The worst kind of firewood
These recent images via the Botswana Police Service, show stands of impounded and surrendered rifles and shotguns given the hard goodbye.
Sure lots of these look to be Chinese pellet rifles, cottage industry-made smokepoles, and cobbled together “Dane Guns” but on closer look, you can see plenty of old Martini-Henrys, Enfields, and boxlocks. There are likely a few Rigbys, big game Mausers, and Holland & Hollands there as well.
A pity.
Nothing says trustworthy government like civilian disarmament. The 20th century alone is a wash in historical example of what a safe decision that is….. Morons.
