Marvin,

generally there is no problem showing nazi anything at gun, antique shows and so forth. This includes flags, weapons, pictures amd so forth. On weapons, laws and regulations will vary from state to state, from city to city and of course there are the federal regulations. I would not fly a nazi flag from an outside flag pole. But if I had a good collection of nazi era lugers in a spare room in my house then I might have a table with a nazi flag drapped over it with my collection on it. The book "Mein Kampf" is sold in book stores. But it is not really very interesting, its long and Hitler seems to ramble alot. So its not a big seller, if at all. Its boring! Thats probably one good reason why its not carried in many stores more than any other reason.

The Luger is really an imperial WW1 gun than a nazi era gun. The p-38 replaced it in 1938 but the Germans had a lot of Lugers in their warehouses, so they used them. The P-38 is really a better weapon. I collect the Imperial era lugers because I like the strawing on the guns. I think that the lugers of that era were handsome weapons and are historically more interesting. I have become an amateur historian of the 1900 to 1920 era because of the luger. But to each their own.

I also have two dachshunds. Kiaser Wilhelm also had two dachshunds. So I am interested in finding a picture of him, on the throne with his two dachshunds at his feet. I would also like to know the names of his two dachshunds. I think that this would be treated no differently that getting a picture of Hitler with his German Shepard (blondi). To ME, these two political people at of historical significance and not of political significance. I might make up a display of the Kaiser but I would not consider it an alter to worship at. I am of Polish\German descent and I have bought lugers off of Jews. I do not think of the luger as politically symbolic of that era. But some may.

The german military rifle is a good hunting rifle and many people use it for that reason. But modern rifles are lighter and better made. Amunition is also easier to get for modern rifles. But there are collectors of them and they can be bought easily. Most government rules apply to pistols and fully automatic weapons. But if you know what you are doing you can buy them
