Canada has some real problems ~ guns aren't among them.

This guy is a nutcase. Guess he thinks the widespread fear of guns (or confusion about whether they are machines or penile substitutes) will be sufficient to distract the voting public from being concerned that the Liberals running for office are a pack of thieves and cut-throats.

My money's on the Liberals ~ they will succeed in continuing to fool the Canadian voting public.

We'll be over-run with illegal aliens from Canada next, if we haven't already.

Alberta has already said it would reject the ban.

Good for them. Man, I wish some of our states would show the same fortitude once in a while.

Calling all criminals, calling all criminals, Canada is open for business.

So let's see, between military cuts and gun bans, what's to stop say, a North Dakota girlscout troop from annexing the entire country? Martin better keep a close on eye on new merit badge requirements...

Gotta hand it to them. When Canadian Liberals run for office, they tell what they really are. Unlike the DemocRATS here who run from their ideas at election time because they know they would lose big-time. Hellary knows full well she's against the Iraq war, but won't DARE say it.

agreed. better to deal with the devil you know than the devil you don't. DIMs love photo ops of them hunting(aka
'Goose Slayer' Kerry) ,but when an actual mention of the individual right or right to carry or .50 BMG's come up they suddenly love a watered-down 2nd Amendment.

Liberals, under pressure to clamp down on gun violence in big cities, will move to ban all handguns if they win the January 23 election, Prime Minister Paul Martin said on Thursday.

At least, Martin is honest...bald faced telling the people what they are going to do. Our liberals here would lie, hoping to sucker in enough people, then doing it in the dead of night after they were elected .

If the Canadian people go ahead and elect these lunatics, they deserve what they get.

I bet the Australians wish they had elected people who preserved their right to have firearms.

Australia has restricted gun ownership. The result is that the growing Muslim population can now harass and rape Aussies with relative impunity. The police are intimidated, and the Muslims can quickly gather a gang of 50 or more if any of their victims decides to fight back.

A mob of 50 can do what they want to one or two unarmed individuals, with no risk to themselves. If the victim has a gun, the equation changes. It changes even if the mob is itself armed, because suddenly each member has a non-zero risk of getting shot, and each individual member doesn't want it to be him

I forgot to add: and Canada has a growing Muslim population. It may be close to the point where they start to see civil unrest, hence the drive to ban guns

I wish Alberta was one of our states. I'd take everything west of Ontario.

I hope that, someday, the US has wonderful relations with the nation of Alberta.

That's just like a scene in one of the 'Gambler' movies. Kenny Rogers pulls a derringer on three dudes who want to cut him up. So he asks which two want to get shot so the other one can do the cuttin'! A .410 derringer is a nasty little device.:-)

It's usually too cold in Canada to form mobs outside.

Why Moslems bother to immigrate there is a very good question ~ maybe they are simply crazy people.

All Americans should A. Buy their next few weapons from newspaper ads, B. Buy plenty of ammo for each unregistered weapon and C. Order an Asp baton. The Asp baton fits nicely in the pocket until needed and isn't detectable while the authorities are taking away your baseball bats and beer bottles as you wait for the next wave of islam rioters....a la Australia.

It's something I discovered back in my college days. I was in a subway station, and this pack of about 6 teens was making like they were going to beat up this gay guy.

I walk up and just look at them with my hand in my packet (holding my knife). Not saying a word. After some blustering, they went away. As a group, they knew they could take me. As individuals, they knew I would kill the first one to come within reach of me.

Nobody wanted to be first
