#2 StG-44s aren't rare. They found tons of them in the Middle East and Africa. With ammo headstamped 1944 and 45.

#3 Another "Asset Forfeiture" by the all powerful State: The Chesapeake Police Department confiscated the StG44 in April of 2009 after finding one in a van involved in several hit-and-runs...?
Why not --- Send it for Auction and give the money to the victims of those hit-and-runs?

#4 ...it bad optics for one calling for a police state confiscation of weapons and then turn around and sell them on the market.

#5 "NFA-compliant models"

Pardon my ignorance but what does it take to get it "NFA-compliant"?

#6 Basically the banned guns list, unless you register the firearm and ~~bribe~~ pay the government money. Last time I checked, the amount for a machine gun was $3000.

So either the StG44 was made a non-"assault rifle", by modifying it to fire only semi-auto and removed the bayonet lug or Mr. Hit and Run payed $3000 to the Feds.

Which firearms are regulated under the NFA?
P.S. Silencers are not banned. Again, you gotta ~~bribe~~ pay the government.
