"The people of Hamilton have an intolerance for gun violence," Leendertse said. "If we save one life, that's worth more than any history."

If an adult male human being honestly thinks that destroying a 200 year old musket is making the world a safer place,I find it hard to believe the dumb SOB doesn't still keep a nightlight on to scare away monsters.

Oh yeah. They'll get "melted" down alright. Melted right into some police officers private gun collection.

You know this is another example of why you need to tell your spouce or children how much your collection is worth. At least for the antique stuff. I hightly doubt they would of been turned in if the owners knew how much they were worth.

What a shame.

Police have also agreed to check a rumour that a .50- calibre cap-and-ball flintlock belonging to Lieutenant William Winer Cooke was turned in and is slated to be destroyed. If true, the weapon would be of extreme historical importance, given that Cooke, who grew up in Hamilton, died next to Custer in 1876.

It's a good thing we have truly knoweldgeable people
looking out for our best interests.

If we save one life, that's worth more than any history.

....My God, is this what all of our forbearers died so violently for?
Apparently gun control and shamless ignorance go hand in hand.

Pffft, don't you guys realize guns have spooky magical powers and can animate themselves to go forth and commit Eeeevil.

"The swords must be destroyed."

 

[Nashmack]

Yeah, you better watch out for that scary brown assault musket!

 

[ABTOMAT]

Hey, this is a serious matter. Those drive-by musket shootings can be a huge problem--just think, a shot could be fired every five miles.

What a load of BS.

"The people of Hamilton have an intolerance for gun violence," Leendertse said. "If we save one life, that's worth more than any history."

Very telling ... any public official who wants to destroy history wants to re-write it so that he gains power.


The Ministry of Truth may have an opening for Mr. Leendertse.



There are plenty of anti gun politicians who would love to destroy every firearm in every museum because they don't want people to know that there is EVER a time when a firearm is a good thing.

...and the western world ridiculed the Taliban for smashing statues.

 

[pharmer]

Somebody please explain how melting a 200 year old musket is going "to save even one life" Joe

 

[bumm]

How incredibly dumb. I can't think of anything else to say...

Once again:

Gun Control: Not really about Guns, it is all about Control.

"The people of Hamilton have an intolerance for gun violence," Leendertse said. "If we save one life, that's worth more than any history."

Satire, right?

 

[BHPshooter]

I can't tolerate such blatant disrespect for history.

Those who forget the past are condemned to repeat it. Perhaps this power-hungry bureaucrat will get that chance.
