This was a Colt 1917 45 acp pistol converted to some kind of 221 Fireball or something I saw on Gunbroker a few years ago.

That has to be photoshopped there is no way that that magazine would lock into the magazine well like that

Still funny, tho.

What am I missing in this pic?

 

[Waveski]

I'd like to know too.

And - What the heck is the context or meaning of the Davito picture?

At the risk of regenerating a discussion that has already taken place , it is my firm opinion that it is irresponsible , potentially dangerous and therefore wrong to associate a firearm with a children's toy.

A gun should never be made to look cute and attractive to children.

While I'm at it , to suggest that Hello Kitty is "what it takes" to get a woman to shoot a gun is a sad commentary on some male attitudes towards women.

It's a GUN , not a kindergardener's lunch box!

Thpthtphtphtp! I know some girls that like that kind of thing. As one girl so aptly put it "Don't yuck my yum!" It's okay for shooting to be fun. Why shouldn't firearms be made attractive to children? It's why the Chipmunk is so popular.

I’ll reserve judgement on the first picture (wrench bolt handle). It could be a creative solution by a hunter with (a) a disability, and (b) limited resources...

I mentioned that already in post 48:

Why ?

Here are some sound realities :
1) Adults make mistakes.
2) Guns are dangerous in the wrong hands.
3) Guns are not toys.
4)Toys are meant to be played with by children.
5) Children should never play with real guns because of the obvious and extreme danger of that.
6) Guns should never be made to look like a toy that a child should play with.

What the heck - I'll throw in a No.7 -
Adults who think it's cute to make a working firearm look like a child's toy should pause , remind themselves that they are in fact adults , and not be foolish and irresponsible about firearm presentation and handling.

I don't see where anyone suggested that.

You'll get my neice's pink "Hello Kitty" gun only when you pry it from her angry 11 year old fingers after a lot of shrieking, shin kicking and slamming of doors.

would that count as a vertical or angled grip on an AR pistol?

Believe it or not, somebody asked the ATF that question.

Antone know where and when the long gun bonfire picture was taken?

In Kenya, back in 2016, burned over 5000 weapons. "To deter crime"

Now there, my friend, was some impressive politically correct tap dancing.

I'll raise your nickle, and 5 more, that this did nothing to deter anyone.

Just looking at the current state of Kenya, good luck anyone taking your bet gents.
