"when you're a star prime minister, they let you do it. You can do anything"

"I just grab 'em by the glock"

u/JazzManJasper Jul 09 '26

Lame Carney handed it over to the horse police for deactivation and left the box of ammo in Turkey. From what I read the handgun will probably end up in a museum.

6

u/NIBLZ_HAMSTR Jul 10 '26

Considering who it was given to, and the fact that it was essentially destroyed, itll end up in the basement of the museum. Lol

u/Sillyak Jul 09 '26

He turned it over to the RCMP for decommissioning. What a farce

23

u/FailedCoder86 Jul 09 '26

In the article it says Starmer had it decommissioned but I donā€™t see where it says Carney did the same

15

u/chasing_daylight Jul 09 '26

What article? Theres no article linked.

Most outlets are reporting the UK, Germany and Canada are having theirs decommissioned

10

u/FailedCoder86 Jul 09 '26

There was another post here that linked to an article but received less upvotes. Anyways, itā€™s sad he is having it decommissioned because honesty it sends a bad message to our enemies. The gun gift was a symbolic message from Turkey, and to have them decommissioned sends a weak message to our foes about our willingness to protect ourselves.

u/NeruLight Jul 09 '26

The problem is we already proved weā€™re a bunch of useless westoids since 2014

21

u/got-trunks Jul 09 '26

Carney is squeezing off a few in the forest with that thing and I know it.

35

u/DoctorBlazes Jul 09 '26

And then he might even fire it afterwards.

3

u/DuperCheese Jul 09 '26

Starmer just left it there. He said he cannot legally import a gun into the UK.

2

u/NeruLight Jul 10 '26

He didnā€™t have a loicense. I kinda admire the fact our horse police just said okay and brought it home.

2

u/HappyCan7250 Jul 10 '26

The article i read said Starmer left his behind, and Carney actually didn't even "receive" it, it was just given to the RCMP. He claims he was only made aware after.

I love the irony of this though, gifting a handgun to the Liberal loser PM. What a nice gift, wonder what will happen to it.

29

u/Low-HangingFruit Jul 09 '26

I mean, its a ceremonial gift.

Its going to a museum or an archive.

35

u/NeruLight Jul 09 '26

Itā€™d be a lot cooler if he didnā€™t. It came with ammo too

5

u/Wilsonjet2017 Jul 09 '26

The ammo was left in Turkey.

5

u/NeruLight Jul 09 '26

Boooooo!!

4

u/Joebranflakes Jul 09 '26

I mean no one is ever going to shoot it, and if it were sold it would not be able to be sold as a live weapon. At least not in this era of gun control.

10

u/JazzlikeSort Jul 09 '26

It's technically not his to keep. They can't keep gifts unless they pay the cash value of it. Otherwise it'll go to a museum.

3

u/noveltyisthe Jul 09 '26

Trump got that plane from the Quatar ā€¦whatā€™s the big deal for one lousy ceremonial pistol

22

u/AMEFOD Jul 09 '26

Both would be illegal. Itā€™s just that Trump doesnā€™t care and currently no one is stopping him.

2

u/Dill_Pickle_Tears Jul 09 '26

Yeah he surrendered it right away for decommissioning

179

u/Vintage_Pieces_10 Jul 09 '26 edited Jul 09 '26

Darn, if only there wasnā€™t a handgun freeze in place, he could keep it. Surely out of respect for poly, heā€™ll turn over this weapon of mass destruction!

Edit: wowā€¦ he did actually turn it over to the RCMPā€¦ lame

66

u/Most_Bath5811 Jul 09 '26

He's bumping his buyback numbers up one gift at a time!

19

u/conanap Jul 09 '26

Does he even have a license tho tbh

3

u/coniferslav Jul 10 '26

Considering his roots I could imagine he'd at least have or had a non-res pal

1

u/mac1qc qb Jul 11 '26

In the interview that followed, he said he doesn't have any license, so maybe in his young time when he was a real Albertan cowboy, but not anymore.

u/84camaroguy Jul 09 '26

I donā€™t like the law, but I admire the consistency.

u/davidc538 onterrible Jul 09 '26

What a loser lol

u/mechant_papa Jul 09 '26

According to Turkish news, the handgun in question is a Sarsilmaz SR 38 revolver, with a box of cartridges, like this:

12

u/NeruLight Jul 09 '26

Interesting. Why cant they make the ones they send us like that šŸ˜­

13

u/ilikefixingthingz Jul 09 '26

They do, there's just no market for higher end Turkish branded firearms in Canada, let alone handguns. They're seen as the cheap options now and it'd be really hard to convince clients otherwise.

The reality is that the Turks (just like the Chinese or Asian manufacturers) can turn out some amazing stuff depending on what you pay for and how involved of a distributor/retailer you want to be.

You can request certain QA/QC processes as part of your contract, even spare parts, warranty processing, etc. This is what the bigger players offshoring their manufacturing in Turkey are doing (such as CZ).

A lot of smaller NATO countries actually rely on the larger Turkish manufacturers (Sarsilmaz or Yildiz being 2 big ones) for their small arms, especially the crew served, belt fed firearms like M2 Brownings.

3

u/Old_Jacker Jul 09 '26

I don't think Sarsilmaz or Yildiz in Canadian market but Sarsilmaz afaik has some stuff in US, especially handguns. But I don't know the Canadian market.

Let me give a funfact, in Turkey it is crazy hard to get anything that is not pistol or smoothbore. So most of the investment goes to shotguns and pistols for civilian market. Military related manufacturers are able to do its own thing since they are well funded by government. That is one of the reasons why we don't see almost any decent .308 or similar caliber guns for civilians and why military stuff is relatively more affordable. Few exceptions for civilian market here and there but compared to shotguns, it is like nothing.

u/Substantial-Onion-92 Jul 10 '26

I have a Yildiz 12GA O/U and it is a very nice quality firearm. Nice materials and beautiful engravings. Very reliable and feels solid.

I also have a Turkish made Winchester 20ga that is half plastic and the trigger group self destructed.

22

u/Superb_Extension1751 Jul 09 '26

Well let's just hope and pray it's been deactivated. Lord knows that weapon is too dangerous for Canadians to own.

4

u/EatAss-FartFast Jul 10 '26

Damn Canada just got A WHOLE LOT SAFER now that the PM decided to turn in his gift to the RCMP.

17

u/yummybunnybear Jul 09 '26

Everyone here is going for the Olympic shooter exemption but Carney outdoing everyone with the NATO leader exemption.

u/FngrBngr-84 Jul 09 '26

Mr Burns will hand that right to Gary to store in his cheeks. Dealerā€™s choice on which set of cheeks.

22

u/Relevant_Diver_3228 Jul 09 '26

Yep its already in my cheeks

u/itsagrapefruit Jul 09 '26

Which set?

u/Relevant_Diver_3228 Jul 09 '26

I switch every 25 minutesĀ

u/SelppinEvolI Jul 09 '26

To bad he missed the cutoff for the buy back program

28

u/AddressFeeling3368 Jul 09 '26

He had better get his rpal

u/Benefit_Waste Jul 09 '26

Too bad he doesnā€™t know what that is

Pain brothers and sisters, pain. It's like getting a Rolex and ripping the movement out

Oh please let it be a short barreled revolver. Y'know, just for the extra irony.

u/Motor_Historian2634 Jul 09 '26

Apparently he gave them to the rcmp lmao

u/Vikare_ Jul 09 '26

What a fucking joke! That poor revolver..

7

u/NIBLZ_HAMSTR Jul 09 '26

Welding that barrel would be the stupidest thing anyone could do... and if I were the president of turkey I'd be super insulted. I would have gifted him a cap gun... engraved... in a lovely, velvet lined wooden box... complete with a roll of caps.

3

u/NeruLight Jul 09 '26

I agree it tarnishes the gift .. weak behaviour

5

u/Eisenbahn-de-order Jul 09 '26

He then promptly turn it in for dewat, lol

Do you think he got one that works?

Would we be safe to assume him and the chipmunk added this to the beyond cooked and skewed numbers theyā€™ve dreamt up for the buyback?

Erdogan be like "This is the special one I use for the people who try to have 'democracy'"
Carney: *furiously taking notes*

u/B5_V3 Jul 09 '26

Doubt heā€™s got an RPal or a Prohibited.

2

u/1anre Jul 09 '26

Did they get to test them on a range?

u/harbourhunter Jul 09 '26

Where is the snow queen when we need her

u/ledfloyd Jul 09 '26

Does Carney have time in his schedule for an impromptu Fishing Trip to "the Lake"

2

u/SkSMaN7 Jul 09 '26

Is he part of the Olympic team?

2

u/Glittering_Eye_6342 Jul 09 '26

They should send it to Ukraine like they wanted to do with my Gsg-16

2

u/SuperD7500 Jul 09 '26

Does he have a PAL? If not possessing it is illegalā€¦just saying.

2

u/Remarkable-Show-6367 Jul 16 '26

Wait! What! Isn't it illegal to ship or import hand guns in and out of CanIndia?

1

u/NeruLight Jul 17 '26

Well people with an authorization letter can import hand guns still. RCMP usually have the job of ā€œretrievingā€ guns that lack proper paperwork, so I imagine they have the authority to possess and even import it on the PMā€™s behalf, right on the spot in Turkey, or just like call back and have the import ā€œorderā€ created etc.

3

u/specificallyrelative Jul 09 '26 edited Jul 13 '26

Is Carney gonna make a special exemption to bring what his regime calls a Murder Stick back? Just because it's him.

Edit: turns out he decided to destroy it and slap Recep Tayyip Erdoğan in the face with everyone else. I thought that he would have had it deactivated and put in a display in parliament somewhere instead of trying to illegally keep it without an RPAL, but not full blown destroy it.

2

u/NeruLight Jul 09 '26

Itā€™s bullshit man but at least he accepted unlike the PM of UK

2

u/Cute_Ad6301 Jul 09 '26

This is how it went.

u/manonfireohno Jul 09 '26

I imagine the weight of the gun was too much for his frail little hands to hold properly šŸ˜‚

1

u/Solitaire3006 Jul 09 '26

Oh, now that's funny. If he brings it back to Canada he could serve 5 years in jail. And violating Garry Alphabet's handgun freeze.

1

u/Solitaire3006 Jul 09 '26

Of course, that's not the current Turkish PM.

1

u/CIS3RO Jul 10 '26

So he can have one but we canā€™t. It better be deactivated

u/KaeseKraimer Jul 12 '26

Erdogan - an anachronism amongst our so called sheep leaders. Except perhaps Meloni. I can picture her plinking out back with a cig in her mouth.
