. Many have them as investments. Yes, the entry price today is very high.
My $12K investment has turned into $20K in a relatively short period. I've shot it. My 13 y.o. daughter has shot it. It's a quick way to burn money firing it but is sure is fun!
Perhaps a deal can be struck, as a gesture of good will, gun owners will give up ALL clips (high cap or not) in exchange for a complete moratorium on further gun control legislation.

The problem is we don't trust the government to keep their word.
Just because someone can figure out how to make something doesn't mean the legal system is going to give it a pass, or there won't be other serious consequences the person who does this faces, especially if what they do ends up hurting or killing someone and it is traced back to them.
Just as someone could currently manufacture homemade explosives, methamphetamine (which could easily blow something up), or other destructive substances. They will be held accountable.
Ironic that gun control led to this... The more you try to stop something the more it grows...
You'd think the democrats would have learned from the failed bans from the republicans (trying to ban drugs and stomp out homosexuality failed miserably for them).
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
It doesn't mention guns either. It says the right to keep and bear ARMS shall not be INFRINGED. Since it doesn't list what kind of arms, then ammunition, a critical component of firearms is protected. It also clearly uses the words, shall not be infringed, which means trying to stop the right to keep and bear arms by rendering them unusable.
Sadly for gun haters, the second amendment is amazingly clear and a tremendous obstacle to their tyrannical pursuit of disarming the citizens of the United States of America. As you can see from the definition of infringe, it includes limiting or undermining, not just banning. The constitution is clear in that the authors wanted citizens to control their own fate. Thus they allowed for them to be armed and able to stand against threats from government or criminal. The only people who ever claim the second amendment isn't crystal clear, are the ones who despise it and want it removed.
I also perceive that the "regulated militia is necessary to secure a free state" means our local and state police that are supposed to protect the citizens of the state they are representing against other states and the federal government, and the people are free to own any kind of weapon to protect themselves against a tyrannical police force or federal army.
If it were de-milled (made 100% inoperable) then it is just metal according to the BATFE. If it is functional, it is an unregistered full-auto and the people are in violation of the National Firearms Act of 1934. https://www.forgottenweapons.com/i-f...t-should-i-do/
More reason to think it was de-milled. Or everyone at the estate sale was ignorant of the law.
Outside of full auto, any guns bought at an estate sale fall under the state's face to face sale laws.
Oh no, it was fully intact, it was just kept in pieces in the box, (MP40s were pretty simple firearms, not many pieces to them), My grandfather would have NEVER allowed it to be de-milled.
I have to believe the auction people just didnt look at it close enough and assumed it was just parts to a regular rifle or something, No one ever assembled it, it sold still in pieces in the box.
Ive thought about trying to find the guy who bought it and see if he would sell it to me, (considering it was my grandfathers), but Im not sure if the auction people would give out his information to me, ( I doubt they would).
There are many guns on private classifieds in my state right now, many people also trade stuff with and for guns, no paperwork or background checks are done, its all cash and carry, that is how people in my state like to do it.
