    Australia threw 100,000 Bren guns into blast furnaces.

    It is a horrific crime that these guns cannot come to us.

    I'd bury them, wait until all the bs calms down, dig em up and maybe sell them to ppl in Europe like Switzerland to save them and somehow figure out how to get them over here. If Trump gets in maybe he can removed some of these retarded laws.

    They found a few thousand of them in Libyan government stores when the regime was collapsing there. I wonder if it's the same lot that has traveled to Syria? They look to be in very good condition so it's possible.

    The transfer was probably secretly paid for with our tax dollars.

    About 10 years ago there were a few parts kits available in the US for $450 and I jumped on it. Eventually, I realized that there wasn't likely going to be an economical way to turn it into a shootable gun so I sold it for $650. Now when I see one available somebody is asking something outrageous like $4000.

    Even if you had to turn them into parts kits, there would still be good money to be made if you could get your hands on these.
