New gun kills flies with high-powered blast of SALT.

These girls may look as though they are going paintballing - but they are actually gearing up to kill flies with a revolutionary new salt gun.

The Bug-A-Salt is an air-powered rifle that blasts a pinch of normal table salt at such high velocity that it is lethal to all manner of creepy-crawlies, including house flies, bluebottles, moths and even spiders.
Unlike conventional fly swatters, which often leave smears of dead fly after they have been squashed, the makers claim that the only clean-up this remarkable device needs is a quick brush.

The pump-action fly-killer has already been snapped up by almost 100,000 people in America, and the device is now available online in the UK, priced around £35.
The plastic shotgun uses compressed air to propel a pinch of table salt at the intended target, and holds enough salt for 50 shots before reloading.

A spokesperson for the company said: "This is a completely safe way to take out an annoying bug.

"Because it uses ordinary granulated table salt, it would never break the skin on even the smallest child - although we do not recommend firing it at people.
"If you've got half-decent aim, you can take out a fly from more than three feet away. It's an extremely effective method of killing pesky mosquitoes and moths as well."

Other Parents: Dad Left 11-year-old Daughter Home Alone With Loaded Gun While He Got Head Tattoo

OTHER Parents presents John Ruiz, 41, who left his 11-year-old daughter home alone with a loaded weapon while he nipped out to get a head tattoo.

Some one spotted the child with the pistol as she leaned out of a window at the family’s home in northeast Albuquerque. They called the police, who arrested dad.

Ruiz said he leaves the loaded pistol with th echild in case anyone breaks in while he’s out. It’s a foolproof plan. But in case she thinks about walking about outside with the loaded gun, he issues her with strict instructions not to. But she has disobeyed him in the past. Kids, eh. What can you do?

Police duly charge Ruiz with endangering a child’s life or health. The girl is still in his custody and the Children, Youth and Families Department is investigating the case.

As for the ink, we can’t read the tattoo on his head, but it’s most likely a reference to his nickname: DICK.
