Luger Deactivation???

Hi,

In many European countries, strict gun laws mean that one can only keep certain guns that are rendered useless in quite crude manners. Over here in the Netherlands, a side arm like the Luger may only be owned by someone without a gun permit if it has been split in half... Certain rifles may be owned if they are completely welded shut, the barrel has been perforated at 3 positions and a metal rod is welded into the mouth of the gun. Other European countries allow people to own 'decoration weapons' if the firing mechanism is completely destroyed.
