[Johnny Guest]

Until fairly recently, we are fond of saying that there has NEVER been a legally registered machine gun used in the commission of a crime. Then, a year or two back, it was acknowledged that there had been one, single, instance of that happening.

The story varies with who is doing the telling. I've heard that it was a cop, somewhere--locations vary. Used either his own, personally registered SMG to shoot up some bad guy. Or a legal weapon owned by his agency and issued to him. One version has it that he or his family were victimized and he took the law into his own hands. Another one says he was a crooked cop to begin with, and was cheated by another criminal.

I'm not interested in putting any particular spin on this story--It's just that there are enough versions that some of them HAVE to be erroneous. I'm just trying to track down the straight scoop on this tale. Can anyone here give me a reference or web link to the true story? I'd be very obliged.

Best,
Johnny
