WRONG! Not to start a gun thread, but the Street Sweeper Shotgun, which was
LEGALLY sold in the U.S. was forced to stop production when The Prez with the
slicked willy was in office. Then you could transfer ownership of the existing
item to another through wills, in case you die. Now, even that type of transfer
is illegal.
