MIAMI — A man and his 11-year-old grandson found a little more than they were looking for during a weekend fishing trip. The pair pulled two .50-caliber Barrett sniper rifles out of a canal near Miami.
Duane Smith told the Miami Herald he saw a YouTube video on magnet fishing and decided to give it a try on Sunday. They dropped a 5-pound magnet in the C-102 canal in southern Miami-Dade County.

“It’s the .88 Magnum. It shoots through schools.”
One... There is no evidence yet that these were “stolen”.
Two. They were not transported or shipped anywhere.
They are found goods and have not left Florida.
If the rightful owner comes forward to file a claim... then the story changes.
This is no different than finding a $100 bill on the ground.
Yeah, I’m aware of your nannyisms.

___________________________________________________________________ I’ve been pro-gun since I realized it was a right protected in our 2nd amendment, since I was a child.
I was gonna start building a gun collection in the 1980s. But then I saw this movie scene when Red Dawn came out. A chilled hush ran through the theatre.

I thought about that movie for 3 days. I decided I would never be on anyone’s list of gun owners.
I was vindicated in this decision when a Newspaper sparked outrage for publishing names, addresses of gun permit holders

And my decision was once again vindicated in the town I live in — San Jose, CA passed law requiring gun owners to get liability insurance

I may be in violation of a federal criminal statute, but who isn’t these days?
The DoJ and FBI can go and asexually reproduce.

“Who said the rifles were involved in “interstate or foreign commerce”? Even the authorities admitted they’ll have difficulty assessing the origins of these firearms.”
Tennessee to Florida is interstate.
How many magnetic fish are there? Is mercury magnetic?
Why is it against the law?
“Two. They were not transported or shipped anywhere.”
They magically appeared?
Please see Post #65 - Barrett is a Tennessee company...
The act of stamping the numbers into metal changes the metal structure underneath stampings.
The serial numbers will be chemically recovered to find the origin and transferre to dealer and any buyer.
And state:
Florida Statutes 790.27 – Alteration or removal of firearm serial number or possession, sale, or delivery of firearm with serial number altered or removed prohibited; penalties
Amazon sells a good magnet/ rope combo. I like mine.
“This is no different than finding a $100 bill on the ground.”
LOL!
Florida Statutes 790.27 – Alteration or removal of firearm serial number or possession, sale, or delivery of firearm with serial number altered or removed prohibited; penalties
These guys didn't remove the serial numbers... So this does not apply.
Not very pro-2A are you...
I know...
However, these two are idiots for opening their mouths to begin with. The way prosecutors are these days, they be lucky if some democrat appointee doesn’t charge them with “constructive intent” or some other bs...
“These guys didn’t remove the serial numbers... So this does not apply.”
ROTFLMAO! Have your mother explain it to you.
I know.
And?
These two did not purchase them from Barrett. They found them in a Florida river. Absent someone else to come forward with a lost/stolen claim... they are found goods.
If the serial #’s are filed off, the ATF has them already.
Insults now... after showing support for idiotic and unConstitutional gun control laws.
Are you sure you know what you are doing?
“they are found goods.”
Possession of same is a violation of federal and state laws.
