How many generations was WWII ago?

You used to be able to buy a full -auto Thompson 45 "Tommy gun"
through Sears and Roebuck. * complete with 50 round drum too!

Yup, until 1934.
I have seen magazine ads where they said a Thompson was the perfect

Of course that was when Auto Ordinance was not selling as many to the
army and the cops as they would like.


I would have thought that Capone and the underworld would have been
