Muammar Gaddafi 'killed with his own golden gun'
http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/world/gaddafi-killed-with-his-own-golden-gun/story-e6frf7lf-1226174076456

MUAMMAR Gaddafi was killed with his favorite golden pistol, a witness said, as Libya's new rulers argued over what do with the former dictator's remains and a key henchman appeared to escape.

Gaddafi was carrying the golden pistol when he was captured by Transitional National Council (TNC) fighters in a sewage pipe outside his hometown of Sirte on Thursday, following a NATO airstrike on his convoy, an official told The (London) Times.

"Gaddafi was first captured by rebels from the east," the source said. "Then the Misrata group showed up to take him. The eastern rebels didn't like this and the soldier pulled Gaddafi's golden gun and shot him, telling the Misrata guys, 'You can have him now'."

The source hailed the young man who killed Gaddafi a "Libyan hero," adding, "We know who killed him. He's a Libyan citizen, so we'll protect him. He was under-age, so he can't go to court anyway."

1. Gramma said...you're more likely to be hurt by your own gun
I'm not endorsing gramma's meme as true, just saying it certainly came to mind.

3. Hopefully that fine firearm will show up in a museum, it is a piece of history.

5. It will disappear
just like most other historic weapons. The Derringer pistol that killed Lincoln was missing for years.

6. As noted...good chance your gun will be taken away an used against you.

Of course, an airstrike or 2 can be dangerous also.

If Obama was W., he'd want one as a souvinor.

7. Maybe Brady should change their story?
"If you are an evil dictator for 40 years, your people have risen up against you and you are the target of NATO airstrikes for 6 months, your gun may be taken and used against you".

Nah, doesn't quite have the same ring to it.

8. Is a bit busy...how about...
"Evil people with guns in their sewage drains are more likely to suffer a gun related death then evil people without guns in their sewer drains."

Hmmm...still too busy...

"Only the government and police should have guns (unless the government and police are run by an evil tyrant)"

Naa...

We'll just go with

"Bombs and guns can get you killed.".

11. As usual, nothing to do with the forum just a rip and post
He's feeling left out lately and needed to see his name in print a lot so he does the usual file dump and combs the web for anything that includes "guns" in the post.

Based on this set, he didn't even bother to read through them first and made an ass of himself again.

His favorites seem to be stories where nothing actually happened and in many posts no one was even arrested.

13. Hey if anything, it does show the importance of the people always being armed
with long arms and handguns they supply themselves. Can't always count on an evil tyrant coughing up theirs!

12. I'm usually not a fan of blinged out firearms...
but that one actually looks nicely done compared to some of the other gaudy crap seized from other tyrants and drug lords.
