Responsible Gun Owners Not So Much, Typical!

[CDNBear]

It's okay... common sense may not be common, but if everyone just sits their kids down for ten minutes of training on how to handle guns, mistakes will never happen and all will be well with the world. *grin*

Yep, from the age of 5 I was trained on the safe use of firearms.

The first thing I was tought, don't touch.

Then came the lesson on safeties. There's three...

1, The most important. Your head.
2, Your finger.
3, The one on the weapon.

If number one works, the others are built in redundancy.

Yeah, because teaching is what parents should do. Even if you have to get off the couch to do it.

My first gun was a sweet little .22 cooey single shot at age 8. and after the usual lessons like don't point at anyting you dont intend to shoot and since there was no such thing as practise rounds....my first aim and squeeze practice was dry firing with an empty shell in the barrel so as not to damage the firing pin.
That cooey is one of the safest first guns you can get, with no safety... even if you put a bullet in the chamber and lock in the bolt, you still have to manualy pull back the rear part of the bolt to cock it.

As for Colpy, he has lost any credibility he might have had once he mentioned having his AK47 taken off him by the authorities. Like you can have one of those. Give me a break.

Actually untill a few years ago it was perfectly legal to own a fully automatic rifle. Silly law abiding people like colpy registered their restricted weapons. Then a few years later the Liberal government of the day made them prohibited weapons and of course they now knew where most of them were. Legally purchased and registered private property was all of a sudden confiscated without compensation just to buy a few votes in Toronto. And you wonder why we do not trust the Liberals and want to remove the long gun registry?

I gave the one I owned to my son when he was about 12. We still have it.

I don't know how any of the kids our age managed to survive in the wreckless world of go out and play but be home for dinner. Why I remember my parents smoking in the car with the windows up and the AC on while I played around going from the front to the back seats.

And lawn dart football.

Nothing like weeding out the weakest links with a good old fashioned game of lawn dart football.

Maybe that's why I just don't have the fear of meeting up with the notorious Sh!t Tzu in a Home Depot.

Does anyone else find it ironic that this argument has come around to the right to stick your nose in where it doesn't belong? lol

U.N. Agreement Should Have All Gun Owners Up In Arms

Jun. 7 2011 - 2:04 pm

It may not come as surprising news to many of you that the United Nations doesn’t approve of our Second Amendment. Not one bit. And they very much hope to do something about it with help from some powerful American friends. Under the guise of a proposed global “Small Arms Treaty” premised to fight “terrorism”, “insurgency” and “international crime syndicates” you can be quite certain that an even more insidious threat is being targeted – our Constitutional right for law-abiding citizens to own and bear arms.
What, exactly, does the intended agreement entail?
While the terms have yet to be made public, if passed by the U.N. and ratified by our Senate, it will almost certainly force the U.S. to:

1. Enact tougher licensing requirements, creating additional bureaucratic red tape for legal firearms ownership.
2. Confiscate and destroy all “unauthorized” civilian firearms (exempting those owned by our government of course).
3. Ban the trade, sale and private ownership of all semi-automatic weapons (any that have magazines even though they still operate in the same one trigger pull – one single “bang” manner as revolvers, a simple fact the ant-gun media never seem to grasp).
4. Create an international gun registry, clearly setting the stage for full-scale gun confiscation.
5. In short, overriding our national sovereignty, and in the process, providing license for the federal government to assert preemptive powers over state regulatory powers guaranteed by the Tenth Amendment in addition to our Second Amendment rights.

Yeah.

The Conservative Canadian gov't has been delaying new marking requirements agreed to at the UN by the previous Liberal gov't........indeed, much of the UN push to disarm the people has been spearheaded by Canada..........

Hopefully, the new Conservative majority will thumb their nose at the UN yet again, as ALL the UN cares about is stability.....not freedom.

I don't think you have much to fear in the USA............it is a different matter here.

You are being too polite Colpy. The UN is not interested in stability, rather like all bureaucracies it is solely interested in growth. The UN has become a huge non elected body of foreign control freaks that somehow think they can dictate what we can do and believe.

As much as I usually condemn gun use, I think I'm going to let this one go and watch the natural consequences of our actions determine what the outcome is. Screw it. I say let people enjoy their freedom to own guns as long as the registration process is reasonable and fair.

The only "reasonable and fair" registration process is a non-existent registration process.

Coming soon for long guns in Canada....

(Sorry, couldn't resist....It is so nice to finally win one on the gun control front)

At this point, I really don't give a crap anymore. We'll get some new prisons for the nutjobs anyway.

So I guess it will be pretty easy to buy and gun and then simply sell it to a criminal without having to worry about someone picking up the trail on you. You can always say it must have been stolen. I guess you were right Colpy, the Criminals will have guns no matter what. I just didn't think the government would be so quick to help them out with it.

 

[cranky]

What a worthless arguement. I could say a registered gun was stolen, as well.

 

[Unforgiven]

More trolling. How pathetic.

 

[Johnnny]

Bad people use guns in a bad way

Drunk people use cars in a irresponsible way

Most of the time both these situations lead to death or destruction. Just because some people are terrible with their tools doesnt mean we all are monsters. Come on people... Some buddy shooting recklessly at a gun range is being just as reckless as buddy who is street racing.

Yeah so that is why we have a graduated licence system in many provinces now, that all vehicles have to be registered, insured and safety inspected, not to mention emissions tested. If you loan you car to someone and they smash it up, it's your liability if they are unqualified to drive and your insurance that pays for the problems it causes to others.

Street racing when you're caught results in having your car taken away along with your licence, massive fines and often the permanent loss of your licence.

So it's not really the same at all.

 

[cranky]

More trolling. How pathetic.

Hmmm.....did you think I was implying that you were "worthless"?

I am sorry that you feel that way.

I have correctly used the word "worthless"

The arguement wasn't wrong or false. And, I have no reason to disagree with it.

However, it applies to both registered and unregistered guns, so it is "worthless".

Feel better yet? I hope so.
