Not mentioned is how many Scottish men also turned in their balls since they don’t use them anymore.
No, they’re not ‘kilts’ - they’re dresses.
That’s sick.
My two teenage boys and their friends were using airsoft guns in our backyard the other day. Some pansy neighbor called the police who stopped by for a brief visit. Upon immediately ascertaining that they were toys, they left and went on with their day.

Socialist = Stupidist

Schmucks, indeed.

Wow - an *airgun* amnesty. Not much more need be said regarding the future of the U.K.
WOW!! That is some neighbor you have. NOT COOL.
The truly sad thing is how many of those were sent by Americans in Britain’s hour of need?

It shoots a .495 round ball.
Air is provided by a scuba tank.

Such sheep

NEVER!
Reminds me of a scene in the movie VIVA ZAPATA in which the peasants are turning in their guns, after which they are attacked by the Mexican Army.
Did you see the story about Lewis and Clarke’s air gun?
A once great nation, now ruled by Squirrels.
Which also means that the mussies living there are now better equipped to gun down people in gatherings.
