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.

Word of the day! Aptly describes Mr. Macron, Mr. Carney, Mr. Starmer, and so many more.

It doesn’t occur to Starmer that he was attending a meeting of a major MILITARY ALLIANCE, so a WEAPON makes sense as a memento? Maybe Starmer wants the UK’s military to be unarmed, like the police.

Of course, given Starmer’s recent “career setbacks”, handing him a pistol might have other implications...

Given all the toys I have around my house that can go bang, if I were to move, with them, to almost any other country, especially GB, I would be an immediate instant felon. Thank God for the USA, our Constitution, and the Second Amendment.
