There are guys who collect this stuff so it does get sold. One of the

freeway heading in that general direction last week ;) The guy is
amazing. He has a SCUD launcher, among other pretty amazing machines.

appropriately deactivated? I think the rule for stuff like that is
that the barrel has to be cut, and/or the receiver disabled.
