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.

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?
