First semi-assault rifle sold to public?

[letusbuyyourcar]

The Barrow Gang was involved in five major gunfights with the law, always outnumbered. But not outgunned. One the day that Bonnie & Clyde were killed, these weapons were found in their car:

• Three .30-06 Browning Automatic Rifles (BARs)

• One sawed-off Winchester 10 gauge lever action shotgun

• One sawed off 20 gauge Remington Model 11 shotgun

• Seven .45 Colt 1911 pistols

• One .32 caliber Colt automatic pistol

• One .380 caliber colt automatic pistol

• One Double Action Colt Revolver

They also had 3000 rounds of various rounds of ammunition, plus 100 BAR magazines with 20 cartridges in each.

Many of Parker’s and Barrow’s weapons, and those used by law enforcement to take them down, are still with us, and on display at places like the Texas Ranger Hall of Fame and Museum in Waco, Texas—a must-see for any student of American history, or anyone who loves guns.

Ain't that the same place where the bullet riddled Ford is located as well?

But they were available to them

Part of the reason the 1934 nfa bull**** was forced on Americans was the availability of guns to the public; this passed to supposedly help police with bootleggers .

The bootleggers went, they kept the gun laws, and its been us versus them mentality ever since

Chucklenut, read the original post would you? You're going off-topic, talking about gangsters and their (stolen) machineguns. Start your own thread if you want to talk about that.

I am going to side with chucklenut on this one. Plus I am going g to count the Tommy gun an asult rifle and not a PCC.

Ya'll bunch of pikers don't know it but you're arguing with a bona fide firearms expert. You don't know what you are talking about. chucklenut git your own thread. LOL.

 

[palmettomoon]

He asked about a semi-auto assault rifle sold to the public. That question tells you all you need to know. We do need a point of clarification however. Is he asking about a semi-auto or full semi-auto assault rifle?

So many experts, so little ODT.

 

[whiskerz]

How does a rifle assault anyone ? But by definition it would be full auto capable. so that makes a BAR

 

[threeclicks]

I remember and add in popular mechanics for a full auto bb rifle that ran on freon. Dad wouldn't let me buy it.

Sorry, off topic. I'll start my on thread.
