Ft Collins, CO –-(Ammoland.com)- “Be careful not to mistake insecurity and inadequacy for humility! Humility has nothing to do with the insecure and inadequate, just as arrogance has nothing to do with greatness!” ~ C JoyBell
In an article of 3 July 17, Sky News crowed about a single seizure of illegal guns (“illegal guns” is a redundancy in the UK) on the French side of the Channel Tunnel, ostensibly on their way to England.
We are told that a number of “viable” handguns “in 4mm and 6mm” caliber, plus ammunition, were seized.
For one, I’d sure like to see what 4mm and 6mm handgun ammunition looks like!
I’m not at all sure what “non-viable” handguns might looks like!
Sky News writers obviously couldn’t distinguish a “viable gun” from a waffle-iron!
Like “show” drug-seizures, often ballyhooed by police, this seizure represents some minuscule fraction of one percent of guns illegally entering the UK!
“Real guns” are regularly slipped into the UK, in the dead of night, via small boats operating into small coves along England’s complicated and poorly-patrolled coastline, and have been for most of the last century!
Once again, the foregoing is little more than carefully-orchestrated “security theater,” specifically designed for naive consumption by a gullible public.
Castrated citizens of the UK, and all of Western Europe, remain extremely vulnerable to a bona fide holocaust, perpetuated by heavily-armed Islamic Terrorists, and little is being done to correct this situation, save an occasional “show” seizure/arrest, designed to temporarily mollify the frightened and apprehensive.
The harsh truth:
Citizens, here and there, are solely responsible for their own protection, whether they realize it or not, as governments predictably spend the vast majority of time, effort, and resources protecting themselves, as we see!
“Harsh truth is painful, but there’s healing at the end. False hope, on the other hand, is a dangerous thing that offers no reward. Not immediately, nor with the passage of time. It never pays off.” ~ Northern Adams

4-6mm comment:
You can’t expect LEOs and reporters to get details right when telling the tall tales when they themselves know nothing of weapons. Our reporters who have the rights to own and carry know nothing at all either. Everything is either a Glock or an assault rifle, all firearms are automatic and any ammo is “deadlier” than the other and everything has a “clip” according to them.
I don’t know who this “Gil” is, but he recently posted: “Most Muslim beliefs are on par with Conservative Christians.” I don’t know any Christians – and I don’t think there’s a single Christian – who believes anything approaching … Koran 2:191 “Slay the unbelievers wherever you find them.” Koran 3:28 “Muslims must not take the infidels as friends.” Koran 3:85 “Any religion other than Islam is not acceptable.” Koran 5:33 “Maim and crucify the infidels if they criticize Islam” Koran 8:12 “Terrorize and behead those who believe in scriptures other than the Koran.” Koran 8:60 “Muslims must muster all… Read more »
Has anyone noticed the number of muslem (rag head) women that are finding a place in our society by complaining about our laws and customs. There are getting to be more and more of them showing their faces on t.v. and running their mouths. My solution to their unhappiness would be to get out of here as fast as you can so you don’t have bunches in your panties anymore. It would be to our benefit to help them leave before they do kill us and be sure their koran goes with them. We sure don’t need it here. They… Read more »
Have you noticed that the Demorats under Muslim Obama (Barry Soetoro) and killer Clinton assisted the Muslims to overthrow Kaddafi, and destroy Syria, in order to invade Europe. If Trump did not become president, the same invasion would be taking place here at a much faster pace. So, thank god for Trump. Don’t let your guard down, the Demorat traitors are still planning for more Muslims to take over the USA. Its time to reverse the 1965 immigration bill signed into law by Johnson. That law change allowed Muslims to enter the U.S., and now there are over 9 Million… Read more »
Simplest way to get obnoxious followers of MoHamMad to move away, is to get a few “pet” pigs and pen them in along your property line. Completely legal, and more importantly, very effective.
4mm? Probably a .17 version/variant or perhaps an HK 4.65×30.
The HK was popular for a period of time and was minimally viable in CQB situations.
