Winston Churchill's long lost Tommy Gun has been found. - Polidicks

[QUOTE]With his pinstripe suit, big cigar and Tommy Gun he could almost be a Chicago mobster rather than Prime Minister. The Germans seized on this wartime photograph of Winston Churchill to claim the great leader was no more than the kind of gangster who favoured the Thompson submachine gun. But Churchill’s purpose in posing for the picture was as deadly as the weapon he is carrying which, remarkably, has almost certainly been found after being thought lost following the Second World War.[/QUOTE] Source: [url]http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2885687/Found-74-years-Tommy-Gun-Churchill-used-rally-British-troops-1940-Hitler-prepared-invade.html[/url] [t]http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2014/12/23/06309F95000005DC-0-image-a-7_1419376846538.jpg[/t] [IMG]http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2014/12/23/243C10CB00000578-0-image-a-6_1419376838526.jpg[/IMG]

I seriously hope they put it into a museum. That is quite a memorial piece right there, toward that certain person.

[QUOTE=agentfazexx;46781554]Guns are awesome man. Been shooting for 22 years. Wouldn't take back one second.[/QUOTE] Your response to someone not being a gun person... is to try and explain to them why they should be a gun person?

I'm against guns as fuck but that's a pretty cool looking gun. I got to admit I want that photo of him with the cigar and tommy gun as a tshirt, I've always loved that photo.

[QUOTE=fruxodaily;46782052]I'm against guns as fuck but I do hope they put this in a museum, seeing as arguably Churchill is the most recognisable wartime Prime Minister[/QUOTE] Cuz hammers and rocks kill people by themselves too. Did you know Japan decided to not invade the US because 99% of the US was armed? Did you know that dozens of robberies a day are stopped by normal people that are protecting themselves? I realize 99% of this forum is English and you all are against people protecting themselves, but come on. Who's gonna rob someone that is armed. Stats show that CCW states have the lowest crime because who's going to hold up a person carrying [highlight](User was banned for this post ("threadshitting" - Orkel))[/highlight]

I was turned into some "gun toting murdering redneck" by some uninformed individual who should really understand what he's talking about. Again, English forum with tons of gun totin 'mericans as members... This is what happens. You Englishmen hate guns, we love em. That's it.

The gun debate started in about 4 posts flat nice! Anyway what a beautiful piece of history. Remarkable truly

[QUOTE=ROFLBURGER;46782050]no they're going to give it to the police for the gun recycle program[/QUOTE] sounds about right

[QUOTE=agentfazexx;46782099] Again, English forum with tons of gun totin 'mericans as members... This is what happens. You Englishmen hate guns, we love em. That's it.[/QUOTE] As a Canadian I am going to remain gender-neutral about this upcoming gun debate

[QUOTE=Crash155;46782116]sounds about right[/QUOTE] Sadly

[QUOTE=agentfazexx;46782022]Gun debates on FP are dumb. Just saying, it's a fun fucking sport/hobby/etc[/QUOTE] there is no fucking debate in this thread apart from the one you just created

Literally my entire country is at fault just because people exist that don't have a hard-on for AK-47s

Pretty sweet gun, Winston's a badass

[QUOTE=agentfazexx;46782064]Cuz hammers and rocks kill people by themselves too. [/QUOTE] I don't think gun owners realize how dumb they sound when they use that one, last time I checked those things aren't designed for the purpose of killing and are no where near as effective. Go mass debate somewhere else.

That is simply art.
