New Pistol honors US Congress

[gvbcraig]

Ruger is coming out with a new pistol in honor of US Senators and Representatives:

It will be named, "The Congressman"...

It doesn't work and you can't fire it.

I wonder what functions will be left out of the other model they are working on.... "The President"

Yet another joke ripped off from the British.

Hey, if we can't take things from our cousins, who can we take them from?

We've milked Monty Python dry, why not this

Sorry, they are no cousins of mine.

Right then, for those that do not know, the British SA80 (a bullpup AR-18) was nicknamed the "civil servant" as it would not work and you could not fire it.

Well at least give me some credit for "the President"....I know it is still in development, it is hard to incorporate a golf swing and teleprompter into a hand gun. I was hoping others would give their suggestions so Ruger can release it prior to next November.

The new "President" model will feature a lanyard enabling you to hang it from a tree. Other than that, same as the "congressman" model...

I'm thinking that the "President" model will shoot the owner in the arse, steal their wallet, and when you REALLY need it, instead of firing, it will just replay speeches for your listening pleasure, telling you about its "bad luck" and insisting that you pay it more money.

Oh, and the owner's manual will have 50 pages on why all problems with this "President" model, can be blamed on other prior models of other weapons...

 

[ArmedProgrammer]

Oh - and Kirk - just so I can use up my entire repertoire of British jokes (Monty Python excluded).... will Lucas make the "President" model as well??? (From an old British car joke...)

I have a feeling it will probably spend all your money on vacations.
