Gun Control is Completely Useless.

[Curious Cdn]

No, it isn't.

It is 2018, and you are not making any sense.

"Gun powder" also known as "black powder" was retired with the Brown Bess. For 2/3 century, it was replaced by Cordite, which produces far less smoke and far more kinetic energy.

Cordite is a family of smokeless propellants developed and produced in the United Kingdom since 1889 to replace gunpowder as a military propellant. Like gunpowder, cordite is classified as a low explosive because of its slow burning rates and consequently low brisance. These produce a subsonic deflagration wave rather than the supersonic detonation wave produced by brisants, or high explosives. The hot gases produced by burning gunpowder or cordite generate sufficient pressure to propel a bullet or shell to its target, but not so quickly as to routinely destroy the barrel of the gun.

Cordite was replaced by increasingly more efficient propellants after WWII and "gun powder" is a quaint, historic expression used by singin' cowpokes 'round the campfire chawin' tarbakky.

Oh, and by the way, the material in the "fuse end" of a cartridge that explodes when struck is not the same stuff as the powdered (or stranded) propellant that sits behind the bullet

Of course not. He falls outside your childishly simple worldview, so your mind is not capable of recognizing his existence.

Hey, I haven't heard of him either which kind of demolishes your explanation!

 

[Hoid]

Look at all those people speeding!

Making speed limits that criminals do not follow is a waste of time and money for the rest of us!

this new gun powder issue is refreshing.

it can take the place of what is or isn't an assault weapon.

But they are two distinct categories. And the biggest problem is laws intended to control criminals and crazies are enforced on normal law abiding citizens at great expense and contributing very little to the intended result.
Also bear in mind this is a Canadian forum and our laws are already much stricter than most states and we still have regular shootings with mostly unregistered handguns. Most of our laws appear to have been written by a career bureaucrat that never owned a hunting file or shotgun.

You appear to be overlooking one very important point and that is the fact that Canadian gun death rates are much lower than those in the US, so something is working here.

Not working too well in Surrey.

Or Abbotsford for that matter , but no one cares because they are just expendable brown people .

If two drug dealers shoot each other is it still a gun crime?

ROTFLMAO, according to your own post, Cordite has become 'quaint', too.

Yup. Quaint and obsolete. I don't have to worry about semi-literate "manly men" spouting off about Cordite as most of you appear to know zip & zero about history.

"Gun powder" ... you see, I have a lot to do with re-enactors who have real Brown Bess muskets and who actually use gunpowder (I have even made it from time to time) and reading some self-prockaimed firearms expert blather about it is pretty funny.

... and you think that you are qualified to arm the whole populace?

He was the punk who shot the Moncton Mounties. It happened in a country called Canada, which I suppose you've never heard of either.

This may come as a bit of a shock to you but I think Canada is slightly more memorable than Justin Bourge.

Not me, I don't think you should be armed.

I'm qualified, but I can't afford it. Not even Canaduh's populace.

But only because of Celine Dion.

But only because of Celine Dion.

You do understand that we planted Celine Dion in the US as a ploy to get greater leverage in trade negotiations, right?

 

[pgs]

You should see my collection of clay,ore mines .

 

[Curious Cdn]

Well, I don't think that you should be, either unless you are serving in our Armned Forces or in a police force and I suspect that you have "bone spurs" and will never do either. With a little luck, someone will take your guns away, some day and make this a better country.

That's a genius comment. How does Surrey compare to Seattle?

You'd get full agreement from my wife on that. :lol:

INSANE CRIMINALS WANT TO TAKE YOUR GUNS AWAY IN THE FACE OF ALL THE LIES THEY TELL YOU TO DO IT.


London murders overtake New York - stabbings surge

London (AFP) - A surge of stabbings in London was blamed Monday for the city overtaking New York's monthly murder tally for the first time in modern history.

Fifteen people were murdered in London during February, compared to 14 in New York, according to police figures.

The British capital also suffered 22 fatal stabbings and shootings in March, higher than the 21 in New York.

There have been 10 fatal stabbings in London in the last 19 days, following on from the 80 fatal stabbings recorded in the city last year.

SO: IF guns are illegal in Britain, the obvious question is: is where are these criminals getting their guns???
( I know at one gun amnesty in TORONTO the cops were busted selling those guns back out onto the street. )

I guess they will be coming for the butter knives next...and then the jail toothbrushes won't be far behind that either.

What the nazicommies really want though is they figure that if no one but them have all the money and guns, there won't be any crime amongst the peoples ( who will have nothing to steal), especially after they kill off all the intelligentsia for things like wearing glasses.

Well, I don't think that you should be, either unless you are serving in our Armned Forces or in a police force and I suspect that you have "bone spurs" and will never do either. With a little luck, someone will take your guns away, some day and make this a better country.

DON'T LISTEN TO HIM TALK!!!!!
Here is the actual REALITY ( PICS or it didn't happen) of what occurs once they get your guns:

(The killing fields of Cambodia...after ALL the guns were taken away.)

NOW, THAT'S A BETTER COUNTRY!!!
Say...what happened to all the gold teeth?
