newbie question: Tommy Gun

[legi0n]

And therein lies the greatest crime and tragedy of our stupid Liberal legacy. In the next 20-30 years, an entire era in history will be destroyed and lost to us forever because of some twits in Ottawa and sheeple everywhere.

unless #1bcshooter adopts me as the only gun-toting child.

It will be interesting in a few years to watch what happens when a few gun collecting kids conveniently forget to tell the RCMP when Dad has gone to the great range in the sky. Or when some gun-ignorant kids don't know what to do with Daddy's old Tommy and toss it in the BFI bin

sweet Chicago typewriters, BTW!

A good question to ask is....how many 1921 models are registered in canada? how many 1928 models? how many m1's and m1a1's? No one has ever really tallied them up. Then there is the accessories....british thompson boxes.....like the enfield sniper boxes...... I have collected for many years and no really knows what is in canada. I have been told that there are the ultra-rare aluminum receiver model 1928's here. 9mm cal tsmg's here. Maybe even the BSA british made models. It would be interesting to know!

IT would be nice if there were some sort of a privately funded museum that preserved these old F/A firearms.

It is a shame that they can't be passed down the family tree, and sickening that they will all be destroyed by bureaucratic idiots some day.

My Father carried a Thompson occassonally will acting as platoon runner with the Hasty P's in Italy. Dad said was heavy, but it worked. Couple Germans would agree.

We've still got a bunch of those Thompson's downstairs. The Hasty P museum curator has prohib status for full auto
