Low tide ...

[mc5aw]

The Mighty Susquehanna has been victim to drilling company water vampires draining its precious content every day and night for quite some time. Well, the level got so low recently that the river bottom was exposed ... Not surprisingly, evidence of countless boating accidents was visible everywhere.

The sad thing is that it's a real photo of real guns that were really destroyed.

 

[THE PILGRIM]

Me too. I would start collecting grips.

 

[SC_Mike]

I bet you could clean and lube that AK and it would fire. Of course, I'm not pulling the trigger.

Those guns could have come form a police dumping ground.

Over in Louisiana, as early as the 1900s, New Orleans deputies routinely got rid of confiscated guns by dumping them in Lake Pontchartrain. A large cache was discovered around 2008.

I have read that other law enforcement agencies in other states would break guns apart and use local lakes and waterways as dumping grounds.

The practice was stopped in the late 50s early 60s.

So what exactly is the story behind that? Obviously those were exposed to water and obviously they have been destroyed. Sad that musket on the left was destroyed. Truly sad when the anti-gun fear includes historical weapons that are no longer viable.

Not only that....

B-O-A-T-I-N-G A-C-C-I-D-E-N-T-S

TRAGIC boating accidents....

I wonder if any parts could be gleaned from that pitiful pile of junk?

 

[shouldazagged]

Oh, the humanity!

Wait...that was something to do with turkeys.

Never mind.

 

[loknload]

Oh my! Such a tragedy!
Why, why I'm mortified!

It was a full auto single shot assault rifle.

Shame on it.

The river will fill after the rains.

Purple Rain. Some song.

Spring rains. Will melt the stuff that has labworm and crew buried.

Stupidity reigns. Oops, no slamming burro crats.

I have been told by people that know that the deputies in our county carry confiscated firearms home with them.

While working on a construction site for a new courthouse being built next to the police dept. in late sixties, we had police bring boxes of guns several times to be enshrined in the footings, nestled down into the re-bar, during a concrete pour.

These were the real junk they had confiscated, and it was well known that unclaimed guns of quality, were taken by the police after a given time; for personal use.

This was prior to 68' G C A.

 

[islamoradamark]

that boat that was in the accident did not have enough life preservers

 

[vigil617]

The horror......the horror.....

I had to avert my eyes after I spotted a diamond Magna lying lifelessly there, face up in the sun, never to be grasped again.....

Sure sign that I don't want to get in a boat with some of you boys.
