21 smoker Posted March 1, 2004 Report Share Posted March 1, 2004 DDay,...didn`t see that pic... but did you catch the front page pic of the cop with the M14?... probably some of the batch scumbag clinton gave away...caption read a gang was approaching and the guy was concerned...with an M14?????...no wonder they need the Marines to bail`em out....my .02,out. http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/wink.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimFromFL Posted March 2, 2004 Report Share Posted March 2, 2004 I opened the front page and they had a picture of two guys in the front (1 Beretta pistol) and the other guy had what appeared to be a Colt Thompson as it did not have a compensator. The guy in the back looks to be holding a Garand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fencer Posted March 2, 2004 Report Share Posted March 2, 2004 Haiti Thompson Photo #1 I got another picture but I can't host it so I can't post it! (whoa that was deep) Now, that's how one should be armed against an "Insurrection/Guerilla War". Arthur, I don't think the Haitians are turning back American boat people!

M1tommygun Posted March 2, 2004 Report Share Posted March 2, 2004 I saw a clip on the telly the other day which showed some rebels with M1 Garands and M14s. They still show up in 3rd world countries. Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimFromFL Posted March 2, 2004 Report Share Posted March 2, 2004 Hmmm, Garands and Thompsons..... Maybe the US is supplying these people with old surplus firearms. http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/cool.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colt21a Posted March 2, 2004 Report Share Posted March 2, 2004 WHY did the headline read."would you buy a thompson from this guy"?? RON Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M1tommygun Posted March 2, 2004 Report Share Posted March 2, 2004 I wonder, if I start my own country down here in NC, would the gvt supply my fledgling army with the basic armament? How do I apply http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif ? Hmm, a couple of Thompsons, garands, maybe several M-60s and maybe a used main battle tank.

21 smoker Posted March 2, 2004 Report Share Posted March 2, 2004 Phil,.. I thought you were describing clinton...`death squad`,`accepting bribes`,`fraud and embezzlement`...that`s got bill`n`hillary written all over it...for a minute there I figured you just forgot about the `intern in the closet`...my bad..out. http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/wink.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunner Posted March 2, 2004 Report Share Posted March 2, 2004 Phil, I have to agree with your assessment of some of our misguided alliances. And it shouldn't be a "Left v. Right" issue. Sometimes we've made it that way, and we've suffered as a result. By the way, there's a good book out that you might enjoy, "Charlie Wilson's War," about former Rep. Wilson's single-handed campaign to get U.S. aid to the Mujahadeen (SP?) during the Soviet occupation. I never made it to Afghanastan, but I knew Wilson and several other players described in book, and it seems to be a even-handed portrayal. One reason I mention this is because it describes another example of a well-intentioned effort with future unintended consequences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike45 Posted March 4, 2004 Report Share Posted March 4, 2004 I would bet that he would part with the 21 for a pair of C notes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
