I said this on another thread recently, don't feel like looking it up.

I was in Washington DC, in the bar at the base of the hotel, and got to talking to a guy from Canada, there on a business trip. And he said one of the most bizarre things I've ever heard:

"I have 20 guns. But I don't believe in handguns."

Maybe he prefers rifles. I don’t think he was condemning handguns or wanting to ban them.

Fewer guns mean safer communities.

Certainly safer for the criminals, anyway. Imagine the convenience of being able to burgle homes with no worries of getting shot by an angry homeowner.

Canada does not have a Second Amendment. Our Founding Fathers were very, very wise.

Well, if you outlaw handguns, only the criminals will be allowed to have handguns, obviously. Truedolt is such a moron. What were the Canadians thinking when they elected him, that’s what I’d like to know.

“..All you need is a handgun anyway”.

Back in 1968 when Bobby Kennedy was murdered by a Palestinian Immigrant the democrats began to say we did not need handguns.

I have a long memory.

Starting in 1962 with the demand of Dems Thomas J. Dodd and Emanuel Celler...
1962 We ONLY want to register handguns. Rifles will not be affected!
1964, We ONLY want to register ALL firearms, not ban them.
1968 We ONLY want to register all guns, and ban the import of foreign Saturday Night Specials, and 5-shot bolt action army surplus rifles! (they got the ban).
1970, We ONLY want to ban small American handguns. Rifles will not be affected!
1976 We ONLY want to ban ALL handguns! Rifles will not be affected!
1981, Actress Lee Grant on Good Morning America screams and pokes holes in the air with her finger...”THE NRA IS A RIFLE ORGANIZATION! THEY SHOULD GIVE UP THEIR HANDGUNS AND THEY CAN KEEP THEIR RIFLES!”
1984, They came for the rifles.
Gun owners know they are always up against a stacked deck.

Not all handguns. I'm sure that police, military, and bodyguards for the elite can still pack a pistol.

In the 1920s, Canada was nice enough to ship us illegal whisky. Now we need to reciprocate and ship them illegal guns.

“Handguns are the weapon of choice in most firearm-related crimes, which”

Water is the most common cause of drowning.

Soon we’ll learn that cars are the most common cause of death in vehicle accidents.

Here’s the real statistic which means something, using the same common definition, and the same reporting standards (which they play with in order to show success), what does the overall homicide rate do? Hint, it stays about the same.

Because if I don’t like you and want to kill you, a gun works well so I use it. But if I don’t have a gun, I still want to kill you. I’ll just use option #2 a tool to stab (knife, screwdriver), option #3 a baseball bat, #4 a crow bar #5 a hammer... The fact that I want to kill you does not change if you make it hard to have a gun. My car can kill you, so can a fire, explosion, accident.

The nanny state and it’s attempt at making the world safe for women (they tend to support this junk) and the elite (they fear the people) doesn’t pan out.

Next he will declare “Folks may own guns, but they will have to have their arms amputated if they do own guns”

"I have 20 guns. But I don't believe in handguns."

That was the prevailing sentiment in much of post-war Western Europe before the anti-gun forces really ramped up their efforts. Even the Swiss - for whom rifle marksmanship is nearly the national sport - view handguns as something to be avoided.
