Gun laws worked so well using 80’s TV and movies. Remember “teflon coated cop killer dum dum bullets” that were so lethal if you even looked at them you would instantly die. Never mind the reason they had to coat the rounds with teflon. And if you put a crossed groove in wad cutters they instantly exploded upon impact so we had to ban hollow points.

If you want gun violence porn, Hollywood is at John Wick #4 (in production?). All of its stars are vocally anti-gun (to the best of my knowledge); #1: Keanu Reeves, Michael Nyqvist, Alfie Allen, Adrianne Palicki, Bridget Moynahan, Dean Winters, Ian McShane, John Leguizamo, and Willem Dafoe. #2: Keanu Reeves, Common, Laurence Fishburne, Riccardo Scamarcio, Ruby Rose, John Leguizamo, and Ian McShane. And #3: Keanu Reeves, Halle Berry, Laurence Fishburne, Mark Dacascos, Asia Kate Dillon, Lance Reddick, Anjelica Huston, and Ian McShane.

Nothing like artistry in firing a handgun while flying through the air! Their gun control is making it look easy AND artistic! The ease at getting & using guns is pure fantasy, but never let a common citizen with no criminal record come in their sight or the ring of their armed security.

No sarcasm was injured in this post!

There is a bit of missing information regarding the use of machine guns in murders. The article states that there are only 2 known instances of machine guns used in murder since 1934. That should be amended to state that there are only 2 known cases of registered MGs used in murders. One was by a cop, the other was by a dentist. MG use by gangbangers and other assorted dirtbags is not common, but there are certainly more than 2 cases of murders by MG.

I don’t know for sure, but heard that the Tommy Gun fired small pellets that didn’t usually penetrate past the muscle tissue.

I think they fired 45 ACP I suppose they could have made shot shells for the 45, they make them for 22 cal.

And who the heck can afford the ammo to feed them?

Only people rich enough to actually find ammo to buy. Have you tried to buy any lately?

Just as long as they use an illegally obtained silencer, that would make it ok.
Wish they weren’t so damn expensive and governmentally interfered with. Silencers I mean, not gangbangers.

45 ACP is correct. Ever shoot shot shells out of a .22 semi-auto? Not enough back pressure to operate a blow-back action. The Thompson is a blow-back action. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thompson_submachine_gun

Eight machine guns were in the hands of gangsters in the 30’s.

The only real automatic weapons fire I can remember in LA county was over 20 years ago, If I recall correctly it was 2 guys with AK 47’s.

The North Hollywood bank shootout.

Keanu Reeves is not anti gun, in fact he is a competitive shooter.

There are not that many machine guns owned or used by gang-bangers.

They are expensive, hard to shoot with anything like accuracy without training and chew through ammo like crazy.

Your average a gang-banger could not hit the broad side of a barn while standing in the hayloft.

Any machine guns owned by gang-banger are owned by the top guy as a brag and likely never used.

I was not aware of this. However I have heard people involved with movie claiming ‘Artistic License’ as a defense against accusations of violence!

The Thompson is a blow-back action.

So is Ruger's 9mm Carbine.
