Me want. Me broke. Me sad.
I’ve wanted one of those since I was a kid. I’m off to buy a lottery ticket.
Why the (*$%% does the buyer need a FFL? Needs a tax stamp, and possibly a sign-off by thje chief law enforcement officer. The FFL that will handle the transfer from the City of Kinston into someone’s hot, sweaty, ever loving hands needs to have an endorsement to transfer full auto firearms.
I love it when someone either screws up on what the law is or adds some extra requirement just to make sure it never changes hands.
And most likely when it does not sell at auction they will scrap it.
stay safe.
