DESPERATE TO start your own white militia but don t know where to find the necessary hardware? Well, fret no more my fascist friends, because The Small Arms Review has finally made it over the Atlantic. A must-read for anyone who wants to build their own fortified compound in the Wicklow Mountains, the magazine is packed with ads for companies like US Ordenance, who can fix you up with a Vickers Semi-Auto .303 machine gun for just $4,495 (including p&p).
If you re one of those people who don t like to disturb the neighbours, the new Mossad and Mini-Mossad range of Uzi silencers are available on-line from www.gem-tech.com. Legal in 34 states, these lightweight Teflon beauties are ideal for bank robberies, organised crime hits and making sure that next door s dog never pees on your lawn again. Should you have something more dramatic in mind like overthrowing the local parish council a fully operational M41 Walker Bulldog tank is yours for a very reasonable $125,000. Buy two and Second Armor Productions will throw in a 75mm Light Howitzer free!
Cognisant of the fact that selling operational automatic weapons is illegal, Texas High Caliber Ordenance supply all of theirs sans operating spring and firing pin. Along with 200 different types of gun, they also carry a comprehensive range of accessories including a handy operating spring and firing pin set for $99. The little scamps.
The stern defenders of constitutional rights that they are, The Small Arms Review are mightily miffed at the cancellation of a gun show in California. Editor Dan O Shea why, oh why didn t his parents call him Rick? has this to say about the outrage: For the first time in 32 years, the Great Western show will not be held in Pomona, California. This is due to the pressure from the Anti-Second Amendment zealots who tried to make an end run around the law, by banning the sale of firearms on LA County property. The promoters voted with their feet, and moved the show to the Las Vegas Convention Centre in Las Vegas (you don t say Ed.). This effectively took about $10million out of the local community in Pomona. Your faithful correspondent here would very much like to see more of this type of thing.
I m surprised that they didn t think of going to Columbine, where 13 families are a bit strapped on account of recently having to pay for their children s funerals. Never mind a single plot, they could have bought the whole graveyard with that ten million.
