re: #60 allegro

Oh yeah, silly me, chess and stamp collecting is EXACTLY like machine guns that serve no purpose other than destruction… or something. *eyeroll*

Assuming you can find one, a legally transferable 1928 Thompson SMG will run you $22,000, plus $300 ATF tax stamp & approval along with your local LEO’s sign off on the purchase.

Ever since the 1986 ban on civilian ownership of new made machine guns, the existing guns have all gone up enormously in value, have become very hard to find and very difficult to purchase in most areas. They have effectively become investment grade collector’s items.
