Gestapo = SS = Probably fake?

If you are concerned that a weapon "may have been used" too "execute innocent people" then you need too rule out all military weapons from you collection, and a few sporting weapons. Too paraphrase an old saying (my words not yours) "only the loosing side committed atrocities", then Stalin was correct too tell his troops entering Berlin that "only the unborn are innocent"?. Military weapons are made for one purpose, while I enjoy my collection, P08s,p38s, K98ks, M1, M1a, M1 carb. they where all made too kill and on one can certify that only pure military targets were shot at, no civilians where either by mistake or other wise injured with any weapon I or anyone else owns (mil surplus). These are weapons of history, and it is pure history that drives most collectors, not the want too hold a gun that was maybe was used against the innocent. If you have a problem with the GESTAPO, great, but too brow beat someone who wants too collect history, well at the least shouldn't you also rule out every Germany WW2 weapon just too be sure you got them all?.
