    Thug robs a corner store with a machine gun

    Police released surveillance video of three men who robbed a Southwest Philadelphia corner store with a machine gun earlier this month.

    The footage, taken August 8, shows three suspects enter the Jaquez Grocery Store on South 62nd Street around noon.

    One of the thugs pulls a tech-9 from his waistband and shoves it in the face of a woman working the counter, while another suspect trains a handgun on two other employees.

    A third suspect acts as a lookout. The perps forced the victims into the basement and fled with $7500.

    The machine gun wielding suspect is about 5'8, thinly built, in his late twenties and was wearing an orange baseball hat. Tipsters should call Southwest Detectives at 215.686.3183

    Thumbs down Re: Hey, everybody, he had a MACHINE GUN ...

    I mean, it had the "shoulder thin that goes up," right?

    One of the thugs pulls a tech-9 from his waistband and shoves it in the face of a woman working the counter, while another suspect trains a handgun on two other employees.
    A "Technical-9," eh? That might well BE a "machinegun," although I've never heard of one.

    Back in the early '90's, I owned a couple of different INTRATEC-9 SEMI-AUTOMATIC pistols, although one would HARDLY confuse them for a belt-fed M60 or some such...

    The company DID make a full auto version - the KG-99 machine PISTOL - that was for export only, since it came along AFTER the NFA Act of 1986. They were popular with the badguys on "Miami Vice" at that time in television history. I'm unaware though, of any sales to Philadelphia area gangbangaz with Class III dealer licenses, prior to the company being sued out of business by Brady butthole types in 2001.

    Maybe the Philly news has a real scoop here, that goes far beyond their penchant for imbedding the latest in pop-up ad technology...

    Perhaps it was the TEC-9 missing from the FUBAR closet in the PPD FIU:

    TEC-9
    KG-99
    MP-9
    All from the same family, of sorts.
    There are registered transferable ones out there. Had one in my hands no more than 6 months ago.

    If the one in the video was a "machine gun", im doubting it was legit LOL
    More than likely just the semi version, and probably stolen.

    You seem a little bit confused; Let's clear this up:

    NFA = National Firearms Act of 1934
    GCA = Gun Control Act* of 1968
    FOPA = Firearm Owners Protection Act of 1986



    The ban on new production of machineguns (actually, all machine guns) came as an amendment to the last of these three, added by William J. Hughes D of NJ, and thus commonly referred to as 'the Hughes amendment.'
