So it's okay that he was knowingly breaking the law?
I'm not even debating firearms laws here, just asking a general question on how you feel about someone breaking the law.
In general? Depends on the law, right? Depends on the context. There's nothing special about 'the law' that makes it inherently moral or immoral to follow or break it.
Specifically, I don't know what his intent was. But, absent any evidence of ill intent (he just liked collecting guns), yeah it's probably OK that he was knowingly breaking the law. Seems like it was doing no harm to anybody.
Morality and legality are different things, and they should be. I don't want some people's view of what's immoral to dictate what's legal. And I don't think a thing being illegal makes it immoral. Do you think all illegal things are immoral?
