Machine Gun Auction

Traction Control has entered a bid! Should A FELLOW TEXAN prevail, Traction Control’s proprietor offers a no-fee FFL transfer. (The BATFE tax will still be $200).

I hope we see more of these transfer opportunities in the future so that we can highlight the legal aspects of private machine gun ownership. Contact me through the Commercial Site for more info.

Update 5/4/2007:  The auction is complete! The Lapeer County Sheriff’s Department advises that the winning bid was $18,000.  Alas, that bid was not mine.

From John Lott’s Website:

Cash-Strapped Michigan Sheriff’s Department Auctioning Machine Gun

Given that machine guns are legal and given that there are zero crimes committed with these registered machine guns, this seems like a rational policy to me, but I am sure that this Sheriff’s office will be given all sorts of grief.
“For sale: Collector quality, fully automatic M-16 [by the Lapeer County Sheriff’s Department] in excellent condition. Never fired outside shooting range.”

M-16 Auction

Lapeer County, MI Sheriff’s Department needs some money. So, they’re auctioning off an M-16. Not the fake kind that the pants-shitting anti-gunners are trying to ban. I mean, a real select-fire, machine gun. Sweet. Go bid.
