The first battle of the American Revolution was fought between British soldiers sent into the countryside to seize arms.....and farmers who refused to surrender them.
The Brits lost.

That incident should solidify public opinion in favour of the death penalty. Long live Old Sparky. (We could use his brother up here too)
No. Because they are only shooting each other up "on a daily basis" in the inner cities, where the culture is fatherless boys and gangsta heroes.
Actually, go back to a thread called Gun Control is Completely Useless http://forums.canadiancontent.net/canadian-politics/49782-gun-control-completely-useless-49.html and look at the stats.....you'll find that in comparable cultures (Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba compared with North Dakota, Montana and Minnesota) the lower murder rate is in the place where guns are permitted, encouraged, carried, and unrestricted............
The evidence is very clear....
Hey....I hope I never see the day when a Canadian can waltze into a store on the side of the road and buy a gun, for what ever reason, without a meaningfull back ground check.
And I don't have a problem with the requirement for a firearms licence....or perhaps I should say I am willing to compromise to a reasonable extent. Training and a background check before a licence is issues....not a problem with me.
What I do have a problem with is registration, classification of guns into "good" and "banned" categories for no discernable reason, the Firearms Act which is a radical invasion of privacy, and removes the right not to bear witness against yourself, the right to be free from unreasonable search, and the right to be considered innocent until proven guilty.......and the absolute ban on firearms for defense.....just for starters.....
If we had some enforceable laws about using any weapon to commit a crime there would be less need for an armed population. But since we have a joke of a justice system run by sob-sisters that would rather let murderers out to reoffend rather than executing them the first time everyone needs to be able to protect themselves and their property.
It has ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with people learning or not learning anything. It has everything to do with there being one cowardly, heinous nut case among us. Statistically speaking (there we go again, S.J) sh*t like this happens once in a blue moon. Next week maybe a cop will get eaten by a wolf or a plumber might get mauled by a shark. SH*T HAPPENS.
Have you ever noticed that the Mafia is hardly ever mentioned any more? That is because in the seventies they raised their kids to be lawyers and politicians. You figure out from there why we have such an ineffective legal system and so many crooks in parliament.
I just pointed out how useless they are for defense. Unless you walk the streets with your gun in hand and pointed where ever you walk they aren't worth jack squat for defense. As long as the factories keep churning out these dumb instruments they'll get into every bad hand with ease. But hey, it's the old founding fathers routine and wearing the flag over the heart, and all that other bs, that will ensure people continue to kill each other.
Just like I state in a thread I started and lampooned for it.
Why do blacks commit more crime per capita in the U.S.?
It's cultural and social.
No gun has ever got up and killed someone all on it's own.
I was in England last year, and they have banned guns, but in the paper eveyday someone was getting stabbed.....do they now ban knives?
Silly.
Right, the gun didn't do it alone.
Keep in mind in England the police are not armed either, ambush is possible.
So are you saying guns would save the lives of armed afficers in England?
You are so so wrong in this Kreskin......
Tell me, if guns are useless for self-defense, why do cops carry them?????
Or armoured car guards?????

I carried a gun to defend myself for 11 years.......and taught others armed self-defense. Believe, handguns are a very effective defensive tool.
