"This statement really bothers me."
It bothers me a great deal, too, as it should bother everyone. I suspect this is the true issue at stake here. He had loads of perfectly legal firearms that were completely untraceable to law enforcement and that just burns them up. Adams is one of the most reputable and knowledgeable dealers in the Southwest. He has been doing this for years.
I think I know who this guys is, doesn't he mainly sell totally legal pre 1898 guns?
This bothers me too.
They don’t indicate which weapons were in this condition.
Antiques and “curios” in many cases had NO serial numbering and are NOT subject any kind of registration.
“Curios” include one of a kind and other back yard manufactured knock offs that were routine in the 18th to the late 19th C and NOT illegal.
How many Pennsylvania or Kentucky rifles have an SN? Sometimes older pieces are so holster worn, any ID that might have been there, is long gone.
Yes I know modern tech can plumb the depth of modern metal and find an SN that has been ground off. But if the piece is pre 20th C you are not going to have that high quality metal.
What brings me to this is how the media and LEO mislead and scare the genpop.
Example; I always read the screaming headlines: “HE HAD HANDGRENADES!” And just about everyone on this board knows that they probably were just those fakey paper weights that pimply faced kids buy at gun shows and love to put on their dressers to scare mom. But the headline is pushed and shoved as “really for real!” Knowing full well the genpop has no clue.
The propaganda is thick and VERY DEEP! And lies, all lies, big lies, bold lies, is how the commie pigs intend to push their deranged agenda. You can take that to the bank.
Bottom line, I’ll bet my last dollar that these so called “unmarked’ weapons are nothing more than antiques and curios. The fedgov knows that the MSM is dumber than a box of rox and completely in bed with the tyrant. Why bother to tell them the truth?
I know commie pigs, I know them inside out. They are real, they are deadly.
