the verdict
INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources
3 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that Prohibition-era American gangsters used the Thompson submachine gun in violent crimes?

Unclear. One reference states the Thompson submachine gun became infamous during Prohibition and was used by criminals, and a dissertation documents a violent Prohibition-era gangster, but no placed source directly establishes that American gangsters used the Thompson in violent crimes.
