Did y'all see this?
Bonnie and Clyde's guns up for auction
And here's the actual auction.
Two police officers died in the shootout so that makes it lose a little lustre for me, but this is still pretty cool. I could imagine a bunch of collectors really ponying up the cash for these! __________________

Winning bid of $98,000 for the two is my prediction. Don't y'all know we're in a downturn? Or as Obama calls it...a recovery?
By the way, that shotgun action is really cool. It is a pump-actuated lever-action-type bolt. __________________

if i was to buy a thompson it would be a functioning shooter, not an expensive collectable that sits on the shelf.
there is a gun range in Eugene oregon that will let you shoot two 25 round mags out of a full auto thompson (i think it's called The Baron's
Den) for about 40 bucks. funnest 20 seconds of shooting i ever did. | |

I went shooting with a former member here, Hunter Joe. He put a Thompson in my hands and stood back and watched the fun. It was the highlight of my shooting so far. I will NEVER forget that day. __________________
