## 19. TWIN TOMMY GUNS, AND A LIVE ROUND — WACO, TEXAS

**SHERIFF PARNELL MCNAMARA** (44:36): These are twin Tommy guns, 1928 model. Thompson submachine guns. Look at that right there. Very rare. It is stamped "Tommy gun".

**SHERIFF PARNELL MCNAMARA** (44:51): Oh, yeah.

**SHERIFF PARNELL MCNAMARA** (44:53): These were appraised around $45,000.

**SHERIFF PARNELL MCNAMARA** (44:58): Oh, yeah. I don't have any gun that I won't shoot. These are double-barrel 10-gauge Magnums. It has a very tranquilizing effect on the scumbags when you point it at them.

**SHERIFF PARNELL MCNAMARA** (45:25): Go ahead and dry fire it. Hang on a second. Yeah, go ahead.

**SHERIFF PARNELL MCNAMARA** (45:37): Yes.

**SHERIFF PARNELL MCNAMARA** (45:38): Yeah, sure. Got to take it off safety. There you go. Push it forward.

**SHERIFF PARNELL MCNAMARA** (45:47): Okay, don't dry fire that one. Yeah, I thought—

**SHERIFF PARNELL MCNAMARA** (46:04): Yeah, that's— by all means. We hate them. They multiply about every two months. They'll have twelve, fourteen, fifteen piglets, and then they just multiply like rats.

**SHERIFF PARNELL MCNAMARA** (46:29): Killing a hog? Absolutely not.

**SHERIFF PARNELL MCNAMARA** (46:33): You're doing everybody a service to get rid of a pig. No, do not feel guilty. Absolutely, you should feel wonderful when you kill that first pig. And I'm serious.
