Description
This is an appeal by an intervenor from the United States District Court, Eastern District of Tennessee in a civil action in rem to enforce a forfeiture of certain firearms seized by the United States under the authority of 26 U.S.C. § 5872(a), as amended in 1968, and 26 U.S.C. § 7321 (1964). 26 U.S.C. §§ 7323, 7325 (1964). The District Court found that the seized firearms were not registered in the National Firearms Registration and Transfer Record as required by law, 26 U.S.C. § 5841, as amended in 1968, and it further found that the intervenors admitted possession of the seized firearms in June, 1969 was proof of the unlawful act of possessing a firearm which is not registered to the possessor in the National Firearms Registration and Transfer Record. 26 U.S.C. § 5861(d), as amended in 1968. Based on such findings, the District Court held that the intervenor-possessors failure to register the seized weapons during the amnesty period made his continued possession unlawful; and therefore, the firearms seized by the United States are lawfully forfeited to the United States of America.
