I was gonna post a wise-guy "why not?", but I clicked through and now I just want to

 

[MasterShinken]

That is a sad thing to do to get a prop

WTF????

Perhaps THIS explains it:

Location K6A 1E8 Canada

Perhaps a feeler by the ATF to see just how stupid people are WRT to the statement of "we aren't going to take your guns".

In this instance, you can keep the gun, but we've welded shut so you can practice poor trigger discipline safely

Reminds me of the scene in Snatch where Bullet Tooth Tony says "because your guns say replica down the side and mine says desert eagle point five oh"

You think if I send it to SW they will refurb it?

One of my all time favorite movies!

What a shame. Even the welding is an eyesore. [sad2]

 

[Underwhere]

Wow that welding doesn't look great.

That's really pretty disturbing.

What the hell is the point when can spend a fraction of that cost to just get a toy gun that will look the same. And guess what! Toy guns have triggers that you can pull too without terrible looking welds all over it.

If you really wanna have a good cry look at this site.

There are some really nice guns and some really old guns that have been essentially destroyed.

Wow...it's like all the fun of sex without attraction or orgasm.

All the fun of beer (i.e. peeing) without the buzz

All the fun of skydiving without the cumbersome parachute.

I am wondering where the profit margin is when you take a perfectly good gun and turn it into a paper weight...

Doesn't seem like a good business plan to me.

But for a single vote on the Supreme Court, we'd be looking at our own future.

When MA outlaws private transfers, we will get to do the same with all of our non-compliant guns, turn them in for destruction. All of your valuable collectors items and irreplaceable antiques will be torched, welded up, chopped and then melted down because they are too dangerous to be in private hands.
