No, let someone buy it now so they are ready for the anniversary.

My mom was on campus when that happened. She said local deer hunters where the only ones with enough firepower (range) to suppress fire

That is crazy that it is up for auction. I don't know how I feel about it.

[Sleeper]

I think its neat that its for sale but im suprised it was ever let out of evidence and back into circulation.

Remeber kids guns dont kill people, people kill people. This rifle is a part of our modern history.

Cool piece of history, but I would be afraid of bad karma or it being cursed because of the evil acts associated with it. I would personally have it destroyed. I read the book about it, and the guy was an absolute monster.
