How would a museum request one I wonder?

Actions like this are abusive of the taxpayer.

Even if they were to sell them for $200 each, it's better than melting them down for scrap steel value.

Government waste yet again !

I think the Toronto Police Museum has all of
The Inglis Pistols from Long Branch Collection

Does anyone in Canada think the Liberal government would ever sell surplus pistols to us?
If you do, I have a bridge to sell, it is a small one so cheap.

Does Gunnutz have a museum?

good !!! That way they won’t be pulling those out of storage next time the caf deploy to an actual warzone. Yes it’s wasteful but good riddance to the BHP as an issued sidearm from another era.

Ooooo... that will make our PM hard so he can show Mendocino a good time this weekend!!!

Yeah it will probably take 10 years to figure out how to melt them down. Then award a contract to a Quebec company that will be delayed and go over budget 3 fold.

As if the government cares about the tax payer. After ww3 I think those who survive make a pact to never allow a government to have such powers again

 

[bogusiii]

Mybe they should have to buy them back from the army.

Robert A. Heinlein had some ideas on that.

How the heck can we when the mob erases, censors, tears down and re-writes history?

Buybacks only work for gov't for some reason. When you try to buy back their stuff they call it theft and you get arrested.

History has always been rewritten by the winners.
