Swords Into Ploughshares

The Canadian government spent $16.5 million paying Afghan soldiers to surrender their guns and take up farming instead of fighting.
Yes, they'll be happy to take your money. They can play your little game and upgrade their arsenals.

Keep thinking like "fair-minded" Westerners over there. Good Lord.

I love the Toronto Sun title "...Guns for Hoes."

That's T0ronto for you.

The Afghan soldiers must still be laughing. Don't think "fair-minded" is the term the Afghan's use for them over there. But, the term 'idiots' probably is.

The Afghans have been doing this for thousands of years. If I'm not mistaken, the Afghans are one of the only unconquered people in the world. Several have tried, all have failed.

Well, the Australian government spent MUCH more than that on "buying back" handguns and other firearms from legitimate owners ... and yes, I did buy a better arsenal. In fact, I pick up my new (to me) Mosin-Nagant tomorrow.

Shows there isn't much difference between moon-bats of any country, wherever they operate.
