Giving inmates guns, and telling them to turn them into tools and art in the machine shop. What could -possibly- go wrong?

I don’t see anything that could go wrong with THIS plan...

Some folks calls it a sling blade but I calls it a Kaiser blade.

Great. Now the prison will purchase 3 qty $3500 forges, build a $110,000 fire-resistant area for the forges to sit on, $8500 in fire extinguishers, pay for a $175,000 upgrade to the prison fire-detection system, arrange for the delivery of $250 a week in coal, spend $155,000 in scrubbing equipment for the coal fumes, $350,000 in fire insurance premiums, buy $19,000 in various woodworking tools and $4500 in forge tools, finance the hospital stays of 4-5 inmates a year who suffer 3rd degree burns in the prison hospital, and the same inmates who used to shoot each other with guns will beat the other ones brains out with their newly fabricated shovels.

That they could buy at Home Depot for $20 each.

Mmmmmmm, hmmmm.

I see dead people

[conservative98]

Good post.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Well done. Isn’t your fire insurance estimate rather high. And what about Workman’s Comp insurance? That’ll break the bank.

[jaydubya2]

...then the prison will get sued for taking jobs from union workers.

[camle]

hey! I gots an idear! let’s bring a bunch of guns into prison and let the inmates work on them....what could possibly go wrong?

[William of Barsoom]

Unacceptable.

These so-called “tools” could easily be melted down at some future time, and be re-cast into guns again!

The only way to be sure these Evil atoms and molecules comprising the deadly weapons be completely incinerated into a fine gas, and dispersed.

Perhaps NASA could shoot these materials irrevocably contaminated with Gun Karma into the sun, where they would be burned up and unrecoverable.
