The Gun Bumper: Freak Accident or Way of the Future?

Share This Post

Big news out of Washington state after a guy was discovered with a gun bumper. So, this should spark the next great weapons debate of 2018. Is this alarming or really really really cool? You decide.

A driver in Washington state pulled over to get gas only to find a small handgun stuck in his bumper.

According to Trooper Guy Gill with the Washington State Patrol, the motorist was driving his grey Honda along Interstate 5 when he saw a small black object flying through the air and felt it strike the front of his car.

Thinking nothing of the incident, the driver continued on for another 18 miles. When he stopped at the gas station, he found the handgun lodged barrel-first into his bumper.

Gill said his agency recovered the handgun and turned it over to local police in Lakewood, Washington. It’s not immediately clear where the firearm came from.

“It could have been thrown from a car, it could have been on the road and another vehicle drove over it flinging it into the air, we just don’t know,” Gill told ABC News.

So, I’m a bad news first kind of guy. Let’s go ahead and get that out of the way – the bad news is that guns are now out there just bouncing around in the streets for people to run over. Also, could that thing have fired? What a way to go that would’ve been. “What happened to Steve?” “Well, there was this gun bouncing all over the interstate….damn thing went off and now he’s lying in this casket dead as a door nail.”

(Editor’s note: what the fuck is a door nail, anyway?)

Good news? This could be the catalyst for us finally bringing Twisted Metal to life.

Who remembers this classic video game? It’s right up there with Crash Bandicoot on the all-time Playstation franchises for me. Now, keep in mind, this is coming from a dude who hasn’t owned a single console or any sort of video gaming platform since the PS1. But, still, that game was awesome.

Maybe this is just what our country needs right now – just weaponize our vehicles, maybe once a month or so, meet at the town square, and just drive around shooting at each other.

If it’s ever going to happen, now’s the time after seeing this guy’s gun bumper. Do the right thing, America. Bring Twisted Metal to our streets.
