Bonnie and Clyde's Guns Sell for $504,000

According to USAToday, the notorious couple, Bonnie and Clyde's, guns sold for a total of $504,000. Bonnie Parker's .38 caliber Detective Special sold for $264,000 and Clyde Barrow's sold for $240,000. The odd thing to me is, these firearms have nothing special about them except for the fact that they were used by Bonnie and Clyde, but other than that, they are just standard handguns. Also, a submachine gun (most likely a .45 caliber Model 1928 Thompson) and a shotgun used by Bonnie and Clyde were sold for around $130,000 and $80,000, respectively. Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow had definitely made a name for themselves, even if they had died 80 years ago. According to the FBI's website, the gang had possibly killed at least 13 people. The famous image of "Hollywood's" Bonnie and Clyde portrays them as glamorous outlaws, but the reality is far from this. The duo were actually very "incompetent" people. Once Clyde had lost his way while trying to get away from a crime and managed to drive right passed the scene of their own crime. Their life of crime is what eventually led to their demise, however. One day, as they drove alone, there were six law enforcement officers waiting for them off the side of the road. When the gang drove passed, they were shot with a total of 140 rounds of ammunition. Bonnie and Clyde were two of the most notorious gangsters during the Roaring Twenties and the Great Depression who will be remembered for years to come.
