Toys and rocks to gun fights, with predictable results. Thanks Gun Bunny.
Finally, is not liberty the restricting of the law only to its rational sphere of organizing the right of the individual to lawful self-defense; of punishing injustice?

Oh, boy, a two-fer.
First, a toy gun to a gun fight. FAFO. What did the teen think was going to possibly happen? Oh, that’s right, he didn’t think. Dumbass.
And second up, a rock to a gun fight. We may have had that already, but I don’t recall right now at pre-dawn pre-caffeine oh-dark-too-damned-early.
Additions to the 3″ three ring loose leaf binder set of T2NB2AGF have been getting scarce lately, seems we’ve already documented most of the usual suspects. And criminals have been proving themselves SO unimaginative lately.
So, well done, Gun Bunny, ya done good today. (Pats on head, rumples hair)
Awww (kicks rock) Shucks. Just got lucky, Tox. TPTB seem to burying FGS a bit deeper, sticking them in the news feeds later in the evening, and making them go “poof” a lot quicker. More and more are being hidden behind paywalls. The struggle can be real. And one can just about forget about finding an update. Will the next thing to make “The Binder” be a Pet Rock…in the shape of a gun? A toy gun rock if you will? Maybe we need to pass some Common Sense Toy and Rock Laws?
We now have so many areas where your right to defend yourself is restricted more than the “rights” of the perps. The duck’s foot would come in handy if one were to be attacked by a flock of, well you know…ducks.
Some escort duty coming up today. Maybe the K Roger has restocked from being stripped of goods before Helene hit.
Maybe we need to pass some Common Sense Toy and Rock Laws? Sounds good Gun Bunny, but the peeps that make laws will just toy around and rock around the clock taking their time.
Sure, a duck foot pistol may have been a comfort to use in a riot situation.
But how do you carry one around on a daily basis? Any holster would have been bulky. Ditto a pocket. And it looks just plain heavy.
Contrast with a longsword.
Touch that duckfoot off. Unleash
