Sorry for you loss
I can help minimize some of the fear if you need any help,
Ie, how to make sure itās unloaded safely,
Potentially how to put it into separate pieces to give you some more comfort

But in some states you can legally own binary explosives, 50cal machine guns, Antiaircraft guns, various types of cannons and dont forget flame throwers.

Thank you bothā¦ itās kinda okay, sad, but I knew it would happen some day or the other. Still, great to have a caring community like this one 
Thanks a lot for that, but I couldnāt really keep them legally (nor did I want to), so I handed everything over to the police. Considering several weapons were not-so-legal even for my dad as a huntsman, they were quite surprised at what I had here^^

Donāt get me wrong im in the uk but definitely enjoy shooting every now and then but I think the ease of access to firearms is crazy but at the same merit the uk is way too strict.

Its nice to know those who want firearms have to have not only reason, but be mentally fit and spend a reasonable amount of money to have the privilege.

Yes and no
Anyone not in the states, have a misrepresentation of how easy it isā¦
In some ways it is, other ways it isnāt
Because itās become a political buzz issue, it gets boiled down into snippets when really itās a a far more complicated issue
There a things we could do that would make for a safer community without taking or limiting peoples rights or access
But at the end of the day, thatās not what politicians want, they want the quick media dogood spotlight
Funny, itās the exact opposite for me: I cut myself pretty bad with a knife when I was a kid (enough to nick a tendon in my finger, requiring microsurgery and all) and now Iām deathly afraid of anything that cuts. Itās such a phobia that Iāve thrown away all the steak knives in the house. Not easy to cut steaks with dull knives I tellya
But Iām a gunsmith, and Iām totally fine with guns.

Thatās a shame, I understand the legality issue, but Iāve personally seen some very beautiful and or rare firearms get destroyed because police
That being said, maybe they werenāt anything special (I choose to believe this to make myself not cry at the thought of something really nice being burned)
I would always suggest museums or gunsmiths or other hunters first, but I get it also itās just an easy option

Interesting but of data,
(Again not a cop lol)
There was a study in which people were presented with a āmuggerā type criminal with a knife and one with a gun
The firearm IS a more lethal threat
But when presented with a knife the āvictimsā were FAR less likely to try to call out for help or to resist than vs the firearm, even though they could articulate that the gun was more lethal
Sharp and stabby has some very primitive fear attached to it
Yeah, thatās what I meant - you know them, you know how to handle and work with them, and so thereās no reason for you to be afraid of guns at all. Iām used to getting cut, in a way, so knives donāt scare me 
My problem with the weapon politics in the USā¦ too many bad things happen. Accidents happen with guns, where people get hurt or killed because of carelessness, in a way. Iām really shocked to see people roaming the streets with guns, trying to uphold āorderā and āpeaceā. And some overreactions of the police are also a result of the permanent underlying fear that people they are inspecting might just pull out a gun and attack them. That are things I would be afraid of, and I do not think that this can lead to something good or peaceful.
But I totally know that this is my point of view because I live where I live, and because I was raised the way I was. I might think totally different if I grew up somewhere else.
Nah, was nothing special (I think), I asked a few other hunters, but they were not interested. And I couldnāt sell the illegal ones at all, soā¦
Oh god, I thought you were coma for a second and that is what was turned into the police
