it's way cool, quite the conversation piece.

Of course you know that some idiot will see this picture and think what a great idea, let's attach the bottom part of a plunger to a real shotgun and see if it actually works.

I would love to be a fly on the wall of the idiot that actually tried that.

You know it will happen, hopefully they will use salt rock...but all bets are off. I can see that conversation with the cops, "but he said it was salt rock!"

Or the innocent Afghanis?
Oh wait, you can't.
Those people are dead as a direct consequence of a ballot box, IE, the election of GWBush and his cabal.

Being obsessed with mechanisms designed to kill and that are used on an almost daily basis in this country to kill innocent people is a mental health issue. We need to do two things.
1. - Figure out a way to keep firearms away from these people. Using the No-Fly list might be a good start.
And 2. - Reduce the number of firearms floating around in this country. Make them harder to buy/acquire. The number of People having firearms is only about 30 to 35 percent of the population, while the number of firearms is approaching our population numbers. Something is very wrong here. It is long past time to put a stop to the slaughter.
