I thought the most interesting scene in the movie was when Kostner/Hamer goes into the gun store and buys a Thompson SMG, a Colt BAR clone and multiple other handguns and long guns and thousands of rounds of ammo with no question other that "Can you pay for all this ?"

It was the scene at which multiple weapons and much ammunition was purchased at a gun store. I explained that it was factual, and anyone could purchase anything and as many of anythings one wanted, including all of the ammunition one wanted, only money was required. I was met with strong disbelief. I explained further that I could order weapons from the Sears catalogue and the purchases would arrive by mail. More disbelief. I went further and explained that at the age of 10, I went to the local hardware store and purchased ammunition for my rifle. More disbelief. I then explained, that thanks to Lee Oswald, this nation has gone from almost no controls to near prohibition. Someone asked "Why Oswald?" I replied, "Because he bought his damn rifles from Sears."John Rayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12951083312592226900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-24133785463794472642019-03-31T06:28:22.786-05:002019-03-31T06:28:22.786-05:00Agree 100%-watched it last night and Kostner &...Agree 100%-watched it last night and Kostner & Harrelson were perfect. Best flick I've seen in a while. I really have to give it to Netflix, commies that they are, for $9/month or whatever it is now, they come up with 2 or 3 or more original & entertaining features every month.<br /><br />Last month there was an Adam Sandler show with several venues of a performance cut into 1 feature. Never really cared for him but I gotta say, this was excellent-I've watched it several times.<br /><br />And the month before, they had a Coen Brothers original movie with 5 or 6 short stories with a old west POV, again, excellent.<br /><br />Last time I was at a theater it was $8 and I didn't even like the movie so for the price, Netflix is well worth itMMinWAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03791810228821770464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-79810276838054313112019-03-30T21:51:02.655-05:002019-03-30T21:51:02.655-05:00It is a good movie.

They mostly apparently didn't hit banks; most of their hits were helpless little country gas stations and small-town stores, and they thought fifty dollars was a nice haul. That said, with their trigger-happy ways, they needed to be brought down and brought down <i>hard.</i> I've never blamed the lawmen for ambushing them; they'd shot their way out of traps set by "the laws" before.Technomadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10438978139389104455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-12383371395896638212019-03-30T20:59:35.996-05:002019-03-30T20:59:35.996-05:00Former Texas Sheriff, gun writer and guitar picker...Former Texas Sheriff, gun writer and guitar picker Jim Wilson has written a fare bit on old estern Law-dogs.
