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.

Might make a fair club.
It looks “heavier than 10 moving boxes” like Maxine Waters says!
Gun buy-back?
The fearsome firearm, which is nicknamed “Trusty Rusty”, has spent the last several years (at least) chilling out at the bottom of Lake Ontario.
Ch-Ch-Ch Chia!
That little H&R will buff out nicely.....
No barnacles?
They tried to reach John Dillinger to see if this was his weapon.
Mr Dillinger didn’t return calls.
With a little Hoppes #9 it will look like new.
“Alec Baldwin could accidentally kill someone with that.“
Even with the gun pointed backwards!
Surprised the reporter didn’t tag the gun as a dangerous assault weapon
A dab of Hoppe’s 9 and we’re good.
You beat me to it!
There are no barnacles visible - so the firearm must be fully functional...

Looks like a S&W Police Chief Special. I own one that is in much better shape.
Looks like the gun they recovered in “Badge of the Assassins” that had been buried under a fence post for several years.
“Alec Baldwin could accidentally kill someone with that.”
Looking at the picture, I don’t thing anyone has checked to see if it is loaded.
A little pressure washing and some Ballistol and that sucker would be good as new!

Yup... if it can be done with a boat engine, I’m sure it can be done to a handgun.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9mTWic4qgm4
Could be from a villager, who owned Dillinger’s derringer.
Seen multiple videos on tube that shows complete r restoration of old guns to firing condition. Really amazing stuff. Truly amazed at the Lugar he restored.
