Omnibus Stupid MFers in the news thread (Part 2)

Possession of stolen guns is pretty common and doesn’t always indicate bad judgement.

Possession of meth is always a sign of bad judgement. After that excellent decision-making, driving like you’re high on meth is just a baby step up from there.

I have shirts with those last two slogans!

And then the punfest starts…

As long as it’s not the funpest sharts.

Yeah, Pakistan is being pretty fucking stupid right now.

At the very least, the timing is unfortunate for them.

Maybe Pakistan thinks it’s a low-cost way to weight the US scales against bombing them, too?

You have shirts with these slogans?

They seem to be a bit wordy for T-shirts.

I believe that was in reference to these:

Correct.

If only they waited a day.

Wearing a hoodie during a heat advisory is a great way to draw attention to yourself.

One of the officers advised that one of the subjects appeared to be concealing something in his hooded sweatshirt pocket.

Officers found a gun which appeared to have a switch on the back plate. The firearm also had an extended magazine with a drum, police said.

According to police, the firearm had two different serial numbers, the serial number on the slide did not match the serial number on the frame.

A check by KanComm dispatch found the slide was reported stolen out of Iberia Parrish, Louisiana, and the frame was reported stolen out of Houston, Texas.

So shouldn’t that technically be two stolen gun charges? The gun was the result of two different thefts after all.

(Interestingly enough, the article doesn’t seem to mention a problem with the gun being stolen at all, just the fact that he had a firearm at all as a felon was the result of charges.)

Not really. Hang around teenagers for any amount of time, and you’ll quickly realize that most of them have no concept of dressing appropriate for the temperature. Students in heavy sweatshirts complaining that it’s too hot is commonplace.

Two theft charges, maybe, but legally, there’s usually one specific part to a gun (IIRC, the receiver) that’s considered “the gun”. This gets around problems like a person who’s not allowed to buy a gun buying all of the parts and assembling it themself: They can buy all the parts but the receiver, but without that, the gun won’t work.

Technically, AIUI, the frame is the firearm, the slide is just a part.

Now I’m curious, are there any other parts of a gun that has a serial number?

In my 9mm, the barrel (the part with the rifling, separate from the frame) has a serial number.

In my non-ATF opinion, the barrel is all that counts to law enforcement, as that is the part that identifies the gun from ballistics. They are interchangeable, after all.

Any part of any machine can have a serial number. They can be useful for the manufacturer, and sometimes for the consumer. I don’t think the others are required by law, though.

I’m in my 40s and you’ll see me wearing a black hoodie nearly 100% of the time. Even when it’s 90 degrees out, it’s still freezing cold where I work.

But the article doesn’t say, or even suggest, that the police stopped them for wearing sweatshirts and there’s no mention at all of the weather. It only says they were “part of a group of young men and boys wearing face masks” and one of the officers noticed the kid in question appeared to be hiding something in his sweatshirt pocket.

I’m not saying that’s not how it played out, but I’m not getting that from the article.

I found it curious there was a serial number on the slide at all.
