“Be careful not to mistake insecurity and inadequacy for humility! Humility has nothing to do with the insecure and inadequate, just as arrogance has nothing to do with greatness!”

In an article of 3 July 17, Sky News crowed about a single seizure of illegal guns (“illegal guns” is a redundancy in the UK) on the French side of the Channel Tunnel, ostensibly on their way to England.
We are told that a number of “viable” handguns “in 4mm and 6mm” caliber, plus ammunition, were seized.
For one, I’d sure like to see what 4mm and 6mm handgun ammunition looks like!
I’m not at all sure what “non-viable” handguns might looks like!
Sky News writers obviously couldn’t distinguish a “viable gun” from a waffle-iron!
Like “show” drug-seizures, often ballyhooed by police, this seizure represents some minuscule fraction of one percent of guns illegally entering the UK!
“Real guns” are regularly slipped into the UK, in the dead of night, via small boats operating into small coves along England’s complicated and poorly-patrolled coastline, and have been for most of the last century!
Once again, the foregoing is little more than carefully-orchestrated “security theater,” specifically designed for naive consumption by a gullible public.
Castrated citizens of the UK, and all of Western Europe, remain extremely vulnerable to a bona fide holocaust, perpetuated by heavily-armed Islamic Terrorists, and little is being done to correct this situation, save an occasional “show” seizure/arrest, designed to temporarily mollify the frightened and apprehensive.
The harsh truth:
Citizens, here and there, are solely responsible for their own protection, whether they realize it or not, as governments predictably spend the vast majority of time, effort, and resources protecting themselves, as we see!
“Harsh truth is painful, but there’s healing at the end. False hope, on the other hand, is a dangerous thing that offers no reward. Not immediately, nor with the passage of time. It never pays off.”
