Learn to spell, pal.

I beg to differ with you. It isn't unusual for a variety of dissenting opinions with no particular opinion presenting a majority view. Go back to school.

As do the dissenting opinions.

Thank-you for articulating your position. I am a lefty but don't pretend to speak for all lefties. There may be positions you adopt that I may agree with from time to time. I see government as a catalyst reflecting a variety of views representative of a cross section of society. I see the need for government providing for basic needs and infrastructure without which society wouldn't function. With respect to education I take a different position from you in that I see that education is exactly what is required in such circumstances. Your word structure seems to treat government as an inanimate object which is to be viewed with suspicion whereas I see government and its various institutions as necessary elements in a free and democratic society.

I live in a quiet neighbourhood and am not the least bit concerned about a home invasion. I am not suggesting my home can't be invaded. What I am saying is that I won't occupy my time with the possibility of such an event.

Yes I am aggressive and make no apology for it.

You may have a point there. I prefer not to live my life in fear.

In my younger days I became familiar with street fighting and am well aware of the consequences flowing from such situations. I also have some knowledge of reading people and conflict resolution. The analogies you make are good ones nontheless.

A sensitive guy maybe needs some kleenex.

Well said.

I could and may if placed in such a situation. I am not a pacifist. The fight or flight quality is an innate feature of human nature.

Guess again cybertough.

Surely you aren't suggesting the availabilty of a gun would determine the outcome in any given situation. For example what if that individual whose home was invaded had the tables turned on him by being disarmed by an intruder or intruders. By the way Brian Mulroney and Ronald Raygun were a cut of the same right wing cloth.

I am a New England Patriot fan. Having said that it would be quite interesting to see Seattle win the big one.

Yes. Lyin' Brian Mulroney sold us down the river for a song.

What a person would do in such circumstances is really an unknown. No doubt if I felt my family was threatened I would do what I considered needed to be done to address such a situation.

Not so although your gun may be your phallic symbol. As a lefty I feel neither defenseless nor vulnerable.

I doubt you will become an expert in Canadian law or for that matter American law. I challenge you to identify a state that doesn't have the capacity to seize property from it's citizenery regardless of the label attached to it.

Well at least you appear to have a sense of humour. Has it ever occurred to you that the position you have staked out is a fallacious and misguided one? Does it not concern you that a lunatic can buy a rapid fire weapon with virtually no effective oversight? Are you not concerned that the NRA owns your political class including a number of individuals on the judiciary?

Interesting to note that you liken yourself to fellow lunatics.

Gun nuts seem to infest the American right.

Do you have any examples of a similar event happening here in Canada? If so produce it.
