What is this "Thompson" thing

[Zeake]

De Fuk guys... telling the OP to toss his perfectly legal gun into the trash

I'd trash a Jennings, or a stallard arms.. . .so.....

... so that means it functioned at the minimum capacity of sending one projectile downrange and you lived to tell you story. I have several firearms that were given to me from (now deceased) family members that I will never fire.

That's different. Sentimental value is one thing. I don't know if it is sentimental to the op

Well, apparently not.
The Spitfire carbine didn't work the same way as the Tec-9 /DC9 and the MAC-10.
Instead of having to do some (easy) gunsmithing and permanent mods to the bolt or other fire control parts, on the Spitfire it was simply a matter of pressing down on the safety lever while shooting it.

THAT not only caused ATF to classify it as a M.G. back in 1968, but they did so without any grandfather clause that let people keep the ones they already owned without having to register them.

Spitfire was. Not sure about the Eagle, then there was the Apache and the early Volunteer open bolt.

I'm afraid not. It's a family heirloom piece of crap!

Very cool piece. Gonna have to buy some .45 and a cigar, see?

If I had a Tommygun or anything that looked like it to the average American, I can assure you that at least every other year THIS would be my Halloween costume, and that carbine would be my favorite accessory to go with the suit.
