My info was gleaned from an NRA magazine article several years ago. I am
vague on the no. of weapons and the ghetto name. I do remember the 6
months time period. The gist of the article was to do with registering
guns and because the SS did not have an accurate count that is why they
stayed away so long.
Is this the one they burned down? Is there another that fits that
criteria?
