    While definitely a serious issue…

    The picture of one of their bedrooms is fucking hilarious. You can’t get any more on point for assumptions than the juxtaposition of Nazi flags on one wall, and the kind of wallpaper you put up in a nursery on the other wall.

      If you look closely, there appears to be a “Bren” type LMG on the floor and something that kinda resembles a “sten” smg propped up against the dresser. I suppose these are replicas or they’d been the in the headline.

        Yeah. There’s a Webley and an Ak laying around too.

        But the FC9 (3d printed 9mm AR “pistol”) was hidden away in a loft even tho it wasn’t in a firable state. So there’s very little chance they left operable machine guns just laying around

        They’re not airsoft, and I doubt they’re replicas. Most likely decommissioned collectibles

        Usually they get the firing pins removed and then the action welded shut thru the frame, or a cut made in the same location. Sometimes the barrel gets plugged too.

        But at one point they were actual guns.
