"Now what you have here is a sawed-off, 12-gauge shotgun," he said, snapping the weapon's foldable stock into place. "A very good street sweeper. You can conceal this gun and take out a room full of people with one shot."Hyperbole, anyone?
And that could conceivably have been the case had the Brunswick Police Department not held its gun buy-back program in conjunction with the Anguilla Freedom Project at Howard Coffin Park in Brunswick Saturday.
But "authorized journalist" Cody Trawick isn't finished! He tells us about "killing machine[s]," and a "sinister appearance" and how "It doesn't take too much work to make a weapon like this fully automatic," not to mention filling even the stoutest of hearts with dread over "completely fresh, hollow-point rounds," or the horrible, narrowly-averted fact that "There's no telling where they would have ended up if they hadn't been willing to sell them to us."
And we can have confidence Cody (and his police informant) knows what he's (she's?) talking about, because of the reference to the "75-round clip," plus the creative way he spelled "Reuger."
And all this in the name of "Freedom," Only Ones-style. Great job there, Cody. Nothing like reporting straight news, although next time, you might want to bring your pom pons.
Completely fresh rounds are extra sinister, alright. We need to let federal felons off-load their murder weapons legally all the time, just to keep completely fresh ammo from taking out rooms full of people.

If this 'authority' says that a Ruger handgun can be made 'fully automatic', I wonder if I could turn my P94 into a 'bullet hose'??
ReplyDeleteI just threw up in my mouth a little becasue his name is Cody. It sickens me greatly that I have to share his name.
ReplyDeleteI sort of wonder if we took a sawed-off double barreled twelve guage to Baghdad couldn't we kill the whole damn city with just two shot shells?
ReplyDeleteMakes one wonder why all that money is spent on cannon, IBCM's, and other strategic weapons, doesn't it?
I sure hope they don't have any sawed-offs in China or Russia or Iran, OH. MY. GOD. WE'RE DOOMED!
I vacation with the family all the time in Brunswick / St. Simon's Island (of course, I carry concealed).
ReplyDeleteTo add to Glynn County's ridiculous anti-gun program, there's an electronic billboard at the causeway leading to St. Simon's Island from Brunswick. I always laugh at one of the ads that warns us that "felons with guns do time".
What a waste.
I have always seen gun buy backs as something evil. I always see felons dumping murder weapons with the police dutiful destroying them, or someone selling a gun they stole from a family member. I also see desparate and oor souls selling the only means with which to defend themselves. On the other hand, it's really a very bad unfunny joke. The buy back yields a miserable 9 guns and they write up a fluff piece to praise the pathetic results, with the police chief acting ad the straight man for the whole business.
