"All that Gandhi stuff is for tourists," adds his father, Raja K.S. Sidhu. "They should go off to Varanasi, see the holy cows."

Yeah, but their bow and arrow ratio is more like 1:1.
 
2012-02-21 10:06:27 PM
Only 3 out of every 100 still equals the second largest private arsenal in the world.

There are a LOT of f*cking Indians.

They need them to fight the cowboys.

The question is how do we arm the other 97?

I thought Indians preferred bows and tomahawks?

Damn it, that's what I get for not reading first. Sorry for repeating the lame joke.

Damn...here in the good 'ol USA--you can pick up an Eastern Bloc one of these up for less that $200....

That's a lot of brown people with AK47s. Time to send in the Marines!

Is this the thread where everyone whips themselves into a frenzy because they are convinced Fartbongo Soshulism is conspiring to grab everyone's guns away from them, despite his not making a significant move against gun owners during his first term?

If I lived in a place with as many dangerous, man-eating animals as India... I wouldn't leave the house without bringing a frikkin' Nitro Express with me.

Ol' TJ sounds positively Teabagger-esque in his paranoia towards the government.

Based on the responses thus far, nope.

No, I think this is the thread wherein people make stupid indian (subcontinet) vs. indian (american) puns/jokes. Possibly even to include indian (carribbean).

Westerners are such idiots. 1 of the 4 varna was made exclusively for guys who's dharmic duty was to farking kill people*. The British went to great lengths in the mid- to late 1800s to confiscate guns from the Indians because they had so many of the farkers that the British feared the Indians might try Sepoy Mutiny 2: Electric Vindaloo. And the Mutiny itself was an early version of going postal. "Indians have guns" is right up there with such surprising headlines as "Indians think cows are kinda okay"


* For all you dot/feather bow and arrow guys: Indians liked to use bows also - Arjuna was known for his archery skills

As an American, I find the concept of brown people owning guns to be unsettling.

It's "casino or tech support?" nowadays.

This is India we're talking about here, they'll find a way to put the invading Marines on hold. After about an hour they'll give up and leave

What about the rest of that quote?

"and the American Colt .45 pistol at $6,000 to $8,000, in addition to Italian-made weapons."

Not only are they overpaying, they've got really terrible taste if they're paying 50% more for a Tok than a 1911.

someone call 911, I'm still gagging on this one. Snotty nose, tearing eyes hacking and coughing and laughing like an idiot.

China and India: armed to the teeth, large populations of single men in their teens/twenties, limited real estate... should make for an interesting next decade.

That could do a lot of needful
 
2012-02-21 11:31:14 PM
That's some serious markup. I bet we could make good money exporting guns to India.

I believe the Indians call them "thunder sticks," not guns.

"As gun culture spreads, local governments have offered to fast-track firearms licenses if men have vasectomies."

Wait... so many possibilities here...

No kidding.

Well, India has a very dense population. If you're within arm's reach, a knife can be much more effective.

For some reason, I didn't look at that first picture closely. I only saw the mustache, thought I was reading a quote from Hitler, and was confused as to where this was going.

Well, she's dead now. So, let's try and come up with some new comments that are really witty and current. I know you all can rise to the challenge!

Which is also a bit on the weird side since Russia-India relations were pretty warm and the armed forces historically (and still today) were equipped with Russian and home-made knockoffs of Russian equipment.

Well, in Mandarin, I think it transliterates to "Japan and beyond".

Someone should propose a bill like that in this country.

Not because it would be a good idea, but just to watch the freepers go into apoplectic fits and have to be hospitalized.
