Canada pretty muchs just sucks, and their money looks funny and is a hugh annoyance.

You should try living here, I'm surrounded by commies these days.

Of course it has nothing to do with the fact
that Canada imported thousands of criminals
from Trinidad and Jamaica
many of whom were loaded onto planes
without documentation or passports
and were permitted to stay in the country.

Canada just wasted billions harassing all its honest citizenry gun owners. You mean criminals aren't following these totalitarian laws?



No, you see, that system would have worked perfectly to eliminate crime, if only the US had not provided all the guns to undermine their effort.

Similarly, Washington DC would be a crime-free haven if not for the flood of guns from nearby Virginia.

Maybe Canada needs to take a look at the kind of immigrants they are allowing into their country. Are these people getting a good education and fitting into Canadian culture? Or is Canada importing its own crime wave? Seems to me they ought to be looking at themselves instead of always blaming the USA.

Depopulated, yes. Bullet pocked, yes. Those bullets are just well aimed at the prodigious quantities of wild-life. There ain't no humans to hit!

(And we never aim them at one another, unlike Washington, D.C.)

Well, I guess if all the lib denziens of occupied Virginia got together and concentrated really, really hard, they could wish away the guns coming in from "redneck" Southside.

The gun laws in Toronto aren't much more draconian than the gun laws across the border in NYS. Something else must be going on.

Maybe you will feel better when the 'Bequers separate! With their liberal votes gone the rest of Canada can be normal...

Maybe they should pass a law banning guns then.

We get mainly Moslems today.
Of course they all are law-abiding citizens.

Would they feel better if the shooters had to resort to stabbing people, shoving them out of windows, or beating them with hockey sticks? Because, without the guns, I'm sure they'd find another way to do their dirty work.

The problem isn't the guns. And it sure as hell isn't us.

Here just south of the border in North Dakota, everyone owns guns, and crime is the lowest of any state.

Would like to see some statistics on this...I'm pretty sure my Idaho is right up there too, and there is no shortage of guns in my state, (or my house).

That looks like something Laz would make.... at least it reminds me of something he came up with a while back.

If I were Canada I'd build a wall along the entire length of the border to keep out the EEEVIL guns.

It's a "pistol that shoots around corners."

At the left is a Glock pistol and video camera. A hinge connects it to the rear (right) part, which has the trigger actuator and video display. Good luck with recoil!
