Hey, somebody had the good sense to give away a silly little mouse gun! There's a problem here?

If there funding is low why not make sure the serial numbers are clear. Clean the guns up and sell them at auction to law abiding citizens just looking for a deal....oops that actually makes sense....

Uh, 1 inch = 25.4 mm, so 32 mm = slightly over 1 1/4 inches.
We are always poking fun at the ignorant media.
Anti-gunners seem to believe that if we just pass enough laws, we can have utopia. Unfortunately, utopia is NOT one of our choices.

I'm guessing it was a .32 acp = mousegun.
I would pay money to see someone fire a 32 millimeter handgun - as long as it's not someone I know and love. lol

I saw that on the front page of the Times Union. I wonder how many criminals turned in their guns?

Years ago I was at a "gun surrender" in Newark NJ. People were bringing in all sorts of guns for $50 AmEx gift cards. They took in around 200 guns during the weekend.
From what I saw most were junk, and most were turned in by women and minors. I do remember some moron turned in a perfect looking Glock 19, and another turned in a Sig 225 that looked pretty nice........ the rest were just crap guns from what I could tell. Old revolvers and shotguns mostly......
Several "no name" looking polymer autos, must have been 50 of those things in a pile and not ONE of them looked to be worth a darn...

Gun turn in's are nothing more than a "feel good-do nothing" exercise for the sheep.
