It's a beat up POS with decent scope rings. It would sell for next to nothing were it not for the infamy.
I personally couldn't buy it and use it without thinking about the creepy factor but it's not that big of deal to me either. I'm driving a vehicle that was involved in a fatality while I was driving it. It crosses my mind sometimes but you can't fix stupid, and you can't expect mentally ill to make reasonable decisions.

The only thing classless about it is the amount of time since the incident.

You guys getting all emotional about an inanimate object? Sound like liberals!!! If you want to get all emotional, do it about the guy that did it. Anybody upset at the jeans he was wearing that day? Didn't think so.
Lay it on a table and watch how many people it kills in the next several decades. It's just a gun, go hunt it.

What was the story on "The Dead Man's Gun?"
If I remember right there was either a story, TV Series,or Movie on that subject.

That (I won't say g n) should have been melted down long ago. Yeah. That evil gun. We should probably even pass a law to keep other people from owning guns like that. Out of respect for all the people that gun killed.
your flippant remarks which you so adeptly sling

That (I won't say g n) should have been melted down long ago. Yep. Out of respect for the dead and their relatives. Why? It's simply a rifle and a tool. I don't give it any more or less "personality" than any others. Seems the anti-2A crowd imbues firearms with "evil" characteristics all the time and to no good end. Why should we do anything similar? This and nothing more, What's wrong here is someone trying to make a buck on some pretty sorry provenance (the gun's misuse by Charles Whitman) It isn't anymore a sniper rifle than any gun any of us own. Older 700 ADL's in 6 mm Rem are a scare item I've looked for years for on in good shape to use for deer and antelope hunting. Should we get rid of 223's and 308's cause they were used to shoot dinks and towelheads ? DUH Magnum Man

The shooting occured in 1966 and the 788 wasn't introduced until 1967.

So you all geel the same way about auctions for medevial torture devices right? They should all be destroyed and not put out for sale of profit?

Deflave hit the nail on the head. This is something that if not a majority here, at least a lot of us remember happening first hand during our life. I wouldn't expect the same antipathy if this was Jesse James' gun or even a Walther owned by Goering. The historical aspect in those cases would make it pretty desirable to a lot of people. Simply hasn't been long enough in this case.
