Around here, this guy would just be a small-time hobbyist.

"the Army had to dispose of a deactivated grenade"

I guess they would not approve of the "complaints" statue on my desk. (Has the number one under the pin.)

"... and there was also a deactivated grenade which an army bomb disposal team was called in to make safe," said the spokesman person from the Department of Redundancy Department.

"Around here, this guy would just be a small-time hobbyist."

Around here the local SWAT team would have used him as a PR stunt.

Er...if the grenade was deactivated, what did the EOD have to do to make it safe? Tie a little ribbon around it?

Retired rail worker William Charles Hughes, 66, had earlier admitted two charges of selling illegal firearms...

No such thing as "illegal firearms" so long as the second amendment exists.

Amendment II

A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.

What part of "the people" and "shall not" is unclear here?

Sad...

A testament to why the 2nd Amendment is such a treasured right for Americans.

Reading the list of stuff reminds me to clean out my closets.

I love the idiotic over reaction about a dewatt grenade. Thank God I'm not in England!

How much does one get paid to "make safe" dummy grenades?

If it includes benefits please send me an application (it will be much easier than what I'm doing now!)

It's the UK, where the common people are "subjects" instead of citizens.

A couple of weeks ago the headline screamed about a deactivated AK-47 that "could have been repaired for about 220 pounds". You could probably buy a new one for less.
