From having a PM that wanted to wipe out Russia at the end of WWII to this shite in 80 years


So? NYC had thousands of NYers killed by Islamic terrorists less than 30 years ago and just elected a jihadist as mayor.

Guns have been heavily restricted in Britain long before WW2


1980's any pub in Winchester might have had fully functional (sometimes loaded) single-action revolvers and old mil-surp rifles hanging on the wall behind the bar. Britains did have their own kind of gun culture before letting pants-shitting cowards take over.

As long as they don't look in the door pockets of my truck, glove box, center console, and under the seat, and tool box, and hell probably bed of the truck too. Shyt the last time i cleaned my truck the shopvac had a number of .22 rounds... i had to fish out.

They would freak out if they looked in the floor board of my 98 z71 farm truck.

Mostly a bunch of green tips for hogs, probably a couple loaded magazines and a few busted boxes of bird shot.

They would call it an arsenal.

didn’t read the article but hopefully it was at least like a 50 cal or something super large.


Pic appears to be a .303 British round. Standard round for the Lee Enfield standard issue bolt action rifle used by British infantry

That's how quickly an entire country can be come weak beyond help.
We always talk about how the Brits can't win back their independence because they have given up their guns......We now know that even if given guns there aren't many left that would have the balls to use them.
If they're that terrified of an old round found laying around then the indoctrination is complete and far reaching.

Here a country boy walks over pick
I'm thinking that between the American Revolution and WWII, all the British males with any testicular fortitude, were killed off. What was left, reproduced and gave us the Britain we know today.

You guys forget: couple years back someone discovered an old 22 long rifle round laying on a sidewalk in a london suburb. By the reaction you would have thought someone had dug up an unexploded V2 warhead. Police cordons and a bomb squad. Sheesh.
