Irish brothers were denied the ability to purchase a couple of pistols by the government so they took it to court. And promptly lost of course. I thought Ireland was all about freedom and "throwing off the yoke of their oppressors" and all that garbage?

The applicant said he was entitled to a licence under that legislation in place in October, 2008. “You were entitled to be considered for the licensing of a firearm” Inspector Ruane clarified. The applicant agreed.

Yeah, sounds real free there. If they had a 2nd Amendment, it would read "you  have the right to be considered worthy to keep and bear arms".

Supt McMahon informed the brothers that she was not processing any application for anyone pending this legislation.

The court heard that the gun enthusiasts have four guns already, including shotguns and rifles, and that if the superintendent had granted the licence, there would have been six firearms in the house.

"I had certain concerns as to the security of the firearms," she said.

Wow! Six guns. Six whole guns. I have eight guns in site and I'm just at my desk in my home office.

Funny, I don't  see the swastika on her uniform.

Supt McMahon said the intensity of security needed for a Glock pistol is much higher than a rifle, adding the Glock pistols "have become a weapon of choice for criminals in Limerick city".

Weapons of choice? How can that be? Glocks are not made in Ireland. It is an Island. Guns are heavily controlled there. How can criminals get Glocks? Not only that, but they "choose" Glocks over other choices so there must be plenty of other guns available. But wait, they have gun control there. Oh yeah, I forgot. Gun control doesn't work. Morons.
