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

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

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.

And then he might even fire it afterwards.

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

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

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.

I mean, its a ceremonial gift.

Its going to a museum or an archive.

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

The ammo was left in Turkey.

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.
