I take it you finally ran out of possible arguments so now the name calling starts. Curious to see what your neighbor who spent the $15K he couldn't afford on a semi automatic gun will do when he goes bankrupt. He's already made one irrational decision , so instead of selling the gun to extinguish his debt, he may decide to go postal on his neighbors since the world has harmed him. You deal with that; you can call him a moron too if it helps you any.

I had to put up with the site C construction and the LNG construction and the KM expansion as the government demanded this was in the national interest. Now they demand removing these guns is in the national interest. Hand them over and go buy yourself beer with the money to drawn your sorrow. I feel for you. But I want to hear no more about it.

You are trolling, aren't you? Our borders are controlled, and if the US masses want to invade, the Canadian military will be deployed. If the US military wants to invade us, this is a totally different matter which cannot solve even with the banned semi-automatic weapons in our possession. If you intend to bring any weapons with you into Canada, just stay back there.

Children? What do children have to do with that? If a beggar asks you for 1 penny, you'd give him that, won't you? Some might give him $5. But they will not give him their whole purse! Comparing a gun with a child is like comparing the dime in your pocket with your retirement savings!

They can just continue to follow the law and comply. The government tells them now to hand over their guns; they should do that. No, I do not care about the $2 billion after spending $4.5 billion on the Kinder Morgan pipeline. You bet I don't.

I will try to find it and install it tonight! Thanks!

No, not panic, as I pointed out on page 66 of the COVID thread, people simply can go insane! I want to wring the neck of that teenager interrupting my Soundgarden song on Youtube to tell me to "Stay home and be safe", with a smile. Yes, I will smile back at them while doing it! I HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF IT!

I like how you go around exploring and employing all possible lines of defense that suit your argument. No, I am not convinced. We have waitresses , hotel operators, flight attendants, retail store clerks, tour guides and just about anyone else lose a job, and they do not participate in a blood sport, I would have no sympathy for a gun seller having a reduced income because now they have to sell cheaper guns. And , no I do not invest heavily in my hobbies. I have no boat and no truck to haul one with. I like to walk. I use high-end fishing rods but older models - ( Sage and Loomis ). I also collect stamps and similarly I do not put too much money into that. Actually I run this one as a business - I buy new stamps with the profit from selling duplicates.

This is why Trudeau is doing what he has to, to prevent a full blown civil war and lawlessness.

What can I say, I too lost money on my RRSPs. Bad investment. Whoever has $15K to put in a gun, he has money to burn.

Conservatives are lucky they have him as a leader now that the oil prices have crashed. They can blame the whole economy slowdown and crisis in Alberta on the Liberals. But no matter what they do, they will never get my vote.

Wasn't he going to be paid fair market value for his gun? Wasn't this the whole idea behind the program? Yes, I admit I did not take the time to investigate what they banned. Basic logic tells me a reasonable person can comfortably live with the ban and still enjoy shooting practice or hunting.

I CANNOT WATCH YOUTUBE ANY MORE WITHOUT SOME DUMB ASS SHOWING UP EVERY 5 MINUTES TO TELL ME TO STAY HOME TO PREVENT THE SPREAD............ WHERE DO YOU EXPECT ME TO BE AT MIDNIGHT, YOU DUMB F* ! DO YOU THINK I AM WALKING THE STREETS WITH AN iPAD IN MY HAND WATCHING TO YOUR LAME MESSAGE WHILE BUMPING MY HEAD IN THE LIGHT POLES? I WISH ALL THOSE IDIOTS GET THE VIRUS FAST AND DIE FAST SO THE REST OF US CAN KEEP OUR SANITY!

They can adapt to the situation. One can have the same fun firing a pellet gun. But they are left with all high power hunting weapons, just not those that will shoot many rounds in a short time. I see absolutely no problem. As a fisherman I can object bait bans, gear bans, barbless hooks, closed seasons and what not, but at the end I am happy with what I have and I can have the same fun and catch the same number of fish on a barbless fly. I care not what the new regulations will throw at me for as long as I can still enjoy the outdoors.

Yes like those robing the banks with masks on their faces.

Hm, isn't hiding your face racist to begin with? You hide your face, act in a certain way and this makes you less trustworthy to other groups. Then what is the principle behind nationality? It is to unite people having the same cultural values and heritage. This also means it is there to keep the rest out. But hey, there are these experimental countries like the USA , Canada, Australia, New Zealand and then there is this global market , international partnership concept that turned just about every other country into an experiment. To wrap it up, it is not about "Canadians being racist" There will be racist views in every country and in every person.

Just so you know I continue to remove garbage from our roads and backcountry. On Saturday I was in the middle of nowhere in the Nisga'a land on a FSR that still produced for me (not fish, garbage). Monday I went along another one 30km north of town. It was grown in after one point, but when I looked down the slope I saw a bunch of items that did not belong - a lawn mower, barbecue, weed wacker, lawn chair, printers and scanners all left there by some Jumbo Moron. I posted a picture on Facebook looking for a volunteer to remove the items. About 20 guys expressed their frustration but not one volunteered. So today I took one of the companies pickups and went out there and removed that pile of crap and also three large pickup tires from other spots along the road. This evening - same thing, more backs filled up and disposed of in the dumpster. But we need a CULTURE CHANGE! This type of littering and wide spread pollution and destruction cannot continue.

Next year I will be 50. As I stated earlier, convincing an Army Guy will be difficult, but keep in mind I have served too. I have shot AK-47's and thrown grenades and witnessed unimaginable stupidity while being at it. Nothing ever changes in this field.

Actually they should ban some computer games and moderate most of our crime movies too. It all starts with education of kids. You miss that and you end up in a blood thirsty world.

You are on top of nothing - sheer illusion. A virus can kill us all off and be on top.

No we had the brains before starting to kill things. Without that we would have still been like the monkeys in the forest. As a species we were not meant to be predators.

What I know is enough to make me make up my mind.

She is using the statistical probability source which is plain logic and math. But of course nothing would convince an "Army Guy" that we need less weapons.

No , you are not a predator, you are omnivorous. Humans never had claws and fangs and the ability to chase and capture prey. Your statements get more laughable by the minute.

They kill each other more or less accidentally. It happens when you have two well matched animals and neither refuses to end the fight. For the most part, one runs away and is saved. I said two barrel shot guns. I will not discuss milliseconds of automatic and semi-automatic rifles and how they compare to one another.
