WTF! Israel lumped in with Muslim tyrannies?
So, how are they going to stop arms dealers from doing what H&K says that it shall not do?
Isn’t HK actually owned by the Brits at this time?
“...whose guns are estimated to have killed more than 2 million people since the company was founded in 1949,...”
Pretty damned smarrt guns. They didn’t need people at all.
Gads, the Guardian folks have to be roughly seven sigma to the left of average on the Bell Curve.
But, then again, they ARE the Guardian. And we know all about that collection of clowns.
Plenty of other companies, including US companies, who can take up the slack.
First Point: Has H&K started building armed robots? As we all know, guns don’t kill anybody, people kill other people.
Second Point: How many people have been killed by other people using AK-47’s? I’ll bet it is a lot more than these knuckleheads are blaming on H&K.
I suspect the price-tag on H&K weapons is a problem now on the open market. When your competition is selling the same basic weapon...same quality...at half the price, you don’t move weapons much then.
The ghosts of Sturm and Ruger are still found on the executive boards of several companies...
... Including, apparently, the UK Guardian.
I’m sure Jericho will find this news most beneficial. Dummies.
And I love my Hks too.
England refused to sell guns to the Colonies but American ingenuity built enough to send them back over the waters.
H&K need to supply real Germans, the weapons they need to defend themselves from the Islamic terrorist that Angle-uh have crammed into their nation.
Buh bye H&K
Israel?
Hmm...maybe the prices will come down a bit. That would be nice...
Right. So that’s why their shell company will be doing the selling.
Israel is the only democracy in all of the countries listed. There will be no H&K firearms purchased in our household.
It's all about the money...and they may stop a "out the door" sell policy, but the back yard deals will continue, if not increase.
Another reason I don't like H&K or Sig Sauer or damned Glock or any of the European arms makers.
They're full of shit.
H&K is just doing what the gov’t tells/allows them to do. Duh!
Of course they’d sell their goods to any interested party, but export licenses are gov’t controlled. Double Duh!
According to the Guardian, not selling weapons to Israel is an ethical decision. Okay. I’m boycotting both the Guardian and H&K forever.
I imagine Chicago is off the sales map as well speaking of war zones.
