Lord of War

Lord of war

There are over 550 million firearms in worldwide circulation. That’s one firearm for every twelve people on the planet. The only question is: How do we arm the other 11?

You know who’s going to inherit the world? Arms dealers. Because everyone else is too busy killing each other.

Selling a gun for the first time is a lot like having sex for the first time. You’re excited but you don’t really know what the hell you’re doing. And some way, one way or another, it’s over too fast.

Back then, I didn’t sell to Osama Bin Laden. Not because of moral reasons, but because he was always bouncing checks.

I sell to leftists, and rightists. I sell to pacifists, but they’re not the most regular customers.

The first and most important rule of gun-running is: Never get shot with your own merchandise.

After the Cold War, the AK-47 became Russia’s biggest export. After that came vodka, caviar, and suicidal novelists.
