Ghost Hammers

A bunch of good suggestions in the comment regarding the unregistered purchases of hammers by the mentally ill:

  • Hammers should have serial numbers and be controlled
  • You should need three forms of ID to buy a hammer
  • you really should have a background check before you are allowed to buy a hammer. Fingerprints and a DNA sample should go to the Feds for every hammer sale
  • What Illinois needs to do is create an H.O.I.D. card so that we know when people buy a hammer they have been trained and the hammer is registered

All good suggestions....but they don't address the most concerning aspect of this entire class of weapons:

  • Ghost Hammers

Did you know that you can actually build your own hammer? Without any sort of government oversight? And then you can sell these blunt instruments on the street....for profit....and without any sort of background checks? 

Look at some of these we found on-line:





You can tell some of them were recovered at crime scenes because there's a evidentiary ruler in the picture so as to document the barrel, handle length and caliber of the hammer. 

And according to fbi statistics, hammers are used in far more homicides that "assault rifles"

Are they 3D printing hammers yet? There ought to be a law about that.

You forgot,

You need to register the Hammer.
You need to take training with the Hammer each year.
You need to conceal the Hammer.
You need to secure the Hammer in a lock box or safe.
Silly right?

That would be true, but then look over here what our public schools are doing they will not be downgraded. If this kids don’t attend. They will still be rated good even though they’re total garbage total garbage disposal that idiot send their kids to.

Schools won’t be downgraded for ‘chronic absenteeism’

I believe if you look at the stats for weapons used in murders, you will find blunt objects, like hammers, used more than those evil assault rifles.

I read that also ridiculous and we could save literally billions of dollars closing some of the schools so many are under utilized. They could easily be combined by wasting taxpayers money is what Democrats do to buy the votes. If this was any other business, Brandon and his crew of school have been thrown out years ago.

And DEAD BLOW hammers should be in a special classification.
Dead blow hammers have a cavity in the head about one-third full of lead shot that strikes just after impact, magnifying the blow and reducing hand fatigue.
A most terrible weapon.

There should also be a form to fill out before the background check for all hammer purchases. Do you suffer from mental illness? Do you use Drugs? Have you been charged with domestic assault including misdemeanors? This simple questionnaire could reduce hammer murders to almost Zero.

Hammers should have a rigid handle at least 18 inches in length and fixed so that it cant be collapsed or folded. It is far to easy to conceal a hammer with a collapsable handle.

Ban 3D printing of hammers? Sounds sarcastic, but actually close to the truth. The progressives who always claim defend democracy (only against Republicans but never from communists and criminals) have legislated in a few states to mandate 3D printer software to detect and block the manufacturing of gun and gun related parts.

I was expecting to see pictures of the "other" hammers that should be better controlled. I believe those are better known on the street as "gavels" and they do far more damage to society than any claw or ball-peen hammer EVER has.

As humorous as this is some moronic demorat (that's an oxy moron) will cut & paste & pass this off as potential new legislation.

It will garner widespread Demoratic support & no one except for the fine people/folk who read this blog will know where it got the background for the new law

I'm told that the bureau of Alcohol Tobacco Firearms & Explosives is adding hammers to their title they will now be known as H.A.T.F.&E. They have already stopped incoming sledge, dead blow & jack hammers from coming in from overseas. You will need a Federal permit for any hammer larger than 24 ounces & ANY hammer that can be modified to include the fully automatic switches to the handle.

They are currently enacting legislation in Springfield that will restrict hammers to only licensed carpenters. Those carpenters will be required to keep them locked up during non-work hours. Anyone caught with a hammer without a permit will be charged with UUH. Governor Pretzleburger (Fat ass) has declared his intentions to sign it immediately. He claims that it will make the children safer, and blamed Trump for just anyone being able to buy a hammer.
