Minnie Gun Alert!


Federal ATF Agents issued an officer safety advisory on what is called the world’s smallest gun after a CBS 2 inquiry. The Alert has been issued both in the New York and nationally to all Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives criminal investigators and will be passed on to other federal agencies.

The latest miniature gun that is alarming ATF agents is the SwissMiniGun. It’s extremely small -- just over two inches long. It comes with tiny bullets designed especially for the weapon that can penetrate skin. Even in its holster, this gun is so small that law enforcement experts say it could pass for a keychain ornament.
We've already seen the horrors of the SwissMickeyGun!

"Authorized journalist" Ti-Hua Chang reminds me of the cliché hysterical woman from disaster movies--you just wanna slap him for being a shrieking ninny.

David, I remember your original post and how we all laughed, the part that blew me away (pun intended) about this story is that the BATFE takes this so seriously that they have issued an officer warning for this product!

Get this nonsensical crap:
Quote:"William McMahon, special agent in charge of the New York ATF office, that makes it the perfect stealth weapon for a variety of criminals.
“A terrorist, a criminal trying to sneak into bank, all kinds of criminals. I can see no legitimate reason to own this gun. It seems to be just made to be hidden,”

This is the ATF SAIC?!?!? WTF?

Yeah, a terrorist is going to use it. We must be a laughing stock to our enemies. This amount of ignorance is no laughing matter regarding the NYC SAIC for the ATF!
