[size=18]Good uplifting story in today's local paper.
Some fool tries to rob an undercover cop in a gun buy sting operation in Brooklyn and gets blasted. That Davis POS that the bad guy had would probably have worked better if used to hit someone with it, rather than trying to shoot it. Notice in the article, they mention the gun probably came from Georgia. To me that fact is about as relevant as saying the bad guy probably came from Puerto Rico.

Excellent article. I have a residence in Georgia and agree that the mention of the state has no relevance; at least, to you and I, both.

It's always interesting the totally irrelevant crap reporters will include in an article like that. If you have some facts report them, but to speculate on the origin of the weapon is just pointless.

hell, the Davis was made in California. you'd think that would be of interest too.

These cheap crap guns are like jap bikes, in a few years they will probably be recycled into Pepsi cans.

Or recycled into something! :)

Indeed. I used to remark how we would see many times some jap bike abandoned and mangled in a vacant lot in the Bronx years back. Banged up and left all over the neighborhood, and eventually scooped up by a bulldozer clearing the lots and dumped into the back of sanitation trucks with the rest of junk people dumped in the lot. But we never saw Harleys abandoned and discarded like trash in the weeds. Those jap bikes are probably soda cans and pie tins now. They were disposable crap even when new.
I never saw something like this banged up and discarded like used up trash in a vacant lot because we knew how to make durable machines in this country. this one is 44 years old.
