A New Kind of Gun Exchange

The guns are toys, often look-alike AK-47s or 44-magnums, traded in for other toys at St. Stephen's Academy...It was also a chance for the Save-A-Child organization to photograph and fingerprint children.

The antis have been using "common sense gun laws," but I guess that's just not snappy enough. Now the buzzword du jour is "rational," with the clear implication that if you disagree, why, you must be irrational...

Rare Tommy gun sells for $80,500

The gun was originally appraised at $25,000, but sold for more than three times that amount. The top bid -- $80,500.

I hope he has--but if there are wealthy rkba supporters out there, how come they keep such a low profile?
