Take it to the local shop and have the breach welded. Now rendered inert, it is perfactly legal to own.

Not so fast. That would be considered a DEWAT gun, which had to be done prior to 1968. And even then they still had to be registered. That is NOT the same as a "parts kit" where the receiver is actually torch cut into separate pieces. No new DEWAT guns can be made or transferred. There are consequences to stupid laws. According to 1983 feel good legislation that gun falls into a catch 22. It never was registered, and cannot now be registered. Only previously registered existing machine guns (prior to 1983), or newly manufactured class III guns can be transferred. Thanks a lot feds.

The article said the gun didn't work. On further inspection, the Sheriff might find that this is because it was already welded, presumably prior to 1968. Ahem.

All (+1934) should be unconstitutional.
