The gun was originally appraised at $25,000, but sold for more than three times that amount. The top bid -- $80,500.Perhaps I'm just jaded. I mean, how many sheriffs' departments do we find willing to auction off any gun, let alone a machine gun? And I admittedly know nothing about the purchaser.
But with rich benefactors like George Soros and Andrew McKelvey bankrolling the antis, I can't help but wonder if the guy who's got 80+ Grand for a collector's item has donated anywhere near that amount to defending the Second Amendment.
I hope he has--but if there are wealthy rkba supporters out there, how come they keep such a low profile?

Hi Dave,
You asked a question at the end of your post that I'll take a stab at. You asked, "...if there are wealthy rkba supporters out there, how come they keep such a low profile?"
It's because they know that anti-gun laws won't really apply to them. They'll always get a pass because they help make the laws. If nothing else, they'll create a "special collector's license" that will allow them to keep and shoot guns even after a ban. A little pessimistic maybe, but there you are.
