stockpiling weapons could be seen as weird.

taking a gun that might solve a crime if turned into the police and making $20 is really kinda awful if you think about it for a second or two.

you make an interesting point though, what you seem to think is so fun is only illegal in two states.

maybe it will be in ALL of them soon.

that sounds REALLY sketchy- you can't just bring the cops a box full of guns, so you get your slimy friends to bring them in one at a time?

i'd think that WOULD be illegal- maybe there's some kinda cop reading this thread who might get an idea to poke around the classifieds and see what's going on.

thanks for the heads up!

i mentioned that before to someone- the cops should start buying up every cheap gun in the classifieds + online and melting them down.
i'm sure they could outbid you!
