"I just grab 'em by the glock"

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.

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

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

u/FailedCoder86 Jul 09 '26

In the article it says Starmer had it decommissioned but I don’t see where it says Carney did the same

What article? Theres no article linked.

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

u/FailedCoder86 Jul 09 '26

There was another post here that linked to an article but received less upvotes. Anyways, it’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.

The problem is we already proved we’re a bunch of useless westoids since 2014

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

u/DoctorBlazes Jul 09 '26

And then he might even fire it afterwards.

u/DuperCheese Jul 09 '26

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

u/NeruLight Jul 10 '26

He didn’t have a loicense. I kinda admire the fact our horse police just said okay and brought it home.

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.

u/Low-HangingFruit Jul 09 '26

I mean, its a ceremonial gift.

Its going to a museum or an archive.

u/NeruLight Jul 09 '26

It’d be a lot cooler if he didn’t. It came with ammo too

6

u/Wilsonjet2017 Jul 09 '26

The ammo was left in Turkey.

u/NeruLight Jul 09 '26

Boooooo!!

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.

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.

Trump got that plane from the Quatar …what’s the big deal for one lousy ceremonial pistol

23

u/AMEFOD Jul 09 '26

Both would be illegal. It’s just that Trump doesn’t care and currently no one is stopping him.

u/Dill_Pickle_Tears Jul 09 '26

Yeah he surrendered it right away for decommissioning
