Excuse me? "Anti-gun"? "Hypocrisy"? I'm most definitely NOT "anti gun".

Stop right there with your strawman erection. I'm most definitely "anti-American self protection to the extent of scorning all others who do not believe the same".

There is a vast difference between being blanket "anti-gun" and being contrary minded to the ownership of same for one purpose only.

This thread, I remind you again, was created for the purpose of piling on Canada for enacting a particular restriction of a particular type of firearm.

There is nothing hypocritical in my stance of defending Canada's enacting a ban on a particular set of firearms. I have no objection to Canadians themselves owning firearms for the purpose of sport-shooting or hunting. Yes, I even support those who would purchase a handgun for competition or simple recreational range use.

I would not support any move by Canada to open up ANY firearm to be purchased for the reasons of self defence.

That "Pandora's Box" I want remained closed in Canada for the foreseeable future.

So you are against one protecting themselves, with a legal firearm. Got it.

"Stop right there with your strawman erection."

"Thinking Canadians aren't interested in condescending phony sympathy from an "unthinking" American.

"Your Trudeau Derangement Syndrome is obviously founded in your jealousy over another leader's obvious ability to form successive cognitive sentences."

"Predictably infantile."

"Is having a cognitive reasoning disorder a default part of your DNA? Or do you actually practice it to acquire perfection at being irrelevant."

"What a load of codswallop! Why would you even try floating that cement block?"

"Unbridled jealousy of a higher functioning democracy is unbecoming of all you supposed rugged individualists."

"Yeah sorta like wearing a red ball cap and shouting fake news."

"Whattsamattah; can't refute the facts provided?"

"Oh really; but the O/P's mantra using Canada as a retarded NRA talking point hasn't?"

"Some of them have some sort of immunity that totally insulates them from rational thought."

"But - you can buy an AR ----- whooohah!"

"Now, all of this is by way of debunking your insulting terms used to describe Canadians as subjects of the Crown, serfs, sheep or whatever."

"You people have a tendency to take some snippet serving your beliefs and turn it into the holy grail."
Your word's not mine. ^^^

It was you who made this statement: "Owning one and carrying one is your right and your choice but it needn't be a reason to scorn those who choose otherwise."

Many of your posts are condescending and chock full of scorn. This has nothing to do with your stance on guns. Again thanks for proving your own hypocrisy.

Burglers burgle homes where no one is home in nearly every case. Please secure your weapons so they don`t take them.

What difference does it make where one is ? It's a shame that people would be against it , period. Not choosing to do it themselves, I understand. Wanting to restrict others, shameful. I guess if I grew up in Canada, there might be the possibility that I'd think the same , not sure.

What about that statement you quoted is hypocritical?

I've stated many times trying to enact similar legislation or to even think of confiscating firearms in the U.S. is a non-starter. You disagree?

And we're still in a thread started by an American with many American scornfully participating about Canada.

As I've said before, Americans have a vested inertness in what goes on in Canada as our Leftist Progressive States love to copy unconstitutional foreign law to see if they can get away with it. Our corrupt courts often let them. Then we are STUCK.

There are many instances where the SAME procedures for guns is NOT applied to other crimes. Should NOT be.


"AngryTaxPayer", I think your anger has distorted you reasoning capabilities.
Does your knife have a serial number and were you forced to store said info in a national database? If so then same thing.

Wow, adding so much to the conversation. I own firearms because I hunt and killing a deer with a rifle is much easier than strangling one with my bare hands. What I choose to shoot it with shouldn't be decided by a politician or a group of nanny state hoplophobes. That for ANY Country.
