I wonder if this could have been LAPD’s kickoff of a “Blunt Object” buyback program. Hammers, clubs, baseball bats, “rocket launchers”, etc.

Because “Police Seize Harmless Plastic Tubes” doesn’t sell newspapers or attract the web clicks which pay the presstitutes’ salaries.

So, in other words, it was an “assault weapon!”

[Mechanicos]

So somebody could buy a few of those scrap tubes for cheap and sell them to the LAPD who will gladly pay top dollar for plastic tubes...

There’s quite a bit of incorrect information around the Net about that overly expensive weapon. The extent of the confusion is a little funny, really. We live in a nation of mad civilian and REMF experts on everything combat.

But what about pointed sticks?!
