this show gives gun people, southerners, and people who happen to watch an episode a bad name. shewt, I feel a little dumber have seen a few episodes.
I wanna say that was the Tactical Tommy Gun episode. That episode made me throw up in my mouth. I am curious how a semi-auto Thompson gets remanufactured to be a full auto, legally? That whole thing seemed odd to me, but I do understand it was going to a sheriff. I had to question the tactics of a sheriff who'd want a pistol cartridge round for "high risk" house clearing. seems like an M4 or AR15 would be more appropriate!
To clarify, The suppressed guns the daughter sold didn't leave the store, they were just filling out the paperwork and paying for the items.
The lady that was told to leave, well, Red Jacket isn't a typical gun store. They're a joint that specializes in suppressors and what not. The owner did send them to a place/people that could help her get acquainted to firearms.
On the whole, I watch the show to see gun stuff. I loathe the owner and the people who work there (i won't start on that tragedy of a daughter) for perpetuating a negative stereotype of rednecks with guns. quotes like the one about the mohawk wearing kid wanting robotic AK47s patrolling his house make me. And their gun handling and safety practices are deplorable. not to mention their abysmal accuracy!
The phony gangsta attitude on the shop tour and the hip-hop schucking and jiving get to me too. Grew up in NC, didn't know they were so bad down in MS.
The manufacturing of a new full auto for Sheriff, or even for stock is OK for a FFL 07/02 SOT (manufacturer/dealer, special occupational taxpayer...in ATF speak). But that Thompson abortion was just dumb. If I was the Sheriff and wanted a pistol caliber full-auto, I'd just buy an HK UMP 40cal. UMP is the new HK sub-machine gun designed to replace the MP5.
