I certainly care, and have always tried to be sensitive to the viewpoints of others regarding this. I have enjoyed, or depending upon your viewpoint, been afflicted with, an interest in WWII history since childhood. In the 1950's feelings often ran high since most then remembered WWII from personal experience. Now, not so much! A recent survey of high school students asked the question: "In what war did the U.S. fight against Adolf Hitler and Nazi Germany?". Something like only 38% answered the question correctly.
To me, collecting and studying the history and accompanying artifacts of WWII help to keep alive, the memories of the greatest and most titanic struggle of good vs. evil in the history of mankind.
If you are uncomfortable with this area of collecting, that is your right. Preserving our rights is one of the reasons why your grandfather and others went to war. If you do feel this way, sell the rifle to another serious collector - take the money and buy something you are comfortable with. JMHO!
