A full auto weapon missing the serial? He knew better but didn't care.

70 or not, do the crime, do the time.
Too much of a big picture we aren't seeing, IMO. Collectors are nut jobs and haven't much regard for the law when it comes to their collections. They are usually otherwise benign, as this guy seems to be.
I just want to know why that ONE, single weapon was so damned important all the time. money and manpower was taken to find it.
