SGT York's Machine Gun
How can we let this happen to our history?
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1822782/posts
Excerpt.....
John Welsh, a library trustee, said a bureaucratic tangle soon emerged and hasn’t been resolved. “It’s a machine gun and it’s not registered, so apparently we can’t sell it until we find a legal way to own it,” he said. “We’ve had estimates that it could be worth up to $200,000, presuming we can show its relationship to Sgt. York.”
Both Welsh and deStefano said at least two agents from the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) have listened to the story but offered no recommendations, other than to suggest the machine gun be destroyed.
"Negotiations with the ATF have put deStefano in a funk. He described a four-way conference call during which an obviously young ATF agent admitted not knowing the story of Sgt. York or much about WWI. “That’s the person the ATF has making the decision about this machine gun."
how in the heck can we allow red tape to destroy our history?

what makes this really bad is the fed has never even heard of SGT York.
somebody is failing here, either our parents (well not mine) our teachers or somebody somewhere has failed to educate our youth on what we should appreciate and how we should LOGICALLY solve our problems. Gun control is not a logical solution to gun violence.
whatever, i'm just rambling
