the ones used in crimes that the cops don't need for evidence. You can always contact them, but unless this artist is a Florida resident, the artist will have to fax a copy of an FFL to the one you plan to send them from. The dealer might charge you for the work and paperwork. The artist will definitely pay up to forty bucks per gun.

Or you can always do what one of Katie Couric's staffers did and admit to violating the Gun Control Act on TV.

The easiest thing is to load them in the car and pitch them in the ocean.
BTW, do you know how to unload and clear them?
