I understand your fears, my wife and me discuss it now and then. I keep my shotguns and rifles and a couple handguns in a safe and one in a safe place that we can reach quickly if the need arises. Still, I wonder if I'm doing the right thing.

This angers me. Going to ruin a nice collectible revolver by deactivating them.

Ungrateful assholes. Accept the gift, thank Erdogan, and announce that it’s a collectible item and will be stored safely and not shot like any collectible firearm

Trump needs to post a video on social media shooting the revolver, preferably at a cardboard cutout of the Ayatollah

Canadian gun laws baffle me. Out in the Albertan bear country the open carry of large caliber handguns is beyond commonplace. They call 'em bear medicine. Is it province by province? That sounds out of character for the authoritarian Canadian city folk.

They need to put their finger on the trigger and look down the barrell to make sure it's clean.

Trump should definitely take it to a range and get some practice alongside his SS detail. I cant believe the figs like Starmer that would render them inoperable.

Is Erdogan the board’s newest favorite autocrat?
He’s certainly slimey enough to qualify.

Imagine how refreshing it would have been if just one of these leaders said ‘thank you, looking forward to shooting it’.

Don't worry, he'll never hold a candle to the totalitarian nightmare we endured under Queen Barry of the Bathhouse.

That softness is why they're allowing themselves to be overrun by an incompatible culture. At this rate, eventually many of the EU countries will be predominantly Islamic within the next 50 years.

The gifts included live ammunition (typically six rounds, though British Prime Minister Keir Starmer received 500 rounds), which triggered complex legal and security responses upon the leaders' return home:



Turkey knows he might need it soon with all the invaders they let in. Maybe 500 rounds is a hint
