Silly story of the year...

[Slawburger]

I don't whether to laugh at the reactions of everyone involved or just be saddened by the state of the British Empire. What has happened to the land of Richard the Lion-Hearted?

Britain: formerly great and ruled the majority of the world. Now two steps away from third-world cesspool. Lloyd's of London will be loaded when they sink into the mire.

And to think, they too could have chosen Liberty.

I'm going to show my ignorance here but what is a 2.2mm round? 2.2mm = 0.0866".

Looking at the photos, I'm guessing they meant a 22cal of some sort. But 2,2mm is written more than once.

and they wonder why we kicked there ass in the revolutionary war.....

7,500 little bombs just waiting to blow up and hurt them. Shiver...they are lucky to be alive.

I can beat that for sillyness. This story from a few years ago Bullet found in doorway (From East London and West Essex Guardian Series)
A single .22 round and you would think he found a bomb.

Is there any way to introduce UK tourists to American gun culture? Would be a lot of fun to show them my stash, and even more would be to show them how FTF purchases work! They'd need to bring some extra underwear I imagine.

I wonder if they freak out when they're here and see someone open carrying? They probably think we're savage.

'It’s sad because we love this house and have spent time and effort making it a home. And somebody somewhere has ruined that. I don’t want to stay in a house where that kind of thing has been found in the garden. I’m gutted.'

I love the Officer in the tyvex suit looking for ammo.

'My first thought was ‘Oh my God, I’ve found treasure! I was thrilled.
'But I picked the metal up and realised it was a bullet.'

The nimrod was right the first time! Seeing how the going rate is $1 / round or even more for some of that stuff!

All that ammo would have made for a very nice INGO Saturday range outing.

I have never heard of 2.2 mm rifle bullets - another idiotic press statement. Guess I should also be DEAD, cause can't count the times I carried ammo in my pocket.

If the same police and fire personnel searched my house - they would call out the national guard and evacuate the city I live in!

I'm sure they will have a Bomb disposal squad explode all that ammo on some deserted Island. Makes you wonder what those uneducated idiots would do if faced with a real issue like a case or two of sweating dynamite or an unexploded 500 lb bomb?

"We have friends with young children who could have put one of the bullets in their mouth, or one of our cats could have got hold of one - it doesn’t bear thinking about...."

Oh dear God...Won't somebody please think of the...Kitties?!?!?!

 

[The Bubba Effect]

Has the free world ever more closely resembled "low hanging fruit" ripe for picking?? God help us.

 

[BogWalker]

Well that was a good laugh.
