Good Lord I hope so.

I’d give you one of mine, but in our free country, that would be a crime. Everybody should have a Marlin 60.

It’s probably the gun that’ll win the next civil war, not the AR-15, AK-47’s or similar.

Canada is known for their strict gun control laws.

And their citizens known for their fealty to law.

Whole thing makes sense viewed from the “world perspective”

Cruz may have to require background checks for his grocery clerks soon.

He is on target in every way!

Cruz or Lose.

I use to bump in to my district’s representative at the shooting range all the time. He and his son were avid shooters. No secret service, no protection.

Was he “controversial, divisive” and running for president?

Wow.
Not only do you surrender to a background check by “winning” the contest — merely applying is deemed as consenting to a background check.

Harvard Lawyer, Indeed!

My neighbor has done some competitive shooting so I just asked him about it. He says there is a whole patchwork of laws (which are always in flux) regarding guns and shooting events depending on sanctioning body, state the event is held in, type of event etc.

He says that even a man who can’t own a gun here can go to an event and pay to shoot a fully auto machine gun with no legal ramifications. In other states its a criminal offense.

“Sniff, sniff...”

Maybe some chicken soup for that cold.

I am sure your friends would agree!

Hardly anything new.

Presidential candidates (even quasi-nut jobs like Sanders or even "the buzz saw with a bad hair cut") must be protected and thus people attending normal events, have to submit to a normal background screening to attend various events where one would be in close proximity to the candidate, no matter how much money is donated.

I would imagine even more scrunity would take place prior to an event where lethal weapons will be on hand and live shots will be taking place!

He’d be a fool NOT to require a background check. Chris Kyle knew who it was he went shooting with, and his problems, but that didn’t help. With the intensity of hatred for conservatives, Republicans, Cruz, it’d be a badge of honor for someone to take out anyone in that category. I shiver to think of it.

Pretty much. Would be extremely stupid not to have a background check. And Ted Cruz is one of the smartest men to.have ever run for president.

Lol, when you quit tripping over yourself in your rush to slander great Americans like Governor Walker, American patriots like myself will leave your Canadian interest threads in peace.

Give us a little hint what your next screen name might be so I can look for you.
