And your point?
Are you trolling me?
-
I'm not implying anything, I'm quite clearly providing evidence that crimes committed with firearms have happened this month in the Lower Mainland......Are you suggesting that these news reports are fake?
I supported my assessment with facts and you support yours with 3 stories in the last month
fine, this is all from March and took me a minute
Multiple Stabbing at Vancouver’s Cobalt Hotel
-
What about these crimes:
Two men in hospital after shooting in downtown Vancouver
Two shootings keep Surrey RCMP busy
Charges laid in weekend homicide in Surrey
Notice, these examples were from this month alone……I could continue.
I don't understand where you're going with this. Are you implying that StatsCanada fudged their numbers?
-
You're missing the point stopstaaron. All of these crimes with illegal semi-autos is unreported.
Oh right, the unreported crimes that make Canada a crime infested country.

Knives most common weapon used to commit violent crime
-
That’s a rather strong charge, and no, I don’t want to “shoot someone”, nor do I wish someone in my home without my say……..none the least, and if your thugs, in this scenario, broke into my home with only knives or pepper spray, on hearing the universal sound of a racking 870, after shitting themselves, they’d likely bugger off.
Keep in mind this is just homicide, not assaults, I will look for those stats
http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/story/2010/04/27/statscan-knifing-report.html
In 2008, 34 per cent of 611 homicides reported by police were committed with knives, a seven per cent increase from 1999 and more than double the approximately 15 per cent level of 1974, the first year for which homicide data is available.
The proportion of homicides involving guns, meanwhile, dropped significantly — from approximately 48 per cent in 1974 to 34 per cent in 2008.

Depends on your "aim". A bat is equally as deadly as any gun in the right hands. Likewise, a gun is practically useless to a person who has never held one.
1 bullet can paralyze a person. Can 1 swing of the bat cause the same damage?
The correct answer is no
-
. Likewise, a gun is practically useless to a person who has never held one.
Not true, see an unexperienced person can shoot a gun and kill someone or injure them
an unexperienced person with a bat will just injure them
-
Registered? Violence is violence regardless of your chosen weapon. I feel any baseball bat owner is automatically guilty of intent to use such bat as a weapon.
A bat is a less deadly use of force than a gun
-
We have a lot more knife crimes than we do gun crimes
all you wanna do is shoot somebody
-
Not much good against a thug(s) with illegal semi-autos……....With that said, some would contend, that a Lee Enfield mk 4 or a Browning Auto-5, if called upon, would make a decent stand-in, baseball bat.
This is Canada, they are more likely to have knives than a gun..
-
Sorry for the delay in reply, didn’t see it earlier……
And my guns are for hunting and fun too, but that doesn’t discount the fact, that if under certain circumstances, if I had to choose between using them to defend myself and my family or leaving them in the safes, the decision is rather obvious……………Though I don’t lay awake worrying about such a scenario, and my two first lines in home security are ADT and two big ugly dogs, home invasions & violent crime still do occur here (Greater Vancouver)………If some punks kicked in my front door at 2:00am, my first response won’t be to grab the phone and dial 911 and wait ten minutes for the Coquitlam RCMP to show up, but to grab a 12 gauge out of the safe in my bedroom closet.
Would you be any different?
Whatever happened to the trusty baseball bat?

The rest of Canada will get sick of NDP, they are Quebec first and Canada 2nd

LONDON, March 30 (Reuters) - British unions ruled out an Easter strike by fuel delivery drivers on Friday after the government was accused of triggering panic-buying and long queues at garages with its "incompetent" handling of the dispute.

Being a communications director for Harper has to be the worst job in this whole country.
I am surprised there hasn't been any suicides from his communications directors yet

Using sites like tomorrowsgaspricetoday.com can know what the price of gas will be tomorrow.
I already know the price will drop for Saturday.
It the prices goes up significantly, like it did this week, you can bet there'll be line ups at gas bars everywhere.
I'll have to bookmark that, thank you Boges

Mulcair is supposed to be the guy that unites the leftists? How can he do that when he gives separate speeches about the budget to Quebec first then Canada?
Mulcair's budget response separates Quebec, Canada
If anything Quebec is going to separate from Canada under the NDPs watch
-
When gas goes up 2 cents here there are lineups at the Gas Station the night before.
I don't understand this sentence

For the record, I'm not affiliated with any political party,
ah ha, that is the lie of the month!
-
I am against any untruthful propaganda by the government and the opposition. I am against attack ads for the same reason. I just found it humourous that an ardent conservative cheerleader like spiderlisp is against propaganda when the people he cheers for put out more propaganda than any of the opposition parties combined
-
That misses the point. The mother is not a reporter. The reporter should have sought Breitkreuz's actual speech or, if that wasn't possible, corroborated the mother's interpretation of her daughter's story with other witnesses who were there and heard Breitkreuz speak.
I agree with that.
-
The article dedicates more than 90% of its column length to the allegations. I looked in it for any record of Breitkreuz's actual words spoken to the class; there were none; just reams of quotes from the mother's letter and the MP she wrote it to. Thus, the first thing I concluded after reading it was that it was heavily biased. And I think it's therefore right to question the reporter's fact-checking and impartiality.
She wrote it supposedly by what her kid told her so you were never going to get direct quotes as she was not there
-
Shouldn't you answer his before demanding he answer yours?
The article was about the MPs allegations, the article did not lie and misconstrue anything, they just reported the allegations and the fact that the MP denied the accusations .. that is no different than what the media does every other time
Spiderfish demands the media to not report propaganda by the opposition ..but is he also against propaganda by the government being reported? I don't think he is, he's never complained about it before
He's a partisan conservative supporter before anything else
all I did was call him out on it

The number of firearm-related deaths in the United States with their gun culture is more than double what it is in Canada. Why the hell would we emulate that model?
So what happens when someone needs to react quickly and use their gun in self-defense?
20/20 did a segment that explored that question.
Seems like right wingers aren't happy until we're all killing each other
Tory MP tells high schoolers they should carry guns
