Assassins!

The talk about Iver Johnsons got me thinking about President McKinley.  Then assassins and their firearm manufacturer choices.

Iver Johnson was used to off RFK and President McKinley

Boothe could afford a custom handmade Deringer.  Which was a brand of sorts, too.  Unless it was a Derringer.  The knock off of the original.

JFK got his from a Carcano surplus job.

Garfield got popped with a Webley Bulldog

Reagan caught one from a Rohm .22

Squeaky Fromme tried to shoot Gerry Ford with a Colt .45. 17 days later another 'nice' lady took a shot with some kind of .38 revolver.  Damn hippies.

MLK Jr. was cut down by a Remington.

Fabrique Nationale for Franz Ferdinand

Dunno what was used on Huey Long, the Kingfisher

Medger Evers was shot with a milsurp Enfield 1917


So a plethora of often inexpensive boomsticks used to commit and outrage.
