Gun Control is Completely Useless.

Not a relevant reply..... personal innuendos do not really work as counter argument.

Calm down Bluebyrd, just because you inferred it as an innuendo does not mean that it was implied.

An innuendo is when you say something as a subtle reference to something else - usually derogatory or suggestive.

For example, a male customer is in the produce section of the grocery store and asks the female employee if he can "squeeze her melons".

A metaphor is a comparison of two things that seemingly have nothing in common (without using the words "like" or "as".

For example, the phrase "A blue pill law[ie canadian gun control law]...."

LOL yeah like decent gun laws!!

Every country has problems of one sort or another and if there is a decent democratic government and reasonably educated citizens, most problems are solved through making their elected representative aware of what they feel needs fixing. Oh and of course limiting the amount a candidate running for office can spend on his/her election.

DEcent gun laws are what we have been fighting for for decades. Not the repressive ones various liberal governments have forced on us. As it stands criminals currently have more rights than homeowners. ANd that is just wrong.

Bull.....What you and a few others feel are DECENT gun laws, most Canadians feel we already have. What rights do you think criminals have?? The only way they get guns in Canada is through buying them illegally after they have been smuggled into the country or stealing them from gun owners who do not lock them up properly.

That is innuendo ...if you had phrased it differently you might get away with it but you did not say "When the blue law was passed" but " when a blue law is passed."
Most people do not think of laws as colourful.

A decent law must be carefully designed to achieve the objective in question. They must not be arbitrary, unfair or based on irrational considerations. In short, they must be rationally connected to the objective.

Second, the means, even if rationally connected to the objective in this first sense, should impair "as little as possible" the right or freedom in question.

Third, there must be a proportionality between the effects of the measures which are responsible for limiting the Charter right or freedom, and the objective which has been identified as of "sufficient importance".

That is innuendo ...if you had phrased it differently you might get away with it but you did not say "When the blue law was passed" but " when a blue law is passed."

Don't be silly. I didn't give you any innuendo.

The red pill and its opposite, the blue pill, are popular culture symbols representing the choice between embracing the sometimes painful truth of reality (red pill) and the blissful ignorance of illusion (blue pill).

I suppose to you a blue pill might be a birth control pill or a sleeping pill. But you would be absolutely wrong because in the context of this thread, I had already framed a blue pill law as a Canadian gun control law that is passed after we had already achieved a wonderfully low crime rate. In other words, it is a useless law that makes ignorant people feel good.

With any luck you'll get to use it soon. Guns aren't for lookin' at now are they?
Who do you want to kill? Anyone special or just whoever?

Anywhere near a consensus yet?


Well the facts are in. You be the judge.
Tell us all about it.

And remember everyone.

Well, yeah they are for lookin' at, just like some cars and other collectibles, a decent Colt doesn't come up for sale often in this country. And yes, I do hope to use it soon, and so do the missus, daughter and son-in-law, but to punch holes in paper.

Good luck goin' bar huntin' with that. You'll just piss off the bar.


What kind of "bar"? Iron? Dive? Or the Davey Crockett kind?

The Crockett kind, of course.

BTW, I used to shoot a Browning 9mm from time to time. ... never at a bar!

Daniel Boone, actually. There's a tree in what is now Tennessee with the following carved on it:

"D Boon cilled a bar on this tree in year 1760"

Hear'd he killed him a bar when he was only three, as the song goes. Or was that Crockett, can't remember.

I wouldn't shoot a bar with a .45 auto either, unless it was my last or only choice.
