Menacing handguns and super-sized ammunition clips

[doobie]

Gotta love this paragraph of this article

Yet he'd begun assembling an arsenal in August, buying a shotgun and three menacing handguns from a small Champaign gun shop. He added oversized ammunition clips in an Internet purchase from the same dealer that sold the Virginia Tech gunman a weapon.

Screw them. They are sheeple.

 

[Scrivener]

If they were "oversize," how did they fit into the gun?

 

[Jamie]

What exactly does a "menacing handgun" look like? Does it have a really mean face, or growl a lot? Hmmmmm......................

Had to tap them in slightly with a hammer.

This dealer did nothing illegal but you know hes about to start feeling some heat. I wonder what laws the Bradys are concocting about online dealer sales and state lines.

+1 - Which is SO irrelevant. That the purchases (of all but the firearms) could be tracked down *at all* is almost a miracle. Ammo and full cap mags - even in IL - can be bought for cash at any dealer outside Cook; show your FOID to get the ammo, but no record of the sale is made.

The purchases were traceable - at all - because they made them online through that store.

Or in the gun community with his finger practically on the trigger in the first image...

A menacing handgun? So, they're making handguns now that have sentience/artificial intelligence?

No, can't focus on the BG and why he went nuts- can't have any
talk of that... just focus on the device, and hope the problem will go away by trying to ban the device.

F**king numskulls...

And with the hammer cocked.

I wonder if the selector switch is set to full-auto or not?

No, no, no. That's what pistol grease is for. To ease those oversized magazines into menacing handguns.

It was a menacing, fully-automatic assault, service revolver with oversized clip.
