A few years back I got a call from Athens Police Department. They had an SKS that I had bought, with paper work, at a gun show about 10 years ago. It had sat in my collection a few years then I gave it to my brother in law and he turned around and sold it to someone who had it stolen. They had it because a murder case had just wrapped up and this rifle had been used in a drive by shooting. They said since I was the last owner of record that I could have it back. I asked them to destroy it and they said they would. If I had taken it back I would have taken the saws all to it and made it in to junk pieces. I have no heartburn with a gun that does its job to gather food or punch holes in targets, but when one is used to take the life of an innocent then I no longer want it around.
