Good to know I'm not alone, crazy and should maybe get into politics(?).

BTW my Dad was a candidate in the Federal election (of 1956) and actually ran as the NDP candidate in High Park/Swansea! However that was back in the day when NDP=British Labour Party (like Bill Blair is today) not what they are now in Canada under "Jack". My old man was a founder of the NDP but is spinning in his grave right now because they have failed the values he fought for.

This country is worth fighting for whenever threatened be it internally or abroad. If you want "citizen rights" you have to earn it.

The only time I agree with G.W.: "If you are not with us you are against us"

Get caught with a gun and are found not to be on the way to an Olympic shooting try out or sanctioned event..........10 year automatic sentance.

I grew up in a house with 12 rifles and 8 handguns, I can drop someone at half a KM with an open rifle sight, was best on my ship of 300 with a Sterling sub-machine gun, still can build a NATO FN 7.62 in the dark, aim to kill and kill again.

A place like Canada should have a population where "long gun" (rifles and shotguns are allowed) because it is part of our "phyche" but also necessary out of necessecity, subsistance, tradition or even "sport"

Handguns are a different story, they should be banned out right, the only exist to conceal and by default kill.
