Sen. Tester moves to protect combat veterans' trophy firearms

**Gunco** · 06-22-2011, 10:40 AM

Senator Jon Tester, Chairman of the Congressional Sportsmen's Caucus, is urging federal officials to allow American combat veterans to legally register firearms they acquired on the field of battle. American veterans who acquired certain types of weapons during combat under rules of military conflict guns known as "trophy" firearms are often unable to legally register the weapons, which means those veterans could be charged with illegal possession of firearms.

made more laws.He was a island hopping Marine.

I never could see why there is opposition to these amnesty laws. If the idea that MGs and such should be registered so the .gov knows where they are and can keep them "out of the hands of criminals" is a good one, which the NFA laws would seem to indicate is their mindset, then why oppose getting more registered and "on the books"? All those Tommy Guns and other bringbacks sitting in someone's attic are not in the NFA registry, so they have no control over them at all. And that's a better situation from their standpoint? Then why register any of them?
