They're terrorists. I say fill the cannons with some type of hydrochloric acid that doesn't melt the lines and fire away.
Laws that forbid the carrying of arms... disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes... Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man. Jefferson's "Commonplace Book," 1774_1776, quoting from On Crimes and Punishment, by criminologist Cesare Beccaria, 1764
If congress had there way, they would take away all firearms...
Do you really think they are going to let ships defend themselves?
**** “most ports won’t let ships with armed sailors come into ports....” ****
All the ship would need is the opposite of a lighter vessel, a small vessel that remains out of port that maintains the armory until the ship leaves port.

They should hire retired and wounded military persons to defend every ship. With every weapon they need.
“I’m ready ..been ready...first we need to take back our country then we need to unleash the dogs of war on any, that even attempts harm to this great nation domestic or foreign.”
Yup.
I would certainly want to be armed if I were a sailor traveling through areas rife with piracy. However, I imagine ports have policies against ships being laden with explosives or otherwise equipped with certain weapons.
YEAH, MAKES SENSE...but not all countries are willing to make sense.....
again...just make an appearence:

I like that...SHEIKDOM!
Aren’t the rules about not carrying or using weapons except in retaliation weird?
The destroyer USS Bainbridge is now on the scene. She carries arms - BIG arms.
I suggest we make Somalia a weapons testing free fire zone
The world needs something like that . No ROE’s
In Minnesota where thousands of Somalis are or Denver airport where dozens work or Seattle?
They need to just shoot these pirates. Set traps for them and kill them. Let Blackwater do it. This is nonsnese.
If they were white Christian children at Waco the Democrats like Hillary/Hussein would know what to do or an innocent white woman in Idaho holding her baby.
Good idea, however, congress is inhabited by a bunch of silly, shallow, wimpy, fearful, cowardly, anti-American, Euro-loving, firearm fearing twits who don’t have the stones to mark a rock, much less stand up for Americans, or American interests.
Every last one of them needs to go.
On ‘ON The Record’ with Megan Kelly - not Greta.
I don’t know of a single government in that last 6,000 years that led it people into anything except the history books with the lesson - don’t let this happen to you.
Governments by nature never lead and by the time they react to following, all is lost.
Give them our most gifted leaders in exchange for the captain: Nancy Pelosi and Barney Fag,
The West’s response, or non-response, as it were, to this simple to solve problem is absolutely pathetic. Is there a historical precedent to such a display of weakness? But it is the same response as the response to all other outrageous acts by the Muzzies, from 911 to Daniel Pearl’s murder, to the Danish cartoons and the Dutch murders. The West is committing suicide and, surprise, it’s not Communism that’s causing it.
On the other hand, I expect that Russia and China will know how to deal with the Muzzie menace.
