Sweet Jane, she carried a Smith & Wesson .32 Long Colt. She had a dream. She played her part. She was never lonely. Sweet sweet Jane. She'd never break it.
Heavenly roses, they whisper to her. When she smiled la la la la, la la la

.... In Canada .... To obtain a gun or ammunition, requires a licence under the Firearms Act. All applicants must undergo a screening process, successfully complete a safety coarse, criminal background check, provide personal references and observe a mandatory minimum 28 day waiting period. Licences must be renewed every five years. Handguns are legal, but Canadian law prohibits military-grade assault weapons, such as AK-47's and sawn-off rifles or shotguns ---- In the United States .... A background check is conducted only for store purchases, where buyers fill out a form from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms & Explosives. The store calls the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) which runs a check through the National Instant Criminal Background Check System in just a few minutes. California has the strictest gun laws, has a 10 day waiting period and a written safety test -- as well as limits on assault weapons and large capacity ammunition ....

Presenting my LEGO® revolver!
Looking for a new type of firearm to replicate last year, I decided to try building a ‘working’ revolver which would feature a rotating cylinder with six distinct chambers, an opening ‘gate’ for unloading the handgun, and a moving hammer for ’cocking’ the model. The fragile, light gray prototype ended up sitting on my shelf for around 6-8 months; last week, I was inspired to rebuild the frame in black and discovered a better way of replicating the cylinder assembly. I then strengthened the frame and refined the grip and trigger guard to finish the replica.
[Technical Data: O/A Dimensions: 10.8” long, 1.5” wide, 6” high (top of front sight to bottom of grip loop). Completion Date: July 11, 2012. Total Weight: 0.38 lbs.]
Thanks for looking!

This guy wanted to be locked up. He showed up in his Levi's 501s. I put him in a locking grip belt to keep the Levi's on. Then took a peerless harness restraint which is a waist chain with cuffs at the side, and attached leg irons. The leg irons wouldn't fit comfortably around his ankles so I took some Smith and Wesson leg irons, locked them on and took the attached peerless leg irons, looped them around the leg irons locked on and then locked the peerless leg irons to the waist chain. This prevented the waist chain from being lifted over his head. The waist chain was locked on with a high security American lock. I gave him the camera and told him to try and escape. He didn't succeed.

White Cliffs, the original Wesson Estate, was built in 1886 by Daniel Wesson, Smith and Wesson Firearms Magnate, for his wife, Cynthia.
The mansion served as the Wesson's Summer home for eighteen years. Originally built on a sprawling hundred acres with thirty-two rooms and seventeen fireplaces; today, White Cliffs is one of the area's premier function facilities.
According to the company's website:
"Born on May 18, 1825 in Worcester, Massachusetts, Daniel Wesson was one of ten children born to Mr. and Mrs. Rufus Wesson. At age 18, he was apprenticed by his father to Daniel's two older brothers who ran a shoe manufacturing company in Worcester. Daniel later bought out of his apprenticeship to join another brother, Edwin, who owned a small firearms factory in Northborough, not far from the present White Cliffs. It was at this time that he met Miss Cynthia Hawes, whom he would eventually marry.
In 1847, the factory was moved to Hartford, Connecticut. Daniel and Cynthia eloped and made 37 Pleasant Street in Hartford their home. Daniel continued to work for his brother as a journeyman gunsmith until Edwin's death in 1849.
In 1852, Daniel met Horace Smith. They formed a partnership in 1853 and began the first Smith and Wesson factory. In 1857, the factory was moved to Springfield, Massachusetts and Wesson patented the famed repeating action cartridge revolver.
With the outbreak of the Civil War, Daniel Wesson's business reached new heights. He then began to sell his arms to the rest of the world and become one of the wealthiest industrialists in the United States.
At Cynthia Wesson's request, Daniel purchased a large estate in Northborough in 1886 and built a magnificent home across the street from his mother-in-law's modest dwelling. White Cliffs was said to have cost three hundred thousand dollars to build. Skilled craftsmen from Italy were employed to work on the imported tropical woods and marbles used in the mansion. Each room was of a different design with the furniture made from the same wood used in the room. Wesson's inventive nature was involved in the construction of an aqueduct and pumping station which supplied hot and cold running water to every bedroom in the mansion.
The Wessons traveled from Springfield to White Cliffs in May of each year by horse and buggy with their grandchildren. They spent the Summer months in Northborough, returning to Springfield in October.
In 1906, after fifty-nine years of marriage, Daniel and Cynthia Wesson died within two weeks of each other. White Cliffs was left to their children, who sold it in 1910. There have been several owners over the years. Today, White Cliffs is the epitome of Victorian grandeur and as a premier function facility, is host to numerous social and corporate events year-round"

This is basically the photo I was trying to get, and the rest are "extras." Trying to keep a long story short I'll tell ya that for over a year I've been intending to make a youtube video overview of my gun collection for a friend in Pennsylvania. Fiiiinally i got around to doing it, thanks to Spring Cleaning giving me a spotless pristine kitchen floor :)
Here is a link to the first segment of a three part video (The other two segments are easy to find once you've watched the first) for a total of just under a half hour of me talking about each of these guns:
