What a difference a few years makes. Remember when eveyone in the shipping business said they didn't want merchant vessels armed because it would force an arms race with the pirates?

 

Well, turns out for all the warships in the area, Cunard believes their armed guards has solved the problem.

The only way to stop a bad man with a gun, is a good man with a gun.

Just seems like common sense. A cargo worth in the millions of dollars and why not spend a few dollars on some "contractors" to protect the cargo.

You mean what we knew from the beginning of time still holds true. I thought the liberals legislated away bad men.

I really don't know why they just didn't make that area a Gun Free Zone, wouldn't that have solved the problem??

I remember the way the Russians handled the Pirate problem.... Put them back in the boat.....modify the boat with some artillery.....sail away. Press release quotes "Russian navy captures pirate boat,after an extensive search for weapons,suspected pirates and their boat were released".

Then a week later a video of the" Modification and release" was leaked on some video sharing sites the Somali's were known to watch. As far as I know a Russian owned ship was never attacked again.

Very good. But nothing like advertising Jewelry with a big arse sign. (Scratching head)...

Isn't pirating illegal under international maritime law? Maybe they should just make the punishments stricter and add additional legislation to make it even more illegal. We can't have private vessels armed. It will be a blood bath on the high seas, and you will see ships just out there going after other ships. Nobody needs things like machine guns or assault weapons. This is just common sense.

Coumo and Fienstien could not figure out how to keep the signs from sinking...

 

The signs are still on the bottom of their tub's...
