From the blogpost:

Wyff4.com reports that a thief fired shots at a business using a squash as a suppressor. He then threw a cinder block through the window and stole lottery tickets.

… deputies say they saw someone walk up to the building and fire two shots from a gun that had a squash on the end of it.

Seems this guy has gone out of his way to break as many laws as possible, including manufacturing a suppressor illegally.


Ok, the ATF better start adding assault vegetables to the list.

In other news, farmers are protesting a new $200 federal tax for each squash that they grow.

Potato farmers are getting a little anxious.  They're eyeing the gourd farmers moving in on their turf.

Is this genius actually being charged with use/possession of an illegal suppressor?

18 U.S.C. 921 (a)(24):

"The terms 'firearm silencer' and 'firearm muffler' mean any device for silencing, muffling, or dimishing the report of a portable firearm, including any combination of parts, designed or redesigned, and intended for use in assembling or fabricating a firearm silencer or firearm muffler, and any parts intended only for use in such assembly or fabrication."

Not sure that a squash would fit into the definition of a, "device," but I guess the Prosecution would bear the burden of establishing that a garden vegetable, used in this manner, falls under the definition of a, "device."

I would argue that once it was modified to a form other than it's original intended use [ food ] it became a "device". Therefore subject to the statute.  :D
