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.

[JimFromFL]

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.

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]

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.

[JimFromFL]

Hmmm, Garands and Thompsons.....

Maybe the US is supplying these people with old surplus firearms.

[colt21a]

WHY did the headline read."would you buy a thompson from this guy"??

[M1tommygun]

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 ? Hmm, a couple of Thompsons, garands, maybe several M-60s and maybe a used main battle tank.

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.

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.

[giantpanda4]

Wow!
That has to be the first, and hopefully last, pic I see of a 1921 with duct tape!!!

[Zamm]

Giant Panda,
That is of course, original factory duct tape...
Very rare, only seen outside of this country.
Cheers, Zamm

ZAMM,..
If that is a 21 then that duck tape was made on Colt machines...highly rare and collectable!!...numbers matching??...transferable?...Oh the possibilities!!!
PHIL,..
If hilly ever does go national..Murray may have a bunch of new neighbors with similar interests on that island paradise he calls home. just my .02,out.

Did I mention this is the much sought after Thompson #15040? Added another better photo.
Thanks to fencer

[Mike45]

I would bet that he would part with the 21 for a pair of C notes.

[TD.]

I would bet he would stick it in your ear if he thought you had fifty dollars!
