FULL TEXT BELOW:
An audit of weapons at a Claremore gun museum has found not as many guns are missing as was thought, but the disappearances may go back nearly 40 years.
The state audit found at least 125 firearms are missing from the J-M Davis Arms and Historical Museum.
Rogers County District Attorney Gene Haynes asked for the audit and says more investigation is needed to determine who took the guns.
He says it's likely the weapons were taken by people who had authorized access to them.
Some guns in the museum are worth up to 50-thousand dollars and the collection includes a 500-year-old Chinese hand-cannon and the world's smallest automatic pistol. -------
Submitter's Note: The museum is operated by the State of Oklahoma. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
