British PM leaves engraved revolver that Turkish president gave to NATO leaders because it's illegal to bring it home

How ludicrous is that?

Firearms have been around for a thousand years in one form or another. There are over a billion of them in circulation around the world, around 85% of them in civilian hands, largely thanks to the U.S. (private American citizens own over half of all guns, at 533 million in 2025).

The UK pretends that this technology doesn't exist and makes it illegal to own them, even if the blaster is a GIFT from another world leader to the PRIME MINISTER.

Starmer, who apparently doesn't have an ounce of testosterone in his body, was reportedly baffled at why world leaders would choose to gift cool weapons, despite this being standard practice among world leaders since the dawn of time.

Don’t stop with declining the revolver, Mr. Starmer!

Ask Interpol to issue an international arrest warrant for Erdogan. The guy is obviously an arms trafficker.

It’s a presentation revolver... It’s not meant for killing people... You can obviously use it to kill someone, but you typically have presentation revolvers as displays in your home... Starmer is a dolt.

I hit 70 and started giving away my fancier or shootable antique guns. I still have a generous supply.

Plugging the barrel doesn’t help with the virtue signaling.

Another absurdity is that for years, the British Olympic pistol shooting team has had to practice in France as it is forbidden to do so in their home country. All because some creep in Dunblane shot up a school gym filled with children.

Refusing a gift from the leader of a host country is unbelievable insult.

Good grief SMH

Why not have the thing disabled so it can’t fire.

Erdogan is thinking “How did we lose to them in WWI?”

Keir Starmer did accept the dildo though.

The most treasured gift you can give to a Muslim is a deadly weapon.

I remember when Elvis Presley brought a framed Colt .45 to the White House to present to President Nixon. The secret service promptly confiscated the gun, which is now displayed at the Nixon library.

The prime minister returned home without the revolver. It will be decommissioned in Türkiye, leaving Starmer with the story, and not the gun.

This proves that the whole thing is a political stunt.

Starmer is a good man. He is not taking the gun and the gun is to be destroyed because guns are bad.

Look at me. I am virtuous. I don't like guns.
