Caveat-Not defending anything the GOP said here, okay?

Chiming in because we went through this in L.A. 20 years ago. Just policy, not legislation then though.

As was pointed out elsewhere, there will be historic/museum collectible guns from time to time.

As long as the guns are sold only through a dealer, there is no registration loophole to deal with. B/g checks and all. Can be a good little revenue stream for the Police department. There will be good L.E. approved model guns, and young cops will gladly take a good deal to buy their own firearms.

By and large anyone who buys one of these would just buy another gun, maybe a new one. Not much of a net gain really.

Maybe given a revenue stream, more gun buys can happen taking more guns from people that do not want them around, and keeping those people from selling off book. Without the b/g check.

Guns are not hard to destroy. So anyone that wants the surety of it’s destruction can see to it with a simple hacksaw or big mallet. An ordinary welding torch will make short work of any gun. Or the PD can have a checkbox on the tag on the gun-Destroy/Not For Resale.
