I was doing a google search for some AR related things and happened to come across a web site for "Deactivated Gun Collectors". The thing that's even worse is they are worried about losing the right to continue collecting these deactivated guns...
Quoted from their web site...
"Do you like guns?
Then this is the website for you! Unfortunately the restrictive legislation in many countries makes owning guns difficult, hence the market for deactivated guns. Our association represents owners of these guns. We do not represent people who collect replicas and various other junk that is on the market today. Rather, we are an association of people who have a serious interest in firearms, but have to have their collections neutered to comply with the law."
