    Prohibition doesn't work, it only feeds the mafia, we should have learnt that from history, it wasn't that long ago damn it.

    @NikiDaDude the reason prhibition and stuff like weapons bans do is make people turn to shady sources to get the stuff. if someone really wants alchohol or a weapon, they will find a way to get it.

    Ella looks tight with those guns. Next episode you hold guns Ella you should hold them outward with arms seperated at a 45 degree angle. Basically the same image of the intro to Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles with Cameron (Summer Glau) holding a gun in each hand while the 3D modeling rotates. You can just search on YT and see what I'm talking about or go to my channel and look up my recent favorites of the show.

    @vicepresidentfru1tly: No gun cares what it kills. The Tommy Gun was a machine gun and *that* is what made it the gun of choice. Like a slow motion shotgun with 00 pellets.

    And as we all know, most of the Gangsters back in those days wound up getting shot to death by either rival gangsters or the Feds.
    Most of the Bugs Moran gang bought it in a garage on N. Clark Street on St. Valentines Day.
    Bugs Moran died of lung cancer on February 25, 1957.
    His mind gone and his body ravaged by Syphilis, Al Capone died of cardiac arrest on January 25, 1947.
