Potato Guns, scourge of the West

[ via Flutterby ] From the they-are-going-to-make-a-Libertarian-of-me-yet department, a San Diego undersherif turned legislator introduced a bill to ban spud cannons.

The former San Diego County undersheriff has introduced legislation that would classify the homemade guns as destructive devices — the same category reserved for bombs and grenades. Possession would be a felony, punishable by up to 15 years in prison.

What happens if you’re pulled over on the way from the store and you have bought Pringles, potatoes, and lighter fluid? Yeah, right, you’re going to a BBQ. Step out of the car, sir.
