How does raping your wife make him murderous?

if the left is allowed to lump me in with a bunch of murderous street gangs merely because i hunt ducks in southern alberta, then don't even think about questioning my right to lump rapists together with murderous scumbags.

Just saying.

Handguns are already strictly restricted in Toronto; most guns used in crimes enter here from the United States; the mayor’s office has no power to ban guns, only Ottawa can. City council has already asked the federal government to ban guns in Toronto, so Chow’s proposal essentially amounts to repeating that 2008 request. A gesture, little more.


One would expect better of a reputed bleeding heart like Chow. The rest of the community safety platform she announced is promising. But that substance was overshadowed by the gun ban proposal — tossed in because handgun bans are the bleeding heart version of “tough on crime” and because polls show more than three quarters of people support such bans.

Does Olivia Chow’s proposed handgun ban include the piece owned by Warren Kinsella’s girlfriend — who volunteers for Chow?

Thanks to Robert Doig on Facebook for inspiring that question.

I’m glad Kinsella and Kirbie approve of armed self-defense.

That’s something the three of us can agree on, but the authorities don’t see it that way. It’s a crime in Canada.

No lie. I don't recollect ever hearing you defend Obama. Or comment on him at all.

I think Colpy has you slotted as a "leftie," and therefore concludes without a scintilla of evidence that you're an Obamanaut.

It was DaSleeper that made that random Obama comment. I think Colpy's got a better understanding where I come from.


But where did this thread veer off into? Something lists of names and numbers? I want to know more about how firearms created democracy.

Nonsense. The freest societies in the world are countries like Honduras, Yemen, and Afghanistan, where EVERYBODY has a gun.

Freedom to shot whoever you want. That utopia isn't far off in America.

She's picking up right where David Miller left off. Worthless substance for Canada's Largest City of the Bubble heads.

Sad that there are many folks in TO who are a cut above this nonsense, but get lumped in with these knuckleheads.

Well, at least you don't rape the ducks. That'd be really creepy.

And I would never question your right to be wrong. The right to be wrong is the most fundamental of all human rights.

Except you did question my right to be wrong even when i chose to be as equally wrong as others. So, whatever man. I'm over it. You should get over it too. We should get back on topic.

Actually, it isn't a crime in Canada under certain specific situations.

So basically she is running on an old platform, one that is well worn, empty promises, misinformation. Not measureable.
