Hilarity Ensues After Toronto Police Post Image of Totally Deteriorated Gun They Took 'off the Streets'

In a recent example of Trudeau’s historic effort to deny Canadians the equivalence of the Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United States, the @TPSGunsSeized Twitter account, which is described as the “official Toronto Police account for all guns seized,” tweeted an image of a recent seizure, along with #offthestreets this week: 

As you might imagine, this one pretty much writes itself from this point forward.

In responses I assume came mostly from gun rights advocates, the Twittersphere thoroughly mocked the efforts of Toronto’s finest. In fairness, perhaps a diligent Canadian came across the encrusted handgun and rather than ignore it or throw it away, decided to take it to the local police department. Fine. But, by tweeting an image of the pathetic thing as some sort of evidence of a victory over guns on the streets, Toronto police made Barney Fife look like Eliot Ness, the famed nemesis of the notorious gangster, Al Capone.

Toronto's finest seem a little too eager to be JBTs.

Pity that the grip is cracked...

That looks more like a Saturday Night Live Special.

Apparently someone took “lost all my guns in a tragic boating accident” literally.

Obviously a deadly assault pistol.

The Smithsonian is looking for that.

Certainly looks like it has been laying in some street for a long time.

Is that what they meant by “off the streets”?

Stuff is just lying around to be picked up?

Some 1920’s gangster got in a scuffle and lost his Roscoe!

Is that a picture of one of those AR47s that liberals are always talking about?

Even worse, an AK15

A little pressure washing and some Ballistol and that sucker would be good as new!

I think that gun originated in the Rust Bucket.

Similar to several years ago the UK police had a collection of the edged weapons they collected. One was a spoon.

People magnet fishing find old junk like that frequently. If they can’t see the serial numbers, they just junk the guns. If they can see them, then they turn them in, where I’m sure most departments scrap them.

Alec Baldwin could accidentally kill someone with that.
