US Justice Dept Rules that Trench Art is Ammunition

Who asked the question in the first place, and why?

 

I had a bullet belt a few years ago that I never bothered to list. I just foresaw endless problems with trying to ship it anywhere.

 

OMG! The horror! The danger!

 

Ha!!! The German army has infiltrated my storage unit!!!

 

'Destruction by cutting' is on the list of destruction methods and pretty well all trench art involves some cutting, therefore the items are destroyed as ammunition.

 

That's fine, if the clownfarts, who wrote the rules, know what the words used actually mean.

 

What this means to dealers and collectors is that before sending trench art anywhere they need to get familiar with the many rules applicable to sale, transfer, transportation of ammunition.

It means nothing of the sort. Asking an official for an official reply will get the most cautious reply possible. In practice, not one will care and it is also both arguable and pretty obvious that the items are effectivly destroyed as 'ammunition'

Any proceeding would be dismissed long before it reached court, and I am pretty sure spring knows this but is just posting the letter as a wind up.

 

My mother had a lot of trench art because she was an Army vet and liked the stuff. I sold lot of it and kept only a few pieces. Glad I didn't know about it then.

 

Oh! Thank you for her service!!!!

 

My parents met at Keesler Field in Biloxi. Then she had to get out because she got pregnant and he was stationed at Ft. Leavenworth where I was born. I never heard the end of 'ruining' her career. She loved the Army. Women couldn't stay in if they were expecting. Not like today. At one point, all three women in my husband's Navy office were expecting.

And I shall say uh oh as well.

 

You must belong to an elite few who can make the claim of being born at Fort Leavenworth.

 

True...but depends upon which facility....
No?
