Review guns that changed history as we examine the firearms used to assassinate Presidents Kennedy, McKinley, Garfield, and Lincoln, and the gun that triggered WWI when it was used to kill Archduke Ferdinand.

Their choices were based upon innovative design, individual function, and impact on history. TV G
