For legal reasons, we are not threatening to destroy U.S. government property with our glorious medieval siege engine. But if we wanted to, we could. But we won’t. But we could.

Damn. I served alongside a Tornado squadron in OSW.

I liked the odd duck look of that airframe.

They took a lot of hits from anti-aircraft guns due to having to attack at low altitudes.
John Nichol was badly treated and made to confess his ''sins'' on Iraqi TV after he and his co-pilot were captured after bailing out.

You can't carry those Glocks without a permit from the police, but the AR is fine, so long as you don't slap a hicap mag in it. You will need a restricted class license for it, but it's $80, one day course, which a trained monkey could pass #security theater
Is 30 rounds considered high capacity?

Yes. Five round capacity limit here. Doesn't impede me tho; double tap, Mozambique drill, change mags, go on.

Realistically, there is no threat in Canada where I would require sustained fire for thirty rounds, much more likely; one shot one kill.

I am pretty sure you didn't lose any Tornadoes to anti-aircraft artillery. Most likely he was shot down by some kind of surface to air missile.

Do the British have an air force? I thought they just had some single engine cessna's that patrol over gay pride parades dropping out confetti and broadcasting the Adhan for all the Caliphate's citizens...

Not a fan, never was. A third generation fighter which was none the less a contemporary of the American fourth generation teen series, the Tornado was a 1960's airframe built in the 1980's, basically a make work project, the RAF could have had F-16's, but they wasted money at that junk instead, Tornado was already obsolete when it was brand new in 1980.
