Nice job, Jim.
I had a shotgun, but when I gave up hunting, I sold it. Legally.
What do I need a fire arm for?

You simply cannot punish an object, but you can create an art form.

klk,
it used to be a nice one.
Even flat Swedish women are preferable to flat guns.

Thanks Jim,
As an ER nurse and the Grandfather of some Kindergarten aged children, you took away some of the grief...

Too bad about the Smith and Wesson.
I'd advocate doing that to the shooter before I'd ruin a nice pistol.
I agree, except dead guys aren't as fun to squish.

Your buddy probably doubled the value of that piece of iron. Get him a little PR and he could be looking at a factor of 10 or 20. Toss a couple celebrity guns in the furnace. He's probably not that kinda guy, but he could make a nice business.

It is thought, that Al was the first artist to use the phrase 'Honky Tonk' in 1937 in his song, Honky Tonk Blues. This was a term used for beer-drinking music, often raucous and rollicking, although sometimes lonely and sad.--from the link above about Al Dexter, writer of Pistol Packin' Mama
There has been a tremendous amount of human creativity devoted to developing weaponry.--Tom Cochrane, among others
I personally enjoyed the sh#t out of the Harrah's Antique Fyre Armes exhibit in Reno on their mezzanine. It's gotta be gone now.
Haven't been in Reno in years. Have the stoplights gotten any slower? Have the quick-draw artists gotten any faster?

Yep. I mentioned that gun buy-back in the other dumb-ass thread. Your buddy could spin off the idea to The Cruicible.

We got plenty of iron, furnaces and hipster art galleries. And we're trying to get iron off our streets.
