Can we please just stop letting people that know nothing about guns make rules about guns?

That would be a great start!

ok but, it shows you only get one shot.

Normally theres more than 1 shot in a police shoot out. You telling me cops are turning their pistols into bolt action firing speeds now with having to manually fix another stopper to the front and possibly risk blowing their own finger off in a panic confrontation.

Wonder if these guys did practical application with this in a non controlled environment. I am sure someone's tax dollars are justified here....


What if!!! what if the cop misses with his first clown shot and then follow up failure drill connects? Do these people have oversight committees?

Play with the clown get the sad trombone music.

Does it honk if you squeeze the ball?

Oh wait i just realized, this is for canada.

Toronto police exploring ‘clown guns’ for officers

Less-than-lethal weapons options include a bullet-slowing device known as a “clown gun.”

who cares.....
Finishing that report in 2015, not even canada wanted it nor did any US police force.

Better than a rusty trombone.

Great name. I think that they got the velocity wrong. They said it "slows the bullet down by 20%". That would turn 124 gn +P going at 1175 FPS to 940 fps. A 124 gn bullet going 940 fps will really kill you. Why would a heavier aluminum ball with a bullet in it not kill you at 940 fps?

We got LEOs out there that are failing the "Is it my gun or is it my Tazer?" challenge.

You really think they can handle Jimmy Slips?

That reminds me of a joke:
3 coworkers were discussing the trouble they got into after a night of heavy drinking.

The first said his wife was furious and packed up the kids and left him.

The second said he got a DUI and spent the night in jail.

The third said he blew bubbles.

The other 2 said that was nothing compared to what they went through.

The third replied, "you don't get it. Bubbles is my dog".

Wonk wonk.

Isn't Jimmy Slips a lawyer in partnership with Amos Falls?

The old saying still holds true… "every dog has his day".

Tried to find a meme that said "Stomper is on Fire".

Not what I expected.

There's cops out there who can't decipher the difference between a taser and a Glock and now you gunna lay this $hit on them?!?! Haha. I'd love to see someone try to assemble and deploy this under stress when they already struggle with the tools on their duty belt. But I guess if it's "woke"..... focus on training with, not disabling, the tools you already have.
