Some would say they're breaking the law.


Yep, its my impression that if you buy a storage unit at auction and there are firearms in it, you have to turn them over to the ATF. On the finale they supposedly find a 10-gauge shotgun.

Would you be kind enough to cite chapter and verse of the relevant laws?

Neither the ATF website, nor this article about the legalities of self-storage lien sales make any reference to such a rule
http://www.selfstoragelegal.com/articles/misc/finding_guns.asp


It does state that some states (not named) require one check with the police to see if the gun in question has been used in a crime (which strikes me as common sense) but checking a serial number/maybe a ballistic finger print is far different from every gun being arbitrarily "turned over" to the ATF.

I was under this impression because Barry Weiss a storage locker buyer was under this impression as well, I do not know where he got this information but I thank you for taking the time out of your schedule to research this issue because it obviously means a great deal to you.

So you're just under the impression they're breaking the law. You should change your thread title lest people get the impression you're an idiot.
