[QUOTE="ProBusiness, post: 1290847, member: 6145"] I went to a Tulsa police auction in the late 70's where they sold guns, along with a lot of other stuff. I was only interested in shotguns at the time. I was in OK Police Supply and they had a bunch of guns they purchased from a small town police dept in OKlahoma. A few quality guns, a lot of cheap guns and a lot of guns that were beat up. The long guns were in pretty bad shape with rust, abuse, and alterations. Given that a FFL would buy the lot and a background check would be necessary for an individulal to buy from him, it still would leave the door open for a individual to buy a gun(s) at a cheap price and sell for a nice profit on the street. This is the danger I see. I saw a special that said sellers would head back east and make arrangements to be on a given corner in NJ at 3:00, open their trunk, and sell guns to anyone for a big mark up. I would not like Tulsa to put a bunch of $50 - $250 guns on the market, junk guns, that the punks would buy for only one reason - armed assualty and armed robbery. At the same time, I hate destroying quality guns, I would like a chance to pay a fair price for quality guns and put them to good use plus Tulsa could use the money. I really hate to see quality shotguns without alterations that probalby were stolen be melted down. These long guns aren't the first choice of the punks and I would like a chance to buy them.
