i say the hell with them,,DO NOT turn ANY in under any circumstances,,,that way they will see they can't threaten us and we fall over backwards and they get their way,,like the others have said THEY CAN'T HAVE WHAT THEY CANT FIND,,,remember to strip it to the bare reciever,,,the rest of it is LEGAL,,,some on here will try and scare you with a bunch of legal threats,,,ONLY you know if you have the balls to stand up for your rights,,,,,and if you are somehow forced to turn it in,,make sure it's a BARE RECIEVER,,,,that way they dont get your nice toys to add to their private collections..cutting it in a few piece would be a nice touch,,and 100% LEGAL,,,you are allowed to destroy your own weapon,,,a simple form to fill out,,i pretty sure there is going to be a few traggic boating accidents,,,,sorry officer,,,it fell to the bottom of the lake,,
