Good one! Wouldn't the elderly tend to have older (more collectable) guns?!

Doesn't say anywhere, Pillar of Shame / Maybe calling it that helps the anti's
Ed, I gave my post that title; it's not the title of the "art'. I thought it was a shame to destroy possibly interesting collectibles. I was thinking in terms of that old post about an extremely nice Luger about to be chopped up in Great Britain. That shame was known/documented. This one is mysterious, due to the concrete treatment. But I'll bet there are some formerly decent guns in there.
