Francesca Rice no longer serves in her country’s armed forces, but she brought a piece of the action back home with her.
It seems the Lakewood vet had stockpiled her Edgewater Towers condo with a home arsenal including handguns, shotguns, a sniper rifle — plus a Thompson sub-machine gun, just in case the pizza guy got fresh.

Where is the lawsuit againt all that ROGUE PORK? Both the government entity, and the individuals personally, for grand larceny, deprivation of civil rights, and official oppression? This is one more reason why all REAL Americans must now put our 2nd Amendment FIRST!! Remember that America wasn’t won with a registered gun!
There are more semi auto Thompsons on the market than full auto I bet.
Faster Than Light drive.
It is also a fat-finger typo.
I meant to type FFL.
BTW...you are the only one of a dozen responders to catch that one.
“Sounds like a small collection, less than what I have even.”
I am like you. Not much of a collection. But they would have missed my thompson as it is a violin case
Kinda harsh, don't ya think?
I wish more Americans had such a "lame collection".
