36. And do what with them? Can't shoot them, can't tell people about them...

Can't let ANYONE know about them. Can't sell or transfer them if you needed to.

Would it really be worth taking the chance that SOME/ANY ONE wouldn't rat you out? A slip of the tonque by your kid? A nosey neighbor? BATF and a past 4473? Even an eventual previously-justified use of 1 wouldn't fly.

I don't get it - I just can't see the risk of becoming a felon, going to jail etc. and losing everything is worth holding on to an AR or other illegal object. Besides there being so many other viable choices.
