And what happened to these weapons will make you cry. They were destroyed. I met a retired army officer at a gun show who was displaying a gorgeously made--engraved, carved--early European hunting rifle, truly a work of art in both its superficial and mechanical aspect. He related as how he was walking by a pile of confiscated personal guns, spotted it in the pile, and told the Sergeant in charge that he didn't think the rifle needed to stay in the pile. The Sergeant didn't agree with him, but complied because, well, he -did- out-rank him. He retrieved the rifle, and then watched them as they proceeded to run a tank back and forth over the pile.
