The Serbian government asked people on Tuesday not to dispose of hand grenades and other munitions in the garbage, hoping to minimize accidents as it imposes tighter controls over privately held weapons.

Hundreds of thousands of unregistered arms, many stashed away after the wars in the former-Yugoslavia in the 1990s, are estimated to be at large in the country with a population of 7.3 million. That is in addition to over 1 million registered weapons.

Perhaps they should hold a “Grenade Buyback” program?

Excellent idea!

Officer Friendly: "Thanks for the grenade, Mr. Drill. Here's yer Starbucks gift card. Waidaminnud, where's the pin?"

BtD: "Here it is. The pin will cost you five hunnert."

Sounds like a Second Amendment paradise.

That's what I was thinking.
Those whacky Serbs ... Still, they have the right idea about 'The right to bare arms shall not be infringed'...

Well, I had three a few years ago. But I rendered them inert first.

If you read the article, the government is starting with gun control and confiscation. Not time to throw in the trash, time for a boating accident or at least burying the weapons. Based on history, I would not disarm there.

That’s actually good advice.

They should be recycling their hand grenades.

It’s the green thing to do.

Egon Spengler: There’s something very important I forgot to tell you.
Peter Venkman: What?
Spengler: Don’t cross the streams.
Venkman: Why?
Spengler: It would be bad.
Venkman: I’m fuzzy on the whole good/bad thing. What do you mean, “bad”?
Spengler: Try to imagine all life as you know it stopping instantaneously and every molecule in your body exploding at the speed of light.
Ray Stantz: Total protonic reversal!
Venkman: Right. That’s bad. Okay. All right. Important safety tip. Thanks, Egon.

What idiots.

What a waste.

Everyone knows grenades make great toys for monkeys to play with.

I would think there it would be unwise to not have weapons.

including...psychiatric checks

Wonder what that would look like in Serbia? Probably a lot like the R. Lee Ermey "Jackwagon" psychiatry commercial, with plenty of "effing your mother" expletives thrown in.

And, for full disclosure, I am of Serbian descent.
