According to AR15.com member FREEFALLE7 this is a real sign at Fort Benning Georgia:

Wait, is there a Fort Benning in a province called Georgia in Canada?

Oh never mind… I guess gun registration is now mandatory here in the U.S.  too, especially on Army posts.

The ETF was responding to calls of a man in an office with a gun — tipped off by a nosy neighbour whose apartment overlooks Bell’s office. The neighbour thought he saw a real pistol.

Toronto police said the response wasn’t an over-reaction.

God forbid someone besides a police officer would have a gun at work.

I was actually over at Brickgun the other day checking out their different LEGO guns, so when I got wind of this story I knew exactly where he got his LEGO gun when I saw the picture in the article.

From Video:  “They cuffed me and threw me against the wall”

Was that really necessary?

I’d hate to think how they would respond to a bunch of kids playing airsoft in the park, there would probably be casualties.

To purchase one of these menacing looking guns head over to Brickgun – HERE

The Glock type model from the story is called a “Semi-Auto with Mag”… it consists of 277 LEGO pieces and is $69.99 + Shipping

There are also Desert Eagles, Mac-11’s, Beretta 92, and H&K MP5 type LEGO kits availble for purchase.

Purchase at your own risk if you live in Canada

Kalashnikov Vodka

Apparently this “limited” release vodka and souvenir AK-47 shaped bottle has been around for a while.  Today was the first time I had ever seen or heard of it.

It comes in a cardboard box, with a wooden carrying case inside (pictured).  The bottle itself contains 1 liter of vodka, and attached is a dog tag with a number (1-13000) representing the ID number of your bottle.

The bottle would definitely be a neat collectors item.  A google search yeilds no clear results on the price or where it’s available stateside.

Tommy Guns Vodka

The bottle in this case of course is shaped like a Tommy gun.  It is readily available in the US for around $50.

If you are reading this and you live in Canada… it’s not a good idea to point a bottle of either one of these at the police.  You will be arrested.

EDMONTON — Edmonton police say they’ve arrested a 24-year-old suspect after a man pointed what turned out to be a machine gun-shaped liquor bottle at an officer conducting a traffic stop Friday night.Around 11 p.m., police say a second officer noticed a man in a nearby house pointing what looked like a long barreled gun at the officer doing the traffic stop.

More officers were called in and the home was surrounded.

Several people inside the house eventually surrendered peacefully.

Police then discovered that it wasn’t a real weapon that had been pointed at the officer – it was a liquor bottle made in the shape of a gun.

Jessie Shamarchi Petrin, 24, was charged with possession of an imitation weapon dangerous to the public peace.

*You’re strolling down the street… soccer moms are grabbing their kids and glaring at you… the police are called… you end up face down on the concrete…*

That is one scenario that wouldn’t likely happen if you were able to have one of these in the US and open carry it.

The Swiss Mini Gun

It shoots 2.34 mm calibre rim fire ammunition which we have developed for it and which is the smallest rim fire ammunition in the World.

According to the information page:

It is NOT available in the US because it does not meet the minimum size prequisites according to the ATF Form 4590 criteria for weapons.

Interestingly enough in Canada it is apparently 100% legal, and is not even classified as a firearm.

Price - 6′300 Swiss France (which is equal to roughly $6200 US !!!#$!@#$) wow.. that’s pricey, not to mention it also says ammo is $10 US each shot!

Nevertheless it’s definitely feat of mechanical engineering!

Saw this while browsing on the internet today:

“Glock 1 Yours to discover” sounds like a threat against would be car jackers

OTTAWA –A long-running effort by the Conservatives to kill the long-gun registry has passed an important hurdle in the House of Commons, with a majority voting for the first time in 14 years to study a bill to repeal it.

MPs voted 164-137 to give “second reading” — or “approval-in-principle” – to a private member’s bill sponsored by MP Candice Hoeppner (Portage-Lisgar) that calls for the repeal of legal requirements to register long-barrelled rifles and shotguns.

Still a ways to go though:

The vote late Wednesday now sends the bill to a committee for more study. It could die in committee, or be amended as long as changes adhere to the spirit of the bill. But generally, a bill that passes “second reading” may not be completely re-written to contradict its original intent.
