Kenyan Police Destroy a bunch of C&R's

[Jimja]

I was browsing the photos of the week on The Atlantic and this photo stood out. The Description reads:

"A pile of 5,250 illegal weapons are burned by Kenyan police in Ngong, near Nairobi, Kenya, on November 15, 2016. The weapons consisted of both confiscated and surrendered firearms that had been stockpiled over almost a decade and were destroyed by police as a message to the public to surrender others"

Looks like there are some nice C&R's in there, bunch of Enfields which would make sense as Kenya is a former British Colony. Looks like some Mausers as well, AK's and I think I see an SKS

Too bad they had to destroy them, would have been great if we had a chance to buy/import some of these and save them from destruction

Here is the photo:

geez, did they build a big enough fire?

[Ugly Hombre]

Should have sold them to legal arms dealers and shipped them to the USA.

Use the money to help the Kenyan people.

Barry probably put them up to it.

The display of stupidity, if not the mere childishness of it, is impressive. But this is what tyranny does. Had Hillary won, we might have even seen a few displays of this ourselves within our borders.

I easily see a couple of 1903's in there that look rather decent.

What is a fire gonna do to an M2.....it's an all-metal gun....unless the fire gets hot enough, it'll be fine.

I thought the same about the aks, som are made of mostly metal like the amd

Lots of #1mk3s, a couple of #4s, SKSs, but also some hammer shotguns and what appears to be very expensive pre-war commercial Mauser large game rifles. Kenya destroying its heritage in the name of political correctness and 'good optics'.

HK21 there at the bottom, and G3's mixed in.
Too bad, could have made some money selling parts to the Americans.

An HK21!!!!!! Fack

What appears to be a H&H Double rifle lower tier. Many evil air rifles, And several high dollar Anschutz 22 target guns.

There is a Kenyan ly'n in DC that would like to do the same here.
