Hotshot McDawg sting! sting! shoots the weapons out of his own hands. He criticises the anachronisms. He criticises the judges. The police. The ways of the world. In, out, crucify them about. It's the medieval battle against the medieval problem in a modern society. Outlaw gin!

CALLER: IRA! Leave me alone.
SHINNER (Norn Iron accent): And aren't we Irish? Or do you object to that?

Protect import-export jobs. Bunch of schoolkids tried to import bazookas through Irish ports and export them again. Success. Or go into your google and search for leg irons. Click on the arms traders. Sierra Leone. Angola. Arms brokerage connected to Dublin. No laws about it in Dublin. Ah sure why would we want laws about that?
Half a million people die every year from small arms. What happened? Couldn't reach for the beans?
