Its an interesting story but I don't see how it applies here.

People who own handguns will lose money?


This guy did. The sale of this collection would have been a substantial chunk of his retirement. Overnight they had no monetary value. He was not compensated for that loss. They just became worthless with the swipe of a pen.

Ban overnight all handguns and whatever is eventually determined to be 'assault weapons' that non-criminals have purchased and what becomes of their property? They can't use them any longer and they can't sell them? Then what?

Lets use your analogy of a 'sports car' (whatever that is). Lets say that any vehicle with more than 200hp that isn't registered commercially becomes a 'sports car' as a definition and the gov't (for your own good and the safety of the public) decides to make them illegal overnight with a swipe of a pen, and you own three of these vehicles (two of them that you're still making payments on). Overnight they have no monetary value and you can't use them or license them or sell them. Then what? Do you happily turn them over to a smelter or the Police or whatever with zero compensation? Would you be upset? Would the bank say that you're absolved of the balance of your debt on the two that you're still making payments on? Does this sound farfetched or just something that hasn't happened yet?

What's a 'sports car?' It's whatever you're told that it is on the list.....right?

You should be a poster boy for the NRA. You're singing their song about the idiocy of misdirected gun control.
Get one of the 'survivalists' to do the posters, ones that shot off some part of their own body are the ones that make the best 'teachers'.
Bear attack victims for the 'when not to offer assistance other than a painkiller OD. There is no recover after your face has been bitten off.

I'm sorry but I don't really care if gun owners lose money.


I'm not a gun owner, nor have I even been, and most likely never will be. I'm just trying to look at the bigger picture and it is what it is. Anyway, it's getting late in this time zone so I'm pretty much done for one night. This was entertaining. I was just flabbergasted earlier with the whole "If it's on a list then that's what it is" comment and that opens the door for so much abuse by the authorities regardless if we're talking about handguns or sports cars or assault weapons (whatever definition is used for the last to things).

If you could find a way to impact the criminals and not harm those that are the law abiding, I'd be right on side with you, but not at the expense of those that haven't done anything wrong.

To me the bigger picture is all the people that want a handgun ban - not those few people who don't want it.

....and what gets lumped in with it? Outside of the cities with a population of a million+ you might be surprised on the vote results.

I wan't to see the criminals disarmed and not the common law abiding citizens. Come up with a plan to disarm the criminals first and the winds might blow your way. Right now, aren't you curious about the opposition to your position by those that don't even own a firearm?

I want to see illegal smuggling snuffed out on our leaky boarder regarding handguns. I want the 'Saturday Night Special Street Gun' to go away 'cuz that's shits real and more common all the time, and I don't think a handgun ban will change that. I don't want the armed criminals to know that the law abiding aren't armed due to you proposed ban....but that there's a real posibility that we might be.

The ban is just a step. I honestly do not see a downside to it. It does not make any difference to people who want to hunt.

Starvation seems to have people go docile after a certain stage and then, . . . . Perhaps the city folk will wait too long and they won't get far from the city limit sign. I wonder how the hell somebody got that kind of data without it being part of some sick experiment.

It can be anything you want it to be.

Therefore we review every firearm available in Canada and either put it on a list of assault weapons or not.

Not rocket science.

and as for the handgun ban given the amount of crime being committed with handguns and the movements in both Montreal and Toronto to ban them I can't see how a federal government could not be looking into it.

Its common sense.

This is from the same guy that says racism doesn't exist against Muslims because Islam is not a race.

Sad.

The ban is just a step. I honestly do not see a downside to it. It does not make any difference to people who want to hunt.

Well it certainly makes them angwy.

I think we should ban lie barrels.

Look at London and how it has more crime then a gun place like New York -THEY WANT MORE CRIME.

25 YEARS MURDER-FREE IN 'GUN TOWN USA'
Crime rate plummeted after law required firearms for resident
https://www.wnd.com/2007/04/41196/

This is all about stealing everyone's freedom and using straight out BullSh!t to justify it.

Just like the way MF's fav team the (Soros) NAZIS, took away the jews's guns just before the holocaust, the gunless christians were slaughterd during the MF supported pogroms in Russia, and the gunfree poor were slaughtered in China by MF'S idol, MAO.

They want this for everyone (obviously):

Maxine Waters' district is THE worst place to live in America

With all of the drugs, gangs, crime, violence, homelessness, and pure squalor, you'd figure that the district would be looking for better leadership. Maxine Waters has been an elected official since 1990, and the area she represents has taken a turn for the worse, subsequently, her lifestyle has improved.

REP. MAXINE WATERS (D-CA) NAMED ONE OF THE MOST CORRUPT MEMBERS OF CONGRESS

Sure...but what about knives and fists.

Statistics Canada tracks annual homicides by method in Canada. A summery of their data is below showing rates for 2015:

Homicides by method (2015)

All methods: 604
Shooting: 178
Stabbing: 214
Beating: 132
Strangulation: 38
Fire: 8
Other methods: 4
Not known: 20

Well, CLEARLY this shows the critical need to ban fire!

Band Aid on a hemorrhaging wound. We need to strengthen laws for people caught in the commission of a crime with a gun.

But we can't, because we don't want to exclude the feelings of criminals and this government is all about inclusion.

Yep. LONG sentences (20 years or more) for those who commit deadly assaults.

Very, very short sentences for those who succeed.

As Land Confiscations Loom, South Africa Rules 300,000 Gun-Owners Turn Over Their Weapons

...Gun Control: A Tool for Tyranny
No matter how socialist apologists rationalize it, the redistributionist agenda the South African government is pursuing will not be implemented passively. Ultimately, it must be carried out by force.

The kind of force socialists seek is a monopolized kind, which extreme forms of gun control like gun confiscation help facilitate.

The history of gun confiscation is one of repeated cases of tyranny.

From countries such as Cuba to the Soviet Union, aspiring demagogues have used gun confiscation to disarm the populace. Logically, an unarmed populace will put up little resistance against their tyrannical acts...

Well the globalist NAZI commies ride again, and they lead with gun confiscation, THEN comes the land theft....not to mention the way they want to freely Wiener the children.
