Talk about ignoring the expert advice from museum curators and making things even worse! So a museum can keep it's collection now (how generous) but it must be butchered and they can't add to it! They were told that in some cases deactivation would remove the cultural value and would be a hugely expensive impractical exercise!Bodies concerned with the cultural and
historical aspects of weapons and
recognised as such by the Member State in
whose territory they are established and
holding in their possession firearms
classified in category A acquired before
the date of entry into force of this
Directive should be able to keep those
firearms in their possession subject to
authorisation by the Member State
concerned and provided that those
firearms have been deactivated.

placed on the market have been marked
and registered in compliance with this
Directive.

Considering the vast range of functionality when it comes to guns how do they propose to do this especially when Police departments largely lack any kind of technical knowledge:
It makes my blood boil! What is the point of having the IMCO committee appoint a rapporteur go out and consult interested parties and put forward amendments if the LIBE committee are going to decide to ignore all that and have another go!1. Member States shall ensure that all the
essential components of any firearm
placed on the market have been marked
and registered in compliance with this
Directive.
