Ignoring the obvious age of this revolver, gleaned from the only part of its original surface one can discern, given the volume of rust/corrosion/dead barnacles that appear to have encrusted it over the decades, who was this threatening? This is at best a paperweight, or possibly a blunt instrument. We realize that guns are a big deal to our neighbors in the Great White North, but only the ATF (and apparently TPS) would consider this a firearm anymore. We’re sure John Dillinger is relieved to know this gun is off the streets.
Another, not quite so antique, but equally questionably functional find. I’m sure this was a great gun sometime around the release of the original Red Dawn, before it wound up in someone’s prison pocket for the duration of the GWOT.
Look how they massacred my boy!
This one… probably works? It might be just as crusty as the others, but with all the tactical electrical tape, it’s hard to say.
Lastly, this is a favorite. Too new to be a relic of Benedict Arnold, too old to be legally considered a firearm by the ATF. To be fair, they have taken some legitimate, functional, modern firearms off the streets but what does it tell you about strict gun control, if you’re constantly catching criminals with guns? We would consider that a clue, but alas, we aren’t the detectives here.
Note: In looking for photos of this hilarious bullshit, we noticed that the guys over at Guns.com did a very similar story back in April, so give them some love if you want to see more, and check out the cooler stuff TPS netted in their quest to rid their city of curios and relics.
