Karl Denninger has been showing this image for a while
But he's a big 'borrower' from ZeroHedge so he shouldn't complain about the lack of a hat tip
Let's just hope Spain doesn't try to commit suicide with it. Someone could get hurt.
Thats about the most accurate weapon I've ever seen.
Thumb operated for those who have lost their trigger finger hopefully...
Made in Poland?
...for Polish roulette?
Dimon has a pearl handled one with silver bullets.
I was thinking "Atomic" Fire Crackers...

After the 6th warning shot I expect the 7th through 12th shot will be 4 real.
This ad was showing when I first hit the link for the Obama thang on Friday...
I figured the Obama crew was pushing a different type of shovel-ready job.

(and no, this was not Photoshopped)
Great, so Spain still has a chance
Reminds me of the "New Sheriff" scene from Blazing Saddles.

"Dimon has a pearl handled one with silver bullets."
I wish he would do us all a favor and use it.
That Pic has been floating around the WEB for years. It's always been known as the "liberal-gun."
because neo-cons have it all going on baby!
issued to the polish navy
because they do such a wondeful job using sails
'Polish roulette' is actually three shotglasses: one filled with water, another with vodka, and the third with pure spirit. You choose two, you drink, you chase. We go on like this until one of us is unable to continue.
dammit, I was going to post that!
No not made in Poland ( that is terrible anway).
It is a Glocken- Spiel.....All plastic, shoots pennies, sideways.
"Made in Poland?"
No, it was designed and produced by a cartel of central bankers for widespread use by taxpayers worldwide.
I should be offended.
You're welcome.
Now you really can shoot yourself in the back of the head ...
Preferred weapon of Hank Paulson in his conversations with Congress - give us the money or else!
At least if you carry it in your waistband, you can't accidentally shoot your dick off.
When sighted in properly, its guaranteed to work.
One shot, one kill...lol.
Don't need six chambers. Should have a place to chamber one bullet only.
I don't think they're confident of success with just one...so I'll break down and put up the two fiddy for the other five...what the hell, I'm feeling generous and it's money well spent ;-)
"Don't need six chambers. Should have a place to chamber one bullet only."
Not everyone is a good shot. I don't know how many times I've read about unsuccessful suicide attempts where the person had "multiple gunshots to the head."
Family model... must be a Beretta. MADE IN ITALY
"Do you think I could hit my brain with this?"
"You'd have to be an awfully good shot".
From Hook, Line and Sinker, starring Wheeler and Woolsey, 1930
One shot, nearly killed.

Always wanted to try out a Barrett but never on iron...at eye level and flush ;-)
Alright Spain, go to the back of the line. You're set for the next 6 months, until someone "discovers" some "shocking" new debt figures that your regional governments have been hiding and it's time for another bailout.
Italy ... Come to the front of the line, please ...
I think Rand Paul just pulled that trigger.
IF YOU DON'T SUICIDE WE WILL KILL YOU INSTEAD
Karl and Tyler are both going to get sent home early from the Olympics for posting a gun photo. When did Australia go full PC pussy?
it must really be a complaint from the shooting teams that are forced to use those silly looking guns.
Might be a shame if they start censoring Crocodile Dundee by themselves.
So I guess this doesn't bode well for the Aussie BIATHLON TEAM in 2014... Right?
News Flash!!! Biathlon Team will be sent home early for posting a picture standing next to a 5' deep Doughboy...thank god they cropped out the diving board prior to posting on FacePlantBook or all hell would have broken loose.
+1 Definitely full PC Pussy
Come on, they are boys making a silly photo. Hypocrite times indeed...

"When did Australia go full PC pussy?"
The government went full retard around 97-98 (if I recall correctly) with stupid ass gun buy backs...because as we all know...it's not people who kill people...it's guns, cars, bombs, gasoline, baseball bats, knives etc.
Completely logical...lol.
Lots of common info between KD and ZH...And yet, KD and ZH have completely different thoughts about the ability of gold to protect investors from what's coming. Weird, huh?
Karl thinks the dollar will still exist and cash will be king. Gold would then be just another deflated commodity. ZH has less faith in the future of the dollar and relies on the ancient standby of gold. I would have been split between both plans except for that boating accident...
Hey Bank Guy, tell Karl 2 buy gold & let us know what happens.
Why are you threatening the poor girl in the "Meh" shirt?
With Deutsche Marks as ammo? As Germany leaves all those Euros behind on the way out the door.
Silver bullets
Let's pool our money and start sending these as gifts to the TBTF's and politicians!
barliman
"Dear diary, I'm havin' a little trouble with my mind State
How many bullets would it take to change my mind? wait"
You're assuming a politician knows how to operate a real firearm. Or knows what one looks like for that matter. They wouldn't understand what we'd be trying to say.
Lol. Similar thought. Send them all a non changeable gift voucher to redeem by end of June
same way I splained it to the wife.
Needs a barrel in the front and back. So they don't miss....
The way things are going, I wouldn't publish a picture like this as you may be getting a lot of orders, and if you can't supply, your credibility will go down the tubes :)
It's safe, they can't afford bullets
I'da used a DOUBLE BARREL... But that's just me...
Polish Revolver
I have one
That pistol is definately british. Maybe for export only.
ROTFL!!!...I was thinkin a Chinese copy...but lets run wif that!!!
Definitely a Chinese copy made by Dum Fuk Arms Co. Ltd.
were you trying to be funny??
"Guns don’t kill people; people kill people"
Fuck that.
"Guns don't kill people; bullets do"
But you have to throw them really hard.
the guns??
i think the gun powder, throwing guns & bullets is so savage.
Am selling 6 rounds X .44 magnums for a silver coin, place your order here:
"customized gold inscribed magnums available for special customers who are willing to kill bank Zombies"
Guns don't kill people, dangerous minorities do.
Family Guy
"Guns don’t kill people; people kill people"
With guns.
Take away all the guns and instead of a drive by shooting you get a punch in the nose.
Lets pretend that owning a gun was illegal in the US. It would not stop people from being shot to death, and even if some how all the guns were destroyed in the world, which is actually impossible, people would still kill other people by stabbing them, pushing them off a tall building, poisioning them, blugening them... the list goes on and on. So no, guns don't kill people. Guns are tools to kill people at range, that is all.
Let me ask you something genius. How do you suppose you take someone's gun from them, and secondly how do you keep people from owning a fire arm if they are going to break the law anyway.
All you end up with is law enforcement with most of the guns, and criminals with the rest, while the common law abiding human being is left defenseless to both parties.
Not exactly a "winning" situation.
Guns don't kill people. Stupidity, abnormallity, subhuman specimens do.
A graphic for what happens 100 years after the control of a nation's money creation and supply is handed to the worlds most vicious and ancient killers.
lol
Please make these available to all bankster's and politician's immediately.
Standared issue sidearm for ATF meat heads. Call your congressman now and lobby them for the......wait, we're gonna need about 535 more of these.
Could you add a CNBC silencer please?
The CNBC SELF SILENCER!!!
Brings new meaning to Power Lunch!!!!
LOL!!!!
I'm going to hell.
Where's the spiderman cleaning towel?! ;)
Hank the Tank...
Best I've seen from you yet, Banzai.
I really like this alot. You went more freeform conceptually. I keep looking at it and finding jokes you may not have intended, at all (but I think you did).
The Bernank shells look like, er, uh, ways to fuck us. Bunga Barrel with rear sight, plumbing pipe, g-pap-spot, it's like mutated sexual organs in a perpetual self fucking machine.
What a piece of work, like the who Euro area.
Thanks.

Sorry to rain on your parade but Spain will still be around long after the Tylers' Durden told everyone that they've just /should have killed themselves. An "unfortunate truth" for some i imagine...but i care not for i am not invested in anything Spanish save for "mere rhetoric" as all the rest of you here. Of course who in their right mind would wish for "Spanish Suicide" to begin with? The answer is of course "no one" since this has never been about "mere money" to begin with, yes, yes?
Spain will be around for a long time. But will the euro still exist in 2 years? We shall see.
And even if the euro survives, what purchasing power will it have after all the printing required to keep it together?
mommy what does that funny symbol € mean?
2020 CE
somewhere in Europe
This is like saying ghettos will still be around after the global economy implodes.
The euro will be the progressive shit stain it was designed to be. Will Spain will be around? Of course....But define "Spain", "Germany" or "Europe" for that matter. It's more than metes and bounds.
Sure, Spain is fine and dandy, that's why they are asking for 100 billion (first week) bailout money. Every country that is fine asks for some bailout money, it's perfectly sane and normal. You know, sane like in old cartoons?
Come on, FacePlant got 100 billion for a bag of empty promises. Why shouldn't spain get the same amount of money for useless rhetrorics? After all there are enough idiots on this planet who bought the first batch of useless shit.
Watch the lies from this weasel, outgoing World Bank prez, Robert Zoellick. All of his "solutions" are nothing more than bailouts for his bankster friends which will keep them in their Ferraris until the whole crooked Ponzi comes crashing down and he and his pals run off to their private islands to avoid being hanged from lamp posts:

looks effective, where can I buy this model?
Your average Spaniard would still miss.
Besides, I thought that particular model was designed for the French so that they may shoot backwards whilst running away...
For Sale: French Military Semi-automatic Rifle. Never fired. Only dropped once.
(yeah I know it's an oldy)
Primary use is for taking hostages
Could lead to lead poisoning...
Nobody moves or I'd shoot myself!
Was that the gun used in Blazing Saddles?
No, I think Dirty Harry tried using it when on himself he was depressed
"Hep me! Hep me!"
What a great idea for a Christmas gift for Blankfein, Dimon, Geithner, Bernancke, et al.
Fooled you all. That is just a starter pistol. Hint: The race ends early.
With this EFSF/ESM garbage, i sometimes wish they really could have just boycotted the Euro Championship....
Awesome. What is the wait period to buy one of these bad boys?
"bail me out or i kill myself!" cried the Spanish banker while aiming at some mom or pop over his shoulder.
we are in the lunatic fringe.
Please use quotes when you refer to our "lunatic" fringe.
“Hey, I'm no genius… hmmm… or maybe I are one.” - Homer Simpson
this gun will only shoot euros
since the ammo has no pop, this handgun is safe for EU banksters and finiMinis to pretend they are angela...
at least not with that pistol...
My gun shoots) Scandanavian " Krown (swedish /(Norway) Krona .<> North Sea/ Bundsbank bailout.
All those brent spreads are coming home to roostE. Triple Witching Friday! I can't wait to see the rebalance ( sp-500)!
that gun is looking the wrong way; its the best thingie to offer as a present to a banksta.
What's the difference between today's global finance system and a Ponzi scheme? This is the question that a 56-year-old veteran Russian financial scammer has been asking his victims.

Deja vu....why does this BS "bailout" for Spain feel just like the BS "bailout" Greece got?
So far, the "news media" is using the exact same playbook...

I got an email back which stated ‘That was interesting, and what’s even more interesting is IT’S OUR BAR!’ So let’s clarify. He (Bob Pisani) was actually holding up a bar belonging to a separate ETF, WITH NO PERMISSION FROM THEM!! To me, that tells you everything you need to know! We’ll let our readers take a moment to put 2 and 2 together:Consider the fact that the gold bar held up by Bob Pisani who was supposedly standing in the GLD’s vault is ACTUALLY OWNED BY ANOTHER ETF, ETFSecurities, and the implications considering the GLD’s prospectus allows for gold swaps, and Harvey Organ’s research incidates the GLD’s gold is swapped/rehypothecated from the Bank of England!! *Furthermore, bar# ZJ6752 has been confirmed as a bar on the EFTS’ gold bar list:
http://www.etfsecurities.com/msl/bar_list.zip
In XLS go to tab GBS Gold, then scroll to row 8706.
Can you say gold rehypothecation?
First-class research uno!
Sorry to let you down americanspirit, I just cut and paste from an article, I wish I had the time to aggressively pursue the truth. brotherjohnf and SilverDoctors both had the article. Here's another link you may enjoy from dont-trend-on.me
http://dont-tread-on.me/?p=19304
Seconded.
I love it when Pisani reveals himself as the accomplice he is.
it's been over 6 months since I had any business station on, I had muted CNBS for years and watch the Bloomberg babes for a while. Now I just leave the TV off for most days, just look at Zerohedge and a few other sites in the morning and go to work. Life is so much better without the overload of images and propaganda on TV
You can get overloaded anywhere these days my brutha. At the end of it, all that will ever matter is family and friends in this life.
"We need $100 Billion Euros because our banks are solvent and there are no problems with bank runs."
Uh-huh.
If taxpayers in Europe and the U.S. weren't getting screwed by the banksters this would be hilariously funny.
The Spaniards are not stupid, they are betrayed.
Usquequo exaltabitur inimicus meus super me ?
when I was a teen, a friend had a muzzle loader, mountain pistol, without a trigger guard on it. He loaded it up with a shitload of black powder and some shot. He shot it and when the smoke cleared, it was pointing directly back at him. lmfao
it's easy to get double-tap-suicided with this.
Uncle Sam has perfected the shooting of this handgun. The trick is to aim a little low and to the right. The bullet passes over your left shoulder and nails the guy behind you.
The keynsian pistol pic just made my day. I can't think of a more fitting image for the Spanish bailout, the US stock market, and the global economic system generally.
Russian 1895 Nagant Revolver?
The first time I ever saw that image was in Germany. It was captioned "Austrian Colt."

reminds me of William S. Burroughs shooting his wife.
j.w. grauerholzt writes:
<quote>
"[Marak said he] did not actually SEE the [1951] accident, he HEARD it, and he remembered being
told Billy had shot a piece of fruit off her head, but he has since learned that it was a drinking glass.
"He told me the reason he thought it was a piece of fruit was that he had seen Billy shoot a
grapefruit, or an orange, off of Joan's head when he knew them in South Texas. He might have seen this
trick more than once, at Kells' orchard. So when he heard the report of the gun that night, it flashed to
him that perhaps Billy was performing this trick for the people at the party.
"He then added another reminiscence. Billy was an expert shot, he said. Ted and Kells would throw
grapefruit into the air and Billy would hit them on the fly, using a pistol. The grapefruit would
explode. Ted was in the army and earned the 'expert' classification as a marksman, so he was a good
judge of Billy's talents."
I believe Marak is a credible witness, and if what he says is true, it certainly puts that famous
comment in a new light.
.....
Burroughs wrote or spoke about the shooting of Joan many times in the next forty years
before his death, and since our "mock trial" should allow at least a sampling of all possible
evidence, here is a selection of his comments on the event, in later life.
On February 7, 1954, he sent Ginsberg these lines, which were deliberately omitted (in
Burroughs' lifetime) from the 1993 collection of his letters, edited by Oliver Harris:
May yet attempt a story or some account of Joan's death. I suspect my
reluctance is not at all because I think it would be in bad taste to write about it. I
think I am afraid. Not exactly to discover unconscious intent, it's more complex,
more basic, and more horrible, as if the brain drew the bullet toward it.
Did I tell you Kells' dream the night of Joan's death? This was before he knew,
of course. I was cooking something in a pot, and he asked what I was cooking and
I said "Brains!" and opened the pot, showing what looked like "a lot of white
worms." I forgot to ask him how I looked, general atmosphere, etc.
To summarize, I pass along one of my specialized bits of wisdom, like "Always
use poultry shears to cut off fingers":
The Death of Joan Vollmer Burroughs (Grauerholz, Jan. 2002) p. 58
Never participate in active or passive role in any shooting things off of, or
near one, or knife throwing or anything similar, and, if a bystander, always try to
stop it.
I told you of a horrible nightmare and depression and anxiety I had that
whole day, so that I asked myself continually, "What in God's name is the matter
with me?" ...
One more point. The idea of shooting a glass off her head had never entered
my mind consciously, until—out of the blue, as far as I can recall—(I was very
drunk, of course), I said: "It's about time for our William Tell act. Put a glass on
your head, Joan."
Note all those precautions, as though I had to do it, like the original William
Tell. Why, instead of being so careful, not give up on the idea?
Why indeed? In my present state of mind, I am afraid to go too deep into the
matter.
I aimed carefully at six feet for the very top of the glass.
<endquote>
And then i remembered some movie I watched where the good guy was asked what he'd do if some terrorist had a hostage and was pointing a gun at the hostage. he said "shoot the hostage"
so now, having read that, if anyone did, I give you the kiwidor advice. If you're ever a hostage and someone is trying to shoot your captor, CLOSE YOUR EYES.
Same goes for using the liberal-gun. if you close your eyes, you have a chance of missing.
