The EU are not very covert in their actions either, as the above example shows. We want to ban firearms, well then lets raid a legitimate business to prove our point. Now we want to ban ammunition, lets get the ECHA to compile a report to say sport shooting is poisoning the people and killing all the wild fowl.
But unfortunately our representatives seem to be ignorant by choice to their carry on and just tow the line.

Just on the CETMEs alone you'd be looking at 5.5 mil.
Those m2 brownings go for 3k a pop, and at a quick glance at the other stacks he would easily be in the hole of tens of millions of stock there.

On the UK gun ban
"Look, if a cricketer, for instance, suddenly decided to go into a school and batter a lot of people to death with a cricket bat, which he could do very easily, I mean, are you going to ban cricket bats?''
'
I can't believe that the members of the shooting clubs are any more dangerous than members of a squash club or a golf club or anything else. I mean, they're perfectly reasonable people"

''There's no evidence that people who use weapons for sport are any more dangerous than people who use golf clubs or tennis rackets or cricket bats.''

on cats and bird killing.
"Cats kill far more birds than men. Why don't you have a slogan: ‘Kill a cat and save a bird?'"

Seems the new trend is if you're under pressure or want to distract media attention from something you've done, or simply want to get your way, create a "security issue".

Varadkar moved house because of a so called security threat and now the noise about his actions in the leaking of documents seems to have disappeared from the news.

Stephen Donnelly bypassed the refusal by Wicklow County Council to allow him to erect a fence by claiming its a security issue and now has the OPW pay for the work. However Wicklow CO.Co. have fired back saying he need not think its permanent and it will be removed (i won't hold my breath).
