If you want one, contact Midwest Distributors. They are in the process of purchasing 27 Thompsons from the St. Louis Police Dept.
The guns will be pricey. The department is getting $22K apiece. The article mentions that some of the guns are rather rare. Also, they've been sitting in an armory for over sixty years.

Antiques, eh?
Alas, not a gangster, nor a collector, nor rich.

"Antiques" in that they were made before the cutoff date for manufacturing machineguns that can be transferred to civilians.
I don't know what the current market is for prewar Thompsons, but I'm guessing that they go for $30K or better.
Wish I had $30k to spare. They aren't very useful, but ooweeee!
