An island.....
A Conservative, actually........
TW, I was speaking of laws passed by an elected Parliament, and subject to review by a Supreme Court limited by the parameters of a liberal Constitution.....
You know, a modern western democracy.
That's what Israel is......surrounded by medieval loonies. It is like a bright, shining star, an island of hope surrounded by Mordor.............

It is not a matter of having gun control or not having any. We have controls on guns and will continue to have them. Arbitrary rules and rule changes, seizures and threats make it very difficult for law abiding gun owners to sleep at night. If we had sensible rules based on reality we would all be better off. Making .25s and .32s illegal makes no sense. Threats from Miller and McGuinty do not make us safer.

Oh....the media.
I love the media.
Especially after last nights little fiasco on CBC about the French Iroquois alliance.... HA!
Notice the item on the guy that drove heavy equipment over people in Jerusalem? Killed by "off-duty soldiers".
He was killed by a couple of guys in civies carrying personal weapons..........EVERYBODY in Israel is a soldier, but one darenst not suggest an armed citizenry can prevent crime.....
So much for "journalism"
