Evolution of firearms centuries ago in Czech lands. Howitzer, pistol etc.

And the liberal laws today. Shooting a third national sport, right after hockey and footbal (soccer). [shooting same as Switzerland]

Honestly. What has that got to do with anything here today? The use or misuse of firearms is as much a cultural thing as anything else. That's why virtually every Canadian had a firearm at one point but almost none of them used them on each other. Canadians grew up with firearms and knew them as a tool, especially in rural areas (still do). The misuse of firearms is a cultural artifact of big city life filled with strangers who neither know nor respect each other, and the criminal element that breeds in that sort of environment.

It is an inverted moral calculus that tries to persuade the world to demonize one state that tries its civilized best to abide in a difficult time and place, and rides merrily by the examples and practices of dozens of states and leaderships that drop into brutality every day without a twinge of regret or a whisper of condemnation. - Rex Murphy

Yesterday, today and tomorrow. $2 billion waste and nothing to show for.

But so would use and missuse of cars.

To me use is a sport and missuse is a CRIME. But some want to tie it to a "need". Such as "you don't need this or that".

That is still so in my town. And no crime.

Hasn't this argument pretty much been established as a waste of time? Neither side will ever quantify "Proof."

CON majority = Dead registry

Anything else = It lives

Arguing the same things over and over again for the next 10 years isn't going to change that fact.

The only question I have remaining that I still think an answer exists to is; 'Why did it need to be whipped? What else is there that isn't seen?'

So why do you waste your time? Is your horse in the race?

Only Liberal majority will bring it alive - with more waste.

Because of amnesty since 1998 it's as good as dead, or should we say on life support.

If you really believe it stop arguing.
