No.
I only avoid what I am not interested in. The man did the deed. Gun was just the tool. |

When you think about it, there are Enfields and Garands that shot down wonderful people who were practically saints. That's how it is with War.

I always thought it was important to understand, preserve and exhibit items that can be linked to such events. I always believed in the adage: "if we forget history, we are doomed to repeat it."

No. Some of my Yugo SKS's might have been used in war crimes in the Balkans. Possibly true with my Mosin-Nagants when the Red Army moved into Germany. Same with my K98. I don't believe in karma, ghosts, spirits, etc. so no sleep lost.

I know that a couple of my AK parts kits saw real use.
I bought an early 56 chinese SKS that had a foot bone in it... I know that rifle saw use. The only thing I don't buy is german stuff. I'm just not interested in it, and I'm careful to avoid it because of the Whiskey Papa angle of it. |

Nope. I own a 1938 manufacture K98 and several Mosins that were manufactured during WWII. No worries about bad juju.

This. Arisaka 99, Gew 98, Mosin Nagant, Nagant revolver, Steyr M95, M24 yugo Mauser, the list goes on. I have a lot of guns of types carried by soldiers who were involved in terrible actions against civilians, soldiers, and prisoners. Plus not every US soldier was a saint. Across my collection somewhere there is a decent chance one of my guns has a bad history. This does not bother me, as FMjunkie said, we need to remember history and learn from it. |

Plain old ROCKS killed fuckers for thousands of years.
But I don't think about rocks as thinking objects capable of being good or evil. Nor firearms. Nor that goatpounder with the tracktor trailer. |

Attributing evil to an inanimate object because it was (or even might have been) used during the commission of an evil act is a quintessential liberal response.
It's a classic illustration of the power of indoctrination. |

I think I should clarify. I am not saying guns that were used to commit evil acts are evil as an object I'm saying would you own it knowing it's history? If it was say a Nazi prison guard rifle etc etc knowing the history ?

That said the ZA marked guns especially with the Zimbabwean not rhodesian camo? Just because of my families history I wouldn't own one. |

I look at them as potential investments, but I wouldn't seek out something linked to something bad.
I don't glorify the bad stuff, but I also understand it has to be preserved as history. I chose to sell off my few Nazi articles, including an armband, because I didn't want it in the house. At the same time, I wanted to make sure it went to a collector to be safe. I do like "trophies." The "my grandpappy kicked your grandpappy's ass" is still a strong sentiment. That's why stuff taken from them is a trophy. I have a Jap battle flag framed, not to glorify the Japs, but because it looks fairly artistic and still has the original owners blood on it. |

I have a friend in nz who has an amazing ww2 collection. With a lot of German stuff. Nothing bad about it at all . Being second gen polish I'd feel weird about having say SS camo in my collection but that is personal taste. |

I had a landlord up in the mountains decades ago. He was one spooky dude. I went into his place once to pay the rent, the interior was decorated in Nazi memorabilia from floor to ceiling, real stuff--flags, portraits, SS daggers, and an extensive collection of German WWII firearms, you name it, he had it. The portraits were spooky, evil looking dudes, like something from Night Gallery. Creeped me the fuck out. He also had a halftrack painted in Nazi Desert Korps colors and insignia. Rumor had it he had a pillbox up at the top of his property. though I never saw it. He pointed a K98 at me a couple of times after dark, he thought he "heard something".
