Always really bad,, to be the guard who was disarmed. But two santas,, poor SOB. He won’t ever hear the end of it. Now,, who in Sweden would try to steal a rifle? ROP again?
Nothing ruins the holidays quicker than “Santa stole my assault rifle.”
I'm a lot closer to my death than my birth and I until now thought there was only one Santa Clause.
When we were in Sweden at the end of Nobel week, we went to old town Stockholm and I posed with one of the palace guards. There was a box that surrounded the guard “shack” and I had to stand outside of it. I remembered the weapon also had a bayonet on it as well. Pretty cool !
He’s part of the Viking Kittycat detachment!
Wait, they beat up an ARMED guard with a loaded weapon and took it from him?
I think the chances that a ceremonial guard on a city street at a historic site had a magazine in, much less a round chambered are slim.
Okay, I looked again and it does use the word ‘loaded.’ I’m not sure what that means in Sweden.
To the liberal Might Media Monolith, (and some US states!) a loaded semi-auto is any one that has a magazine in it. A round being chambered is irrelevant.
The fact that a gun so “loaded” won’t SHOOT is lost on these geniuses, however.
What a honkin’ big muzzle attachment. It looks as big as a beer can.
That's a barrel condom. It's just so that if something hits the trigger, the bullet don't get out and hurt someone.
there is no sanity clause.
Hmmmm. Muslims not assimilating into being good Europeans? How shocking! It's absolutely shocking I tell you.
"Now I have a machine gun. HO HO HO."

Nice connection! I forgot about that one.
