So what are the murder and violent crime statistics (per capita) for Canada now? How do they compare with the US?
I feel badly for conservative Canadians. It must be hell to live with this utter poop.
So let me get this straight. If the NDP wins on the 28th, they propose invading our country with the intent of directly interfering with our government and its policies?!?
We'll give you three steps to the door. After that, we get colonial on your @ss, got it, NDP?
Exactly. Even Canadians otherwise enamored of Big Government are starting to realize wasting $1 billion on making law-abiding citizens criminals hasn't reduced real crime by one iota. What is gun registry? Its symbolism over substance. And $1 billion is a huge price to pay for the mere illusion all the guns in the country are being kept track of.
I wouldn't worry about that--the best they can hope for is a coalition with the Liberals, but with the way the polls are trending, the Conservatives are probably going to have enough to beat out a Lib/NDP coalition.
What's with this "we" crap? ;^)
I never fire warning shots.If I shoot, I intend to kill.That I have not yet shot to kill, is more a measure of my skill in avoiding lethal situations, and has absolutely nothing to do with whether or not I am listed in a registry anywhere as owning a gun.
I know of many ways to kill.I don't need a gun to do so.A gun just makes it more likely that I would survive a lethal confrontation with a criminal.
If you heard the first shot, and it's not the last thing you ever heard, a reasonable person should consider it a tracer round. ;^)
Kudos to our Canadian friends!
Gun control fails in Canada and it's all our fault???! Why else would Parliament want to lobby for more gun control in the US? This is an outrage!
How in the world could anyone think that Canada's crime rate has anything to do with our laws...next they will say it is Bush's fault.
Tell them to look at Texas, they could give them some pointers.

You ever hear the old saying, "Those who forget History are doomed to repeat History?" One of the reasons for that trumped up war we called the War of 1812, was that we got all full of ourselves and started eyeing Canada for it's vast realm of natural resources and wealth potential. So when we went to war with the Brits, we naturally also invaded Canada. They proceeded to kick our A$$, B-A-D.
So, like the Black Knight in "Monty Python and the Holy Grail," with both legs and both arms off; nothing but a torso on the trail, we said: "Okay we'll call it a draw!" Then we negotiated with Great Britain. The upshot was we asked the Brits: "Why did you start this stupid war?" They replied: "US? You started it, first!" And so it goes. But we learned a lesson about our northern neighbors. I trained with the Canadian army in the 1980's. Not a large military force. But they are a group of serious professionals!
I think these guys are not talking about a literal invasion, just politics as usual. The Canadians feel much the same toward their group of bottomfeeding pols as we do. Still, they have never had the benefit as we have of a Constitution that actually restrains their government from messing them over. They could correct this. In fact, they could have corrected the whole gun control mess. I fear they are already victims of a NWO mentality. So are the Aussies.
Bump this so I can find it tomorrow more easily...
The question of questions is, how much more evidence do these gun-control people need, before they give up and say, "Oops, we were wrong!" ???
We have nothing to fear from Canadians. They subcontract all their defense work to the US.
