Too old tobe relevent, but--
I got out the army in 1970.
My buddy who had ducked the military came by and saud he had a job possibility.
We ended up at the ATF office at the state capitol.
He had been working undercover as a "gun narc" and was headed to agent training.
They thought I was a good choice fpr replacing him.

Not a chance, was my response,

They showed me the evidence room and it was a sight to behold.
Whenever they busted somebody they took every weapon he had and kept them as long as the case was open.
There were whole inventories from shops and dozens of high end collectables-I rcall a FG 42 several G41s and Johnsons.
Lots of MPs and a MG 08 I had once owned.

Supposedly all his got cut up after the case was closed.
I was pretty PO'd at my buddy for thinking I would stoop to such a scummy activity.
I think he did it after being caught and cut himself a deal.
Never regretted my decision.
