  For some reason this picture make me happy. I would also be a great photo for the cover art of an album named 'Throwing Guns Into the Sea'. Already sounds groovy. Maybe Fleet Foxes-esque freak folk tinged with sea shanties.

  I am guessing this is related to this 1912 New York times article about the NYC Police throwing $12,000 worth of confiscated weapons into the sea. query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?_r=1&res=940DE...

  "I am guessing this is related to this 1912 New York times article about the NYC Police throwing $12,000 worth of confiscated weapons into the sea." Good find! And look how much it has helped New Yorkers be safe!
