RUGER'S 76 Years - Earthy Treasures:

"You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, - which is just long enough to become president of the United States."    Spike Milligan.

What we call 'Ruger' started 76 years ago in 1949 making affordable long lived, decent quality, strong firearms ..

Lipsey's Ruger SP101 Three inch Barrel in 327 Federal Magnum Caliber Revolver.

Naturally - this particular model will not be available in New Zealand due to it having a three inch barrel - deemed by NZ Police to be too short for purpose.

Mind you .. my Police annual home security checker / Approver stated that my four inch 327 stainless revolver did not exist - because there was no such thing as 327 Federal Magnum caliber .. and he should know, he being a police firearms expert. - He also wanted to fail my security because my houses' brand new, double glazed aluminium doors had hinge pins visible outside ..

I treasured my specially imported 327 SP101 as it was a fine performing versatile tool - and I was devastated by having to dispose of it at auction around a decade later. - Someone got an absolute bargain. My loss.

So, - the British Crown Jewels, which are held in trust by King Charles & Queen Camilla, - are understood to be worth between 4 to 6 Billion Dollars .. BUT some of you might be happy to know that the York Lloyds Bank Coprolite - believed to be the very largest fosssilised TURD measuring some 20x5 centimeters - Six inches long by Two inches diameter, is said to be MORE VALUABLE:

"This is the most exciting piece of excrement I've ever seen ... In its own way, it's as irreplaceable as the Crown Jewels" - In 1991, Andrew Jones, a York Archaeological Trust employee and palaeoscatologist, made international news with his appraisal of the item for insurance purposes:

Sad to report though that somebody dropped this hard English turd when showing it to visitors .. and it broke into three pieces ..

Isn't it TRAGIC when careless ignorant people are able to do stuff that fecks-up the lives of so many ..

- Like when people who know nothing about firearms are put in charge of them and make the rules about having them eh ..

Are You Fit and Proper?

Are NZ Police 'FIT AND PROPER PERSONS'?

FIREARMS LICENCES FOR NZ POLICE.
