I reckon there are enough to make it worth a try... Think Crested Butte and Telluride... Not to mention the ongoing gentrification of GJ.

I looked at the website. I'm beyond caring what other people do with their guns. Who could possibly care about this? If people want to make stupid expensive garden tools good for them. It doesn't affect me in the slightest.

Ugh. Clicked the link and now I feel dirty and ashamed.

I just had to check out that mattock.

Quite the tool for gardening. If you?re gardening zombies.

You got me thinking... If someone could build a firearm from some of those crappy shovels, created a website, and demo'd it firing, I imaging that person could trigger some feels.

It would also demonstrate that metal is metal and gun control is futile.

I didn?t read the thread but whack jobs in Colorado Springs used to cost $20/20mins or UTC.

Yuk.

I remember seeing this sculpture every time I went to court or police HQ in Washington DC. At the time it seemed to be a better use for metal than becoming Personhole/Maintenance holes (manhole for us old people).

I see that the sculpture has finally found it's way to a Mennonite college. Seems a fitting place.

I've been short selling plowshares since the early 90's.
