This chart is not allowed. It makes one assume that a certain group is more likely to commit crimes, whereas we all know it's due to our racist beliefs.

Guns are a plague on mankind. They are the source of all violence in our modern world. Can you imagine how peaceful the world would be if guns didn’t exist? Well, you don’t have to imagine. There was such a time; it’s called our distant past.


In the long, long ago, people lived in harmony. They had no choice but to, as they had nothing to shoot each other with. Theoretically, they had bows and arrows, but if you’ve ever actually tried to use one, they’re basically impossible to hit anything with. So if they had a problem, they just talked things out. If things got really heated, they’d settle things with a riddle competition. And men were respectful to women, as there were no guns to enhance toxic masculinity. Also, politicians only ever did the will of the people since there was no NRA to buy them off. And no one knew anything about war, because how would you have a war without guns? Throw rocks at each other? Who could haul that many rocks to a battlefield? It’s impractical.

Life was basically as peaceful as a John Lennon song or a Communist country.

This all changed, though, when the inventor of guns (Bob Gun, I believe) created guns in his racism laboratory while trying to find ways to enhance racism. Since then, gun deaths have increased infinity-fold, from zero to more than zero. And there have been violence, murder, and, admittedly, some very entertaining John Wick movies. Also, think of all the wars since then. World War I. World War II. World War: Vietnam. World War: Desert Heat. And the World War prequel, World War Stories: The Civil War.

It’s no exaggeration to say things are now a million billion times more violent than before guns were invented. It’s past time to get rid of all the guns and go back to how peaceful and nice everyone was in ancient history. It won’t end all conflicts, but it will get pretty close. We’ll just have to think of some good riddles to stave off invasion.

FYI (just for fun)



The historian Laurence Stone calculated that homicide levels in medieval England were at least 10 times what they are today. Certainly, we cannot doubt that it was a dangerous time in which to live. An exceptional case, even by medieval standards, is provided by 14th‑century Oxford. Levels of violence there were considered unacceptably high by contemporaries: in the 1340s, the homicide rate was around 110 per 100,000. (In the UK in 2011, it was 1 per 100,000.)

110 per 100,000 in Medieval England. Must have been all those guns.


For Comparison (per 100,000)


UK: 1.2


Canada: 1.8


USA: 5.3 (most guns)


El Salvador: 61.8 (highest murder rate on earth)

The one downside to that being the necessity to resort to strangulation to kill big game. (a rock wouldn't do it)

Congrats Colpy for proving you didn't read the entire post, you just got as far as it took for something to make you ragey and stopped right there.
I'm a gun owner myself. I believe that responsible citizens should have the right to own guns.
Key word, "responsible."
Americans have the right to own guns. But ownership of a gun DOESN'T mean you win all the arguments. A gun isn't license to intimidate others or overthrow the government whenever you please.
So... now what?

So go after the criminals. Leave law abiding citizens alone and quit trying to change the laws to make them criminals.

I suggest you read the source if you haven't already.



As it is, the person who wrote it is more qualified to comment about the issue than you.

Wow, you seem to be one of these small minority of people able to evaluate other's knowledge and ability. That assumption will often bite you in the ass! :)

NO HARRY..........................................


DIana WAS NOT A ROYAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


She was a Commoner with some sort of relatively famous family..............................


AS SUCH SHE DID REPRESENT NEW BLOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


And WE SEE THE CLEAR RESULT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Harry his brother are stronger minded and more independent than their uncles and aunts of the previous generation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


One has only to look at the struggles of Prince Edward........................................


or the difficulties of Princess Ann in the royal pressure cooker to realize the need for a more grounded life style........................


meaning one NOT SO HIDEBOUND IN TRADITION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


In other news.........................................


OVER SIXTY PERCENT OF CDNS AGREE WITH MY SUGGESTION................................


THAT WE APPOINT HARRY TO BE GOVERNOR GENERAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


It will give him some work.......................................


and some honest income.....................................


and will FILL AN ESSENTIAL CDN POLITICAL POSITION..................................


WITHOUT THE BOTHER OF ANY NEW EXPENSES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


STUPID LIE-berals are keen to drop the Monarchy from Cdn politics....................................


BUT AS ALWAYS LIE-berals LIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


OTHER COUNTRIES that are republics- meaning they HAVE NO ROYAL FAMILY................................


ALL HAVE INSTEAD BOTH A PRESIDENT AND A PRIME MINISTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


France and Germany fit that bill................................


as does Poland and the Czech republic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


There is NO GRAVY TO BE SAVED BY DUMPING THE MONARCHY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


BUT THERE IS LIE-beral opportunity to create NEW LIE-beral political positions...............................


and to weaken the power of parliament by dividing up responsibility between parliament and new President!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


LIE-beral enthusiasm for a Cdn republic is nothing more than..............................................


an elaborate ELECTORAL REFORM AND VOTE RIGGING SCAM!!!!!!!!

Quite possibly the best 'response' for the current "protest" going on in Richmond.


Jim Wright

Since I'm getting mail:
As noted here many times: I'm a gun owner myself. In fact, I'm a professionally trained firearms instructor who taught both military and civilian shooters for more than 30 years.
Right now I'm sitting in my office about 5 feet from two gun safes.
I spent most of my adult life in uniform, sworn to defend the Constitution. I served in peace and in multiple wars. There aren't many weapons I'm not qualified on or haven't used.
I spent my life in places where gun ownership is common, for military reasons, for sport, for defense.
I know a fair bit about firearms; their history, theory and, design; their construction; their use in all types of situations from the battlefield to the sporting range; their maintenance; how to handle them safely; how to keep them secure when not in use. It was my job and the military spent a hell of a lot of money training me in detail and then keeping my knowledge, experience, and training current for more than 20 years.
I'm a gun owner myself. I believe that responsible citizens should have the right to own guns.
Key word, "responsible."
Americans have the right to own guns. But ownership of a gun DOESN'T mean you win all the arguments. A gun isn't license to intimidate others or overthrow the government whenever you please.
The 2nd Amendment is for defense of the Republic, NOT nullification of democracy.
As gun fanatics are wont to point out: A gun is tool. It can be used for good or evil. Guns don't kill people, people kill people.
If you believe that's true then you must likewise admit a gun can't threaten others by itself either.
Terrorism requires a human operator.
And that's what those marching in Richmond today don't get. To them, might makes right, they WANT you to be intimidated. Afraid. Cowed.
THAT's terrorism.
Ironic, given the Constitution they claim to defend was designed specifically to prevent that very thing.
What those in Richmond apparently can't understand is this: If it wasn't for their fanatical obsession with guns, their endless threats of violence and their attempts to intimidate both citizens and government, there would be no reason for the very laws they oppose.

SERRYAH SPEWS FOOLISH NONSENSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


If those gun owners had wanted to intimidate.......................


they would NOT have lined up quietly and marched in a peaceful way.....................


and listened to various speakers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I want to point out that I do think that there is NO NEED for Yankee style gun laws here in Canada AT THIS TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Our society is still relatively peaceful and the idea that somebody - such as the Yankee woman interviewed on the evening news


telling us she always CARRIES HER PISTOL even when grocery shopping



is simply NOT the kind of social situation we want to develop!!!!!!!!!!!!


On the other hand - it is CLEAR that the Cdn legal system is IN GRAVE DANGER of sliding over


INTO YANKEE STYLE CHAOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


It has been over 30 years since my Mom stopped her car at a red light in Toronto



and 2 black guys opened the car door and tried to shove her out!!!!!!!!!!!!


Mom isnt the sort to take crap laying down and grabbed a long handled ice scraper and started flailing away


while at the same time hitting the gas to go flying through the intersection and escape!!!!!!!


LIE-beral hug a thug judges are THE GREATEST MOTIVATOR FOR PEOPLE TO BUY GUNS!!!!!!!!!
