Huge Private Collection Sale On The Way?
« on: August 13, 2008, 07:30:21 AM »
Seems as though JM Davis Foundation attorney Steve Peters is saying the State of Oklahoma and others are not fulfilling a contract and are threatening to dissolve the agreement and sell, what is claimed, the largest private gun collection in the world.  The JM Davis Museum may be dissolved and the guns sold to collectors.

There are 20,000 guns in the collection which was turned over to the state in 1967 for preservation.  A state audit showed 125 guns missing a couple of years ago.

The museum link is here:  http://www.thegunmuseum.com/

The news article link is here:  http://www.kjrh.com/content/news/2viewgc/story.aspx?content_id=72f199b5-4515-4608-b2a3-f88061330c9e

I call dibs on the tank and any Class III......

"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."
Theodore Roosevelt

Here's a brainstorming thought (this means I had a brainfart that MIGHT be worth talking about):

Is this a situation where the NRA could step in and run and manage this museum for the State of OK?  It could fit right in with their expertise of running a firearm museum, and save an existing organization.  I would think that if any state would be willing to work with the NRA that OK might be one of them.

Thomas Jefferson: The strongest reason for the people to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against the tyranny of government. That is why our masters in Washington are so anxious to disarm us. They are not afraid of criminals. They are afraid of a populace which cannot be subdued by tyrants."
