Canadian troops will show no compassion for American gun owners when they are ordered to come and confiscate all our weapons. Our soldiers would not be as eager as foriegners to forcibly enter our homes and take our guns. Our government has learned this trick from the Mexicans. The Mexican government sent their soldiers from the south of Mexico (mostly Indian) to northern Mexico (mostly Spanish decent) and vice-versa. Those soldiers had no compassion for the people they were taking guns from because they had no ties and a different culture and language. The idea behind the sharing of troops between the US and Canada is unnecessary unless you want to pick up all the guns from law abiding Amerian Citizens.

What are you talking about? When did Mexico confiscate guns? What they did to control guns was end manufacturing of all but military weapons, control imports and stop producing ammo for non-military weapons. But sending army troops from one part of the country to another to confiscate guns? Never happened.

Besides, while there are more poor southerners serving in the military than rich northerners (same as the U.S. Army for many years), military units are not regionally based.

Where did you get your information?

Unfortunately, that was also my very first thought. After the actual gun confiscation in New Orleans, a repetition of a similar scenario can no longer be automatically discounted --- and foreign troops from a country which has no Second Amendment make this a whole different kettle of fish, and a far more dangerous one, in my opinion.

Exactly!

Good god what a nutball thread. US and Canadian force operations in North America have intertwined for generations now to the benefit of both. And most of you are having nightmares that the Princess Pats will pour “oout” of Cheyenne Mountain to grab your squirrel guns ? It’s not THAT big an army.

NORTHCOM went operational in 2002. It’s mission statement was specific that it’s area of concern included Canada. This new item appears to me to just emphasize the legitimacy of the NORTHCOM mandate. This gives the Canadian lefties something much more solid to squawk about then the paranoid US right fantasies. Odd choice in friends for Freerepublic.
