I just bought a .357 magnum revolver (waiting for delivery). Eight shots, rapid reload capability with "moon clips." I'm going to make it my standard, always-loaded-and-ready "house gun," in place of my current .40 calibre Glock (15 rounds in the clip, extra clips of 22 rounds).

Nobody is seriously proposing banning revolvers. Do you seriously believe I can't defend my home with a massively powerful, rapidly reloaded revolver?

There are people that are serious about banning revolvers in Canada. Out on the lunatic fringe there are people that want all guns banned. Whether anyone takes them seriously or not is a different matter.

Why do some Americans think that the solution to the problem of too many guns is to add guns to places where they haven't been before. What's next, arming daycare staff?

Unless you can figure out a way to disarm the crazies and criminals, then yes. Putting more restrictions on law abiding people is not going to solve the problem.

Why don't I see any of this shoot-en-up shit in my World around me? Maybe, it's just a Western Canadian thing or maybe it's a foreign import thing and maybe, you guys are a bunch of wannabees and you're making up the petceived dangers to play out your fantasies.

Live in Surrey for a while. Or a remote farm on the prarries.

Damn... you're armed.

I never liked the .357. I had the opportunity to fire it once though.

For home invasion, I've put more thought into which walls I can take them out through before ever setting eyes on them.

I don't care what it is if it's in my house my 30-30 will take care of it.

It doesn't judge.

It prefers Injuns, tho. Two out of three Stubble Jumpers prefer to shoot Injuns, lest they commit a crime, someday. They sawed it on TV.
