This Guns & Gadgets episode discusses the alarming case of Elizaveta Zlatkis, a New York City woman facing 25 years in federal prison for possessing 22 firearms, 21 of which were non-functional replicas (airsoft, toy, starter pistols). Even a real firearm stripped of all internal parts was deemed a 'firearm' by the ATF due to its finished receiver. The case highlights the broad interpretation of firearm definitions and the potential for severe penalties, even with replica or non-functional items.
