Canadian government to ban handguns
Toronto Star ^ | December 7, 2005 | Canadian Press

Posted on 12/07/2005 6:28:15 PM PST by MC Miker G

OTTAWA (CP) — Prime Minister Paul Martin will venture into violence-plagued Toronto Thursday and announce a sweeping ban on handguns, Canadian Press reports.

Martin is scheduled to visit Toronto's troubled Jane-Finch area to make a "safer communities announcement."

Liberal sources have confirmed the announcement includes a ban on handguns.

Gun owners warned at the time that the registry was the first step towards confiscation of their guns. Martin’s announcement today may be seen as confirmation of their worst fears.

Gun-grabbers, like liberal democrats (usually, they are one-in-the-same), ALWAYS follow the same old, tired, big-government, nanny-state, freedom-robbing playbook, with themselves being exempt of any and all restrictions, of course.

If not already a member, join the NRA, GOA, or any other pro-gun, pro-freedom, pro-AMERICA organization TO-DAY, so we can avoid this BULLSH*T here.

Sometimes women 'feel'..they don't think.

Someone needs to educate Canadian women....explain that a gun is the only effective defense against a crack head, a rapist, a murderer....a Moose....jeez. Maybe this analogy would work:

A gun is like a fire extinguisher....sure hope you never need it...but when you do need it...there is no acceptable substitute... mace, "please", nor a baseball bat will suffice. Sometimes a lead dispenser is the only tool for the job at hand.

Heh heh. YET!

If I know libs, they'll come back and back and back.

If there's one thing Libs are good at, it's corruption of the law.

Sorry...I don't think I could tolerate the liberalism up there for very long. I can't stand it in PA....and my perception is that Canada is worse!!!! They'd probably ship me off to a government re-education camp in no time. ;-)!!!!!

Feel free to post any helpful ideas.

I'm going to email my local morning talk radio host and give him a heads up on this.
He had the gun folk on when the provincial gov't targeted them as a reaction to Toronto's problem.
Hopefully he can get them on.
They are the most articulate counter-argument.

Also here is a link to send a policy comment to the CPC...

Here's one for the Liberals if you want to send them a "I've always voted Liberal but..." comment.

They are not interested. They are more interested in putting thought criminals behind bars than the real ones.

Surprisingly enough, it was the Ontario Liberal government that put a stop to Sharia.

Now there is no Christian, Jewish, or any other kind of religious arbitration allowed in Ontario family law.

Well, we could always volunteer to hold their guns for them. That way should they ever NEED them, they wouldn't have far to go to retrieve them.

That's a mighty tempting offer. I suspect I would love it there......

One more tax increase in PA, one more underhanded dirty deal from the legislature...and that will probably be the last straw.

Leave the porch light on!!!!

"violence-plagued Toronto"

LOL something funny about that comment but I can't put my finger on it.


Never been there but my grade school buddy says that Toronto resembled "East Berlin of the 1970's" when he drove up there during the summer. His mother is German and I think during the 1970's went he went over to see the family, he did get to go to East Berlin for a trip.

Extactly why I never returned to Pa from Fl.

NO state taxes on income, no vehicle inspections, no unions to strangle you out of a job, and homestead exemptions for property tax.

I struggled there. - Here, I became wealthy. Period.

Sorry to be remedial......but can you use this html command to post pictures from your hard drive, or just pictures from the web???

Not directly (well, you *CAN* host images directly from your hard drive...it is just a bad idea).

A better way is to get a free account on Photobucket or Webshots (and there are others as well) and hosting there the images that you want to post. If you later want to stop linking the picture anywhere you posted it, you can just delete it from your host (webshots, photobucket, etc) account.

You can also host your image on Imageshack, which requires no signup (though, the free signup has benefits) - you just upload your image and it gives you a web address where it can be accessed. If you only have a few images to post, this is the easiest way to do it.
