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.

Don’t let Baldy play with it——it might yet be loaded. Then don’t let it dry out.
They likely never find that.
Pity that the grip is cracked...
No biggie. Send it to the Youtube weapons restoration expert. :)
You mean Proto-Ordnance?
Loved his series on restoring a rusty 1911.
It looks like a sculpted turd.
Solid proof that a wheel gun can jam.
Break out the metal detectors and the magnets it looks like they’re paying prime rates for gun steel these days.
It would have scared a woke snowflake into hysteria.
One of the most dangerous guns I have ever seen! Guaranteed to give a victim (or user) a fatal case of lockjaw followed by death in minutes without even being fired!!!
It looks like it might be a cap gun, more Saturday Morning than Saturday Night.
Tidy it up for Alec and leave the barrel plugged.
I’ve seen some videos by some guy that could turn that rusted out relic into an almost new firearm.........
lol
That’s an 1880s “American Bull Dog,” .38 cal rim fire. I have one just like it great shape. .38 rim fire ammo hasn’t been available for over 90 years.
“Owl-head” grip is Iver Johnson.
Oops. A better peek shows it’s not an “Owl-head” grip.
A lot of those small late 1800’s revolvers were actually made and rebranded by Iver Johnson. They were actually quite well made and innovative. Gaston Glock did not invent the trigger safety. Iver Johnson did, and he patented it.

You are correct, I wasn’t.
I have an 1894 Iver Johnson with owls head grips and the rusted gun in this article isn't an Iver Johnson.
