Sen. Scott calls for investigation into World Health Organization
Forwarded from Interesting Firearms
The Downsizer Corp in Santee, CA made and delivered a handful of its WSP models for a few years before SB15 became law and production stopped for good. I believe fewer than 100 pistols were delivered up to that point. Whatever the exact number was, it wasโt very large.
The WSP model received lots of positive reviews after they were introduced at the SHOT Show (1998, I think). There is a very detailed article by Robert Hausman in HANDGUNS 2001.

Calibers 45 ACP, 357 Magnum (Also fires 38 Special), 9mm & 40 S&W
Capacity Single Shot
Trigger Double action only
Action Tip up barrel, push button release
Materials Stainless steel, CNC machined
Sights None, smooth snag free top
Safety Internal firing pin block
Overall Length 3.25โณ (Smaller than a playing card)
Barrel Length 2.10โณ
Height 2.25โณ (Smaller than a playing card)
Thickness 0.90โณ
Weight 11 oz.

The 15,000 TEU container ship Milano Bridge allided with an STS gantry crane at the port of Busan. The crane collapsed, dropping its boom onto the Milano Bridge's stern. Four other cranes were pushed off of their tracks and temporarily taken out of commission, according to Dong-A Ilbo. The collapsed crane's driver injured his ankle while attempting to escape the accident, according to Korean media, and he was taken to a hospital for treatment. Video from the scene shows the boom draped across the container ship's empty starboard quarter as she heads away from the dock. An investigation into the cause of the accident is currently under way. The 2018-built Milano Bridge is owned and operated by Japanese shipowner K Line as part of the Japanese ocean carrier consortium ONE.

A reporter with a Chinese news outlet has been accused of attending a White House coronavirus press briefing to push propaganda about the communist regime sending aid to the US. Republicans politicians are claiming a reporter with Hong Kong-based Phoenix TV infiltrated President Trump's briefing in order to promote Beijing's spin on the virus. Footage from the coronavirus task force press conference showed the woman ask Trump if he was 'co-operating with China' after she listed medical supplies the country had sent to the US. The president responded by asking: 'Who are you working for, China? Do you work for China? Or are you with a newspaper? Who are you with?'

Police officers in Louisiana blasted the alarm sound from The Purge to alert residents that a 9pm coronavirus curfew was beginning. The siren from the 2013 thriller movie was blasted out of police cars as they patrolled the streets of Crowley, Louisiana, to tell locals that they can't leave their homes until 6am the next morning. In the film a siren which sounds exactly like the one used by the Louisiana officers signals the start of 'the purge', a night during which all crime is legal for 12 hours.
Drone footage shows inmates in hazmat suits digging graves on NYC's Hart Island suggesting that coronavirus victims could already be being temporarily buried there, as morgues across the city continue to overflow and the death toll ticks up. Drone footage taken on Thursday - which is the day bodies are buried there every week - by The Hart Island Project shows inmates in hazmat suits digging graves on the island, possibly for victims of the virus which has claimed more than 3,400 lives across New York City and sickened more than 72,000. Ordinarily prisoners are seen digging in their prison uniforms. Mayor Bill de Blasio did not confirm whether burials for coronavirus victims had been or would take place there but told reporters Monday: 'We may well be dealing with temporary burials so we can then deal with each family later.
