The ingenuity of the American people never ceases to amaze me, and what lengths criminals will go to in order to conceal things. I saw this story on the news last night. A Fresno, California fellow, took apart a Super Soaker water gun, and made it in to what authorities are calling a "Zip Gun" it is something that only one round can be fired through, in this case a 20gauge shot gun shell.
The scary part is folks are doing it more frequently because its cheap, only cost about 30.00 for the transition, and you do not need to be a firearms expert to make these.
The only thing is that the people making the guns do not expect is how the casing can withstand the blast. Not only could they kill someone innocent, but also themselves in the process.
However, my thought behind stories like these is that it is just more ammunition for the Anti-Gun folks to use against us law abiding gun owners. Soon liberals will try to take your childs favorite water guns, and nerf guns off the market...
This particular fellow really wasn't too smart in that he was all ready a convicted felon in possession of ammunition, now add all the new charges,and needless to say he will be away for a long time.
So be careful this summer because that innocent little child's water gun, may just hold a bigger blast then just water....
And the worst part is that you can probably find a "do-it-yourself- kit" online. Crazy stupid!
ReplyDeleteAnd you're right, the anti-gun nuts will use any means they can to take away our rights.

I am always thinking of different chemicals to shoot from those super soakers. They have some possibilities for defense I think.
