Open season on all trophy hunters. Guns would be useful for that.

Most mass shootings in the US involve assault rifles so banning them is what most people are concerned with. Hand guns are restricted in Canada already. You really can't shot someone even if they are in your house, so self defense is not even legal in Canada, which is really stupid. Hunting for food is good but killing trophy animals is killing off the breeding stock which is essential to healthy herds, so not only is it stupid but is contributing to the decline of those herds.
Anyway, the whole gun issue is totally fukkedf up because most humans are totally fukked up. I mean, just look at our politics.

Those 400,000,000 guns will be lying around in the rubble after the morons have destroyed themselves with them.


Despite your delusional fantasies, that is completely unrealistic.


The murder rate in the USA is significantly lower than the world average.


Reality is an interesting and wonderful thing, you should check it out.

Is this true - maybe an overstatement? (not looking for an argument, just clarification). My assumption is that 1) you can't legally shoot someone just because they're in your house, but 2) Self defense is a valid legal argument no matter where the incident occurs.
the whole gun issue is totally fukkedf up because most humans are totally fukked up.
I think you got that exactly right.

Tecumsehsbones, you're on my ignore list but Hoid responded to your post and I opened it to see what it was about. Having read it I feel it deserves a response to at least two of your comments:
1. I'm not aware of anyone, on the forum or elsewhere, who wants to 'ban guns' or make "private possession of firearms completely illegal". If there are such persons here I invite them to make themselves, and their reason for such an extreme attitude, known to the rest of us. I suspect they would be a vanishingly small minority. More likely you're just setting up straw men with a pretend agenda to argue against.
2. I don't really care about more guns coming into the U.S.
Yes, you've made your indifference very clear. Y'all have a real fine evening now, hear?

You mean, if we arm every man, woman and child in Canada with multiple weapoms, we'll lower our murder rate down to those lowest-of-the-low American levels?

Sigh.


No. The US rate is typically around 3 times our rate, and has been that way for at least half a century. The comparative rate has remained the same, while we have had (in that time) three very restrictive new laws passed (the last in 1995) and the Americans have actually started letting civilians carry.............and let the Assault Weapons Bill of the 1990s die, and while the number of firearms in the country has not only increased, it has multiplied (unlike Canada, where the number of guns has dropped)


And the USA is far from a failing nation. it is the most powerful, the most successful nation on the face of the earth.

I'll give you "most powerful," but success is a multi-faceted thing. We do well in some areas. In others, not so much.

Good grief, that was my very thought. I may read a few more of your posts; or was this just a brief moment of lucidity? Maybe I'll give 'y'all' down there the benefit of my admitted doubt :).

Oh, he's all there. He's just tuckered out at the end of another day of chasing ambulances around.

Speaking as I do for all gun banners - the collection of guns would be an ongoing task.It would obviously never be completely done.

As far as stopping them from entering the US you could just start calling them "mexicans".




POOR STUPID HOID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


He IGNORES the reality that about 25 percent of guns ARE BEING MADE ILLEGALLY in Canada!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


HOID does not wish to discuss the gun making shop that was raided recently by cops in Toronto!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Criminals are like rats and LIE-berals....................


if you see one out in public.................................


it means there are dozens more hidden away out of sight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Criminal control makes for a safer society!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


LIE-beral gun control and EMPTY USELESS WORDS on the subject make LIE-berals feel good.............................................


without them losing votes or having to WASTE THEIR GRAVY.............................................


on our safety!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have two questions the gun-banners haven't been able to answer yet. Maybe one of the gun-banners here can. . .
There are about 400,000,000 guns in private hands in the U.S. Assuming you can pass a law making private possession of firearms completely illegal:
What are you going to do about those guns?
How will you stop more guns from coming into the U.S.?
Same applies to Canada, though I realize the numbers are nowhere near as high up yonder.
Even with our oppressive gun laws the banners can't even keep criminals from having guns. I do admit they have a better chance of stealing all the ligitimate guns.

Certain idiots like you should have to rely on armed police officers unless you recant your rants.

While he MAY be able to recant his rants, I doubt if he can recant the truth about him being an idiot! :)
It's a whole new group folks - rantrecantists. Stand by for learned comments about rantrecantism.
