The "Pirates" of Somalia . . . . . they can't be Christian, "never bite the hand that feeds you".

In the Crosshairs

Hey Gunners,

Richard Johnson of GunsForSale.com and I were talking about how guys in rowboats could capture these massive tankers off of the Somalia coast. Is there really no defense against these people? Meanwhile, this conversation lead to an article and Richard picks his best pirate killing arsenal. Richard looked at the weapons we could use to stop pirates and I wanted to know more about this little gem of a country.

Just so you know the US Government taxpayer forks over roughly $460,000,000 a year to the Government of Somalia for grants, economic and military aid. I recently heard our generous Feds send 80,000 tons of food a month to Somalia, but I can't confirm that number. Interestingly enough, Somalia has one of the highest birth rates in the world at 6.17 kids per woman. This ensures there will be a US Government funded pirate program for a long time to come. According to the CIA Somalia imports 58% of their goods from UAE, 20% from Yemen and 4% from Saudi Arabia. In short, we feed them and they make lots of babies and they take the money we give them and they buy stuff from Middle Eastern countries. Arrrgh…me thinks it's time to stop the funding to Somalia, matey.

You just can't make this stuff up.

Stay loaded my friends,
