[QUOTE="flatwins, post: 2028603, member: 5655"] I feel that an artifact is just that: an artifact. It's an object of a period in history but doesn't necessarily glorify that point in history. I think mostly it's intrigue. A person might have a few Nazi artifacts and have them as reminders of just how evil society can be. Different but related- I really enjoy true forensic documentaries and cold-case shows. Those shows often display actions of very deranged and evil individuals but also the methodic skills of the forensic scientists who solve these crimes. By watching these shows I not glorifying the criminals but rather the good guys who bring them to justice. Now that's a stretch from a discussion of surplus rifles, I admit. But just because a person is interested in an idea, concept, tool used for evil, etc., doesn't imply they condone it. I wouldn't mind having an authentic K98 complete with all the Nazi garb on it. It could sit right next to my M1s as a display of the triumph of good over evil. [/QUOTE]
