Ain’t no way we are giving up our guns with a government this corrupt. We would rather shot every bullet we have.

"But the proposal is unlikely to satisfy Democrats who want stricter measures,..."

Not really. They want clerks to be allowed to abolish the 2nd Amendment right of anyone they choose without due process. Others on the right want loads of due process in the courts to enrich lawyers and divide 2nd Amendment rights according to income levels.

As a Canadian you can imagine the hysteria here over guns in the US, where a child is killed every day (per the hysteria).

Indeed, if you count the 505 accidental gun deaths, and if they were all reported on in the media, it would seem like a real outbreak, someone dying more than once per day.

So I tried to explain that although the per capita gun accident deaths are about 2 times the US over Canada, that the number 505 is tiny. Something like 30,000 are killed in car deaths, and another 30,000 (or so) in falling accidents.

Am I going about the argument the right way?

As the government aggregates more and more powers not delegated to it in the constitution, they seek simultaneously to disarm the populace.

Coincidence?

No.

if the racist “CBC” really gave a rats=ass-damn about black Americans, they’d demand the repeal of all laws and regulations ... so that good honest black American citizens can easily go out and acquire what they may need to defend themselves and other innocent people

from the criminals and Moslem terrorist gangsters that the “CBC” appears to be working for now....

They say they want to prevent suspected terrorists from getting firearms. And they would be the ones to define who is a terrorist. Won’t be muslims or nutcases.
