Marvel how people can be so stupid.

They must be emotionally disturbed.

Not a particularly well thought out plan. Sounds rather impulsive and reckless.

didn’t realize they put backpacks, purses, etc through X-ray machines before they get into Capitol visitors center. Don’t know why he would think that though.

whatever that was. I cringe to think what he had planned for that hammer.

Is it becoming a syndrome now? Entitlement and destiny are part of it. This case is like a poor man's George Santos.

Only say that because it appears light weight. Was unable to capture the picture but link should work.

you can see the weight on the side of the head. It's a regular hammer.

Can't make out the brand, though.

especially due that bright yellow grip. It seems to match models of Dewalt hammers.

I was just noticing all the weight reliefs in the casting thinking who wants a light weight hammer.

That was a good guess Bum! ..

My parents dubbed it as hers since it was a lighter weight one (I think it's a Sears Craftsman). I know it has to be over 60 years old!

Have a couple of my own too that came in tool sets. They seem to last forever. I figured Dewalt since I have a cordless Dewalt drill and it has that iconic yellow color.

Standard size hammer like the one that split Paul Pelosi’s skul with ease. There is nothing toylike about it.

I don't remember what it was.

A piece of jewelry I forgot I took off? I don't think I had any thing metal related to camera attachments. Oh, hmm, maaaaybe my hotel keys?
Or it may have been so ubiquitous that it slipped my mind completely!

Of course they found, and saw what it was, and I went on my way.
