NATO leaders given gun as parting gift

If that does not confirm the “arms for me and not for thee” elitist reality of it for people, nothing will. Will be interesting to see how each leader deals with it.

MADRID, July 9 (Reuters) - Belgium’s prime minister was a little surprised on landing back home from Wednesday’s NATO summit in Turkey to find that he had a handgun and ammunition in his ​luggage.

After NATO leaders gathered for Wednesday’s in Ankara, their host, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, ‌handed each an unusual parting gift: a vintage revolver, along with live ammunition indicating it was not just for show.
