Tales of the Gun - Guns of Infamy: Part 2 (A&E Store Exclusive)

A brief montage comprised of archive news film and still photographs highlighting the many dramatic assassinations and political murders which left a deep impact upon this century. Included are the murders which were allegedly committed by the avowed anarchists, Sacco and Vanzetti. The political assassinations of Louisiana Senator, Huey Long, the Reverend Martin Luther King, Senator Robert Kennedy, and Malcolm X. The shooting of Governor George Wallace, the mass killings perpetrated by Charles Whitman, and the murder of former Beatle, John Lennon. All of these crimes were committed with common and inexpensive firearms, but in the hands of an assassin or a madman, they became the infamous guns which changed the course of History. Although the shooting stopped long ago, it can still be heard reverberating to the present day. As time moves forward, the emotions begin to fade and these guns of infamy take on enormous value for collectors and museums. We will examine a number of guns which have left their indelible mark upon the Twentieth Century.
