The problem, of course, is that the gun's nature as a machine gun transforms it--from a fascinating and proud piece of history, to a blighted, morally corrupt piece of contraband, subjecting the possessor to a quarter million dollar fine and ten years in the federal slammer.

That story ended well, with the gun going to a museum, but at one time, it seemed as if this magnificent piece of history would be destroyed, as directed by the ATF. [More]
