“because the antiques do not meet the federal government’s definition of a firearm.” Guns that do not fire fixed ammunition, such as muzzle loaders, and guns made before 1898, are not regulated by the federal government.
The feds are used to confiscating everything and nobody tells them that they can not, they do not have the jurisdiction. Someone stood up to them in this case, so that is a good thing.

...guns made before 1898, are not regulated by the federal government.Actually, I think it's guns made in 1898 or earlier - before 1899, in other words - that meet the federal definition of "antiques."
