Heard it on WRIF this morning, Lapeer county sheriff to auction off an M16 purchased in the 70's for hostage standoffs never been used in a hostage situation only fired at the range. Hoping to get $17,000 Linky |

It made the front page of FoxNews.com today Cash-Strapped Michigan Sheriff's Department Auctioning Machine Gun Gotta love the idiots they quote in the article.... "The fact that a law enforcement agency is selling a dangerous weapon is appalling," said Shikha Hamilton, president of the Michigan chapter of the Million Mom March, a gun control group. They sold their fully auto AR's a couple mths back as well. |

I love reading some of the crap the anti-gunners write. Case 1 This will surely end up in the hands of some crack drug dealer, as someone else will buy it for them. Ahem....lets see, extensive background check, money costs , CLEO signoff ect.... Yep , hey crack dealer, I ll ruin my life, my families life, my family reputation for lets say...... $500, or better yet give me $1000 and I ll do all the leg work for you so you can get a legal mg. What a load. Just goes to show, if you stick you head in the mud deep enough , your brain must fall out due to the suction when you decide to join the rest of the living world and pull your head out. I bet one of the early release life criminals Granhole is going to let out will buy it. He is probably bidding on it right now from his jail cell...... |
| I was just reading USA Today and flipped through the state by state news... figured I'd take a look at what company is moving out of Michigan today. The Michigan one read like an ad for the auction, but it said might fetch $1700, not $17,000... I wouldn't have thought a law enforcement agency would bother having a transferable MG, when they could just get a post-sample one, right? |
