Now you too can own a piece of that history, as Bonnie’s .38-caliber Colt revolver and Clyde’s .45-caliber Colt pistol will join a host of other items in a Sept. 30 auction.The couple were wearing both weapons when they were ambushed by lawmen on May 23, 1934 and gunned them down; Bonnie’s Colt was discovered taped to her inner thigh and Clyde’s weapon was nestled in his waistband. The leaders of the Barrow Gang were responsible for at least 13 murders and countless robberies during the Great Depression, but their blossoming romance and daring heists made them folk heroes.(LIST: Top 10 Crime Duos)The upcoming sale, hosted by RR Auction, could net as much as $200,000 for each weapon,[url=http://www.ldike.com/]michael kors handbags outlet[/url], the most notable items on the block. Texas Ranger Frank Hamer,[url=http://www.ldike.com/]michael kors outlet online[/url], who led the pursuit of Bonnie and Clyde, was awarded the guns after the raid. A collector named Robert E. Davis later purchased Hamer’s memorabilia, and now his estate and that of Clyde’s sister, Marie Barrow, have teamed up for the Amherst, N.H., auction.Also on offer are a gold pocketwatch Clyde was wearing when his Ford was shot full of holes by Harmer’s posse on a Louisiana road; Bonnie’s lipstick case, Coty face powder and powder puff; and a letter Clyde wrote to his brother,http://www.ldike.com/, L.C. Barrow, signed “Bud” — his code name when he was on the run, according to the Associated Press.Bonnie and Clyde met in Texas in 1930 and the two lovers led a gang notorious for robbing banks and stores and killing anyone in their way—including law enforcement—as they eluded capture across the Midwest and South for almost four years.LIST: Top 10 BanditsBono recounts his confession to Father Al (Gore)When Al Gore talks, Bono and Tom Friedman listenThis morning’s big attraction here in Davos was a breakfast in which Bono and Al Gore were supposed to talk about “Combining Solutions to Extreme Poverty and the Climate Crisis.”Bono noted up front that there’s competition as well as combination: “We have noticed that interest from the media that had been so acute on issues of extreme poverty is not so acute now because of the climate crisis.”Then again,[url=http://www.ldike.com/]michael kors sale[/url], Gore cited the League of Conservation Voters scorecard on how many times TV interviewers have asked presidential candidates about global warming. It’s currently 4 times out of 2,830 total questions asked, so that doesn’t seem like overwhelming media attention either.Any discussion on climate change at an event full of people with private jets is a bit cringe-inducing. Bono, to his credit, did not shy from his role as a major global polluter. He described having Gore over to his house: “Here’s the recycler, Al. I’ve got a posh car but it runs on ethanol, Al.”Then he said Gore reminds him of an Irish priest. Bono would confess to him his Gulfstream-flying sins, and Gore would say, “What are you gonna do about it, son?” To which Bono would respond: “I’m trying to be good, Father Al, but to be honest oil has been very very good to me.”After that sobering comedy routine, Gore said:It’s important to try to move away from the idea that personal actions by each of represent solutions to this crisis. In addition to changing the light bulbs, it’s far more important to change laws. The one way to solve the climate crisis is to put a price on climate.I think we need to put a price on carbon, and it needs to be effected globally so those who don’t pay a price for carbon don’t have an advantage over those who do.Is that a copout? I dunno. (Is it a copout to write “I dunno”? Yes!) Although from an economic perspective taxing carbon obviously makes a lot more sense than organizing lots of tree-planting campaigns
