Bonnie and clyde guns

  Bonnie and clyde guns_Two guns thought to have been used by bank-robbing fugitives Bonnie and Clyde have been sold for $210,000 at an auction in Kansas City, Mo.
The Joplin Globe reported that on Saturday, an online bidder from the East Coast bought the weapons believed to have been seized from the outlaw couple's Joplin hideout in 1933.
The buyer secured a .45-caliber, fully automatic Thompson submachine gun - better known as a Tommy gun - and a 1897 Winchester 12-gauge shotgun. Mayo Auction, of Kansas City, was not allowed to release the buyer's name.
Two law enforcement officers died during a shootout at the Joplin apartment where the couple and members of their gang were holed up. All the members of the Clyde Barrow gang escaped.

According to the FBI, the couple was killed the next year in a shootout in Louisiana.
