If I am not mistaken, the father of Hiram Percy Maxim invented a machine gun. Did you hear this also?

It's true. Hiram Maxim, the father of Hiram Percy Maxim, invented the automatic gun that bears his name.

He's credited with the gun silencer among his other inventions. Not a guy who would be well thought of by today's lefty crowd.
