Thankfully the guy registered the tommy gun in the 1968 amesty!

Melton Lairmore, Mark Lairmore’s father, registered the Thompson submachine gun under the name of Lairmore Armored Car Inc. in 1968 in accordance with the Gun Control Act of 1968. The weapons were displayed in the Springfield Police Museum, known as The Calaboose, from 1973 until 2011.

New York (CNN) -- The most prized possessions of Bonnie and Clyde, the notorious lovebird bandits killed nearly 80 years ago, were sold for a price that the couple could only imagine getting after one of their infamous bank jobs.

One of the featured items of the auction was Bonnie Parker's personal Colt .38 snub-nosed revolver, which sold for $264,000. Clyde Barrow's Colt .45 sold for $240,000. Parker's revolver was found taped to her inner thigh and Barrow's on his waistband the day they were ambushed and fatally shot by a police posse in Louisiana in 1934.
