About those Glocks....
BBC News - Glock 17 9mm pistols replace Browning for UK forces
Was I the only person that noticed:
Really? 2 years to choose a pistol? And it's not like they are assessing new unproven technology here, the Glock 17 is a 30 year old design.
Jesus, it only took 3 years for the USA Light Weight Fighter program to select the F-16 as the winner, including the time to build and test fly the prototypes.
Got to love our streamlined MOD procurement process.

After a tendering process which lasted just two years from start to finish, the MoD is buying the side-arms to issue to all three services.

Champagne anyone...?

I think the case of the US gun ownership lobby is succinctly encapsulated in these interviews:
Git yer gunz! Da gubmint is a comin for uz!

But Willard, the Rorke's Drift incident happened years before the first Webley Mark VI was designed, let alone made! You don't expect creative luvvies to research the subject, do you?

Unfortunately there are many things in life for which there is no minimum level of intelligence required before you are able to partake. Just a few examples include:
Owning a gun
Driving a vehicle
Voting
and.....
...... accessing internet forums!!

.. make kids
..& let them play with guns because the government could become evil..
I'm a peacefull person but seeing those "my awesome gun" videos makes me want to grab them by the ears and yell at them.
Killing each other with an assault rifle in one hand and that ridiculous 2nd amendment in the other.
The rest of the world has stopped laughing because its so tragic.

However, I do think senior officers should be mandated to wear pith helmets.

Once they realize that, they - I hope - will mitigate their megalomania to easier find out why one can want to have a right to have a gun...

Watching that film of dumb arses is a disturbingly fascinating display of how an inanimate object can be so creatively animated in a stupid way by the dimwit tribe of the human race.
People certainly give guns a bad name. Can't possibly be the opposite.
