So much for Saturday Night Specials

The shotgun pictured didn't look too "sawed off" to me. Also, the Cruiser model 500 has a magazine tube long enough, IIRC, that you couldn't saw it off below the legal limit without the magazine tube being longer than the barrel anyway.
 
Maybe the good liberal politicians of Stockton and Lodi, should just ban all gangstas.

L.W.
 
Crime-gun? Yes lets seperate the human aspect completely. The gun comitted the crime on it's own.
What a load of B.S. :barf:
 
Let's see...

"If guns cause crime, all mine are defective."

"Guns cause crime like flies cause garbage."

I'm trying to remember some more.

This reminds me of what I just read yesterday on Michael Bane's blog... he was talking about the gang culture in Denver and the city gov't trying to blame it on guns.

Hey... "gun control is use both hands" and "gun control is hitting your target".
 
I am always surprised when I watch COPS and they arrest a drug dealer/ gang banger/ all around Bg types. A vast majority of the time they have the most worthless handguns I have ever seen. Rusted pieces of junk in usually small calibers and the last guy that I watched had a few extra bullets in a plastic baggie. i know this is off topic but I just wanted to add an observation:)
 
Yeah that was kinda' my point Tank Mechanic... from all the various articles, statistics, etc. I have come across, it was surprising to see these firearms described. I am probably stereotyping here, but I would expect to see these in the hands of more "professional" types (again maybe I get this from film, tv, and THR:D )

**I am still scratching my head head about the Redhawk.

**terrible reporting/reference of the Mossberg being the example of the sinister "sawed off"
 
What a load of hooey (I would use a different word, but this is "The High Road".)

This worthless piece of propaganda purports to talk about the threat of Cambodian street gangs, but zeros in on the weapons. Why not ship the louts (once again, I could think of a different word) back to Cambodia?

They probably looked at every crime in the U.S. for a year and picked the 5 "coolest" firearms.
 
Ya know,,,,, I always thought the saturday night special was quarter beers at the local tavern,,,,,,

It's not. I'm convinced that the pictures in the article were of firearms of the same make and model as the guns described, but were not the actual guns used in the crimes. Note that nowhere does it say that the pictures are of the actual guns being discussed. Someone probably just lifted images off the 'net of similar firearms for use in that article.
 
Three years ago I had a reputation for buying guns at a plant I worked at. I did buy and sell 5 over a two year period. Anyway, a forman brought in a trunkload of his kid's guns he tried to unload. Turns out, I found later, his kid was in prison for running a drug ring. When he opened the trunk, I knew I was not in the market. They had all been left in this rusty trunk way too long. The only weapon I wish I had purchased (if it was clean) was a HiPoint 9mm carbine with a broken stock. I had never seen a rusty synthetic stock before. I suggested he see a scrap metal dealer. I wasn't interested. He couldn't have gotten $100 for all at a gun show parking lot and must have had 15 handguns in there.
 
I'm disheartened to learn that criminals have access to the internets to learn about quality guns. Guess I need to practice more.


What has me confused, though, is that the article failed to mention how Federal and State (CA!) gun laws prevented these crimes. They didn't, of course. The gun laws also didn't solve the crimes. Hardworking policemen did.

Absolutely. I demand a similar "expose" be conducted with DUI manslaughter incidends highlighting the types of alcohol (broken down by brand) consumed each night.

Better include the types of vehicles driven too. Crime gun? Crime alcohol? Crime car? It's all the same crock.
 
Umm... I've never referred to my Beretta 92 as a "bottle cap gun". I mean cripes, they make it sound like a $5 pawn shop gun.
