I found this on Mother Jones website. Pretty cool and totally politically incorrect.

My favorite is "Then-Senator Truman shows off a pair of pistols once owned by Jesse James to Vice President John Nance Garner, 1938. (According to the Library of Congress, "Senator Truman secured the guns in Southern Missouri from a doctor's wife, whose husband received them in payment of medical services rendered Frank James, another of the James' boys.")"

Amazingly I got a Hildabeast pop up regarding support for planned parenthood.
 
Don't suck me into these mother jones sites. Then I started reading the comments and get all worked up.
 
The gun in question isn't a "Golden Boy" as it doesn't have the Brasslite receiver. If it is a Henry, it might be a "Big Boy".
If you look closely at the top, it appears to be a top eject. That makes it one of three rifles, a Winchester Model 92, the Rossi clone of the same, or possibly a Uberti.
 
Eleanor Roosevelt was quite an independent lady and was known to drive herself around the country with a traveling companion.... and her revolver.

Those were the days when a gun was just a gun, and not a "GUH-UHN!" :what:

Teddy Roosevelt used a Silencer. That diminutive other word wasn't invented until the 70's by a hack SOF writer to make them more palatable to gov. procurement officers. Teddy didnt do anything PC.

That isn't a top eject, it's just a shadow on the flat part of the receiver. You can see the ejection port on the side, and the tip of thw mag tube has the knurl to remove the inner tube, a la Henry rifles.
 
Love how the eighth photo down shows President Kennedy with an "M15", whatever that is? Mother Jones? Ughh, Commie claptrap I don't bother looking at. These are the misinformed idiots who published that piece a year or two ago about the writer to made an "illegal AK47", violating several state and federal laws in the process and then threw it away in the trash without the proper torch cuts to the receiver, another felony. I wouldn't ever do anything to boost their readership, a more anti-gun group of goons you will never meet.
 
^ Thanks. I thought I had read something about an actual, earlier, M-14 variant called the M-15, but I could not do the nitty-gritty research to find the reference, so I didn't mention it.

There was a picture of Bill Clinton holding his gun in his hand, but it wasn't appropriate for children... or nuns.

Also, where's the picture of Bush with Saddam's pistols?
 
Anyone else find it ironic that Reagan was happy to accept the AR-15 but two years later signed a petition, along with Carter, Ford, and Bush Sr., calling for an AW Ban?
