The Guns of the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre: Al Capone Gets Away with Murder

John May’s dog Highball came through the attack unscathed. However, the poor hound was so traumatized by the event he had to be euthanized.

We find the 1920’s-era gangsters and their tools of destruction endlessly fascinating. Sadly, like pirates, they were in actuality cold-blooded killers in possession of few if any admirable traits.

This next installment in our study of assassination guns takes us to a dark place. Most assassinations are driven by some warped form of patriotism. The killing is intended to send a message or right some perceived political wrong. However, at other times men commit premeditated mass murder based upon pure unfiltered greed. This is the sort of killing we shall investigate today.
