The Brimstone is a derivative of the Hellfire missile . It’s designed to take out vehicles and it does very accurately.

As to radicalised youth – the simple answer is for ISIS to lay down their weapons and surrender. That would end the recruitment.

I cannot see that happening so we will have to bomb them until they do.

Personally I think the cluster bomb would be my weapon of choice, but then again I don’t give crap about collateral damage.

Yes I’d agree with that but my impression is that there was minimal reporting on live TV news.

There was no minimal reporting on live TV news, Charlie there was none at all, and one of my friends in Germany says this sort of thing is happening all over Europe we are just not being allowed to see it.

I wonder how true this is, they might be going to a football match for all I know.

With massive crowds as large as 170,000 strong, Polish patriots marched through their capital to demand an end to Islamic immigration — the “largest demonstration in Polish history.”

Poland isn’t just going to take the Islamization of Europe without a fight. They are sick and tired of letting their culture be stolen away from them…so this is what they did.

Did you hear about this on CNN? You did not, because they completely censored it from American eyes, lest they be inspired to stand up against Obama’s sinister plans to import up to 200,000 so-called “Syrian refugees”, despite the FBI’s warning that the Feds can’t properly screen them.

The issues are exactly the same with ‘ISIS / ISIL’; they are not going to be defeated by taking their weapons, because weapons are (apparently) very easy to obtain (even in Europe), they are going to be defeated by persuading them, or those that they influence into carrying-out these atrocities, that they don’t want to use any weapons (guns, home-made bombs, cars or kitchen-knives) against us…

…and that’s not going to be so easy.[/QUOTE]

No it’s going to be impossible, in my opinion.

I think you’ll find that the IRA are out of the terrorism business and have put their weapons ‘beyond use’. There are splinter-groups such as the ‘Real IRA’ or ‘Continuity IRA’ (and I’m no expert) but these groups would have to be out of their minds to supply ‘ISIS / ISIL’ with weapons; no matter how much money they got for supplying weapons that would certainly be offset by the negative publicity these groups would receive if weapons were traced back to them after an atrocity such as was carried-out in Paris recently.

I don’t have any proof that the IRA would/could supply other terrorist groups with weapons, just the same as you have no proof that they are out of the terrorism game, to think that they have put all their guns out of action is to me a massive leap of faith, when you state that they still have splinter groups, these groups will probably be made up out of old guard IRA members.

Actually, I didn’t forget Northern Ireland or the Republic of Ireland; I think that forty years of ‘the troubles’ in Ireland have probably made Ireland one of the hardest places in Europe to get hold of an AK-47 (or an Armalite), at least without arousing the suspicion of the Security Forces (on either side of the border).

The IRA may have had many hundreds of weapons but then they’ve obviously been collecting them for decades and are, or were, a fairly well organised and funded organisation. The IRA certainly didn’t carry-out the sort of ‘suicide’ attack that the terrorists in Paris carried-out, and which are perhaps more suited to an AK-47, but then the ‘ISIS / ISIL’ terrorists aren’t limited by their need to get away afterwards.

I don’t think the IRA would have a problem selling a few weapons to ISIS, if the price was right.

I thought that was the Armalite?

Having said that Brendan O’Brien (The journalist, not the pilot) estimated 600 AK47 in the hands of the IRA in 1997

Moggy

I think they got a lot of weapons from Libya.

How easy is it to get hold of a AK-47 in France; are they legal?

If this terrorist attack had happened in London the press would be full of ‘where did they get the weapons’? Thanks to ‘schengen’ there are effectively no borders so the terrorists could obtain their weapons from the country where it is easiest to do so. I’m not sure where that would be: Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Bulgaria, Rumania, Poland?

You forgot to mention North/South of Ireland, the preferred weapon of the IRA, who I suspect still have a few knocking about.
