Guest Derek L Posted November 2, 2011 Report Posted November 2, 2011 A Holier Grail. I don't follow..........What is your reason again for wanting to restrict firearms private ownership? Quote
eyeball Posted November 2, 2011 Report Posted November 2, 2011 I don't follow..........What is your reason again for wanting to restrict firearms private ownership? I told you two or three times now that I do not want to prohibit ownership, I want you to acknowledge that before this goes any further.

Guest Derek L Posted November 2, 2011 Report Posted November 2, 2011 Anyone know who the two NDPers that voted with the Tories today to scrap the registry are? What do NDPers in general feel about two of their own voting with the Government? Quote

eyeball Posted November 2, 2011 Report Posted November 2, 2011 Good enough for yeah? Nope. Quote I said now watch what you say they'll be calling you a radical, a liberal, oh fanatical criminal
Guest Derek L Posted November 2, 2011 Report Posted November 2, 2011 Nope. Ok, I’ll play along………What is your motive for wanting to put further restrictions, or regulations if you prefer, on the private ownership of firearms? Quote
jbg Posted November 2, 2011 Report Posted November 2, 2011 Criminals don't register their illegally gained firearms. I thought the average murderer-in-waiting was very serious about firearms registration. Quote Free speech: "You can say what you want, but I don't have to lend you my megaphone." Always remember that when you are in the right you can afford to keep your temper, and when you are in the wrong you cannot afford to lose it. - J.J. Reynolds. Will the steps anyone is proposing to fight "climate change" reduce a single temperature, by a single degree, at a single location? The mantra of "world opinion" or the views of the "international community" betrays flabby and weak reasoning (link).
eyeball Posted November 2, 2011 Report Posted November 2, 2011 (edited) Ok, I’ll play along………What is your motive for wanting to put further restrictions, or regulations if you prefer, on the private ownership of firearms? The same thing that originally motivated the registry, protecting people from the insane use of firearms, as opposed to the criminal use.

Guest Derek L Posted November 2, 2011 Report Posted November 2, 2011 The same thing that originally motivated the registry, protecting people from the insane use of firearms, as opposed to the criminal use. So why aren’t you opposed to the usage of tobacco products? ie protecting "the people" Quote
eyeball Posted November 2, 2011 Report Posted November 2, 2011 So why aren’t you opposed to the usage of tobacco products? ie protecting "the people" Why am I not opposed to the prohibition of tobacco you mean? For the same reason I'm against the prohibition of firearms. Quote I said now watch what you say they'll be calling you a radical, a liberal, oh fanatical criminal
Guest Derek L Posted November 2, 2011 Report Posted November 2, 2011 Why am I not opposed to the prohibition of tobacco you mean? For the same reason I'm against the prohibition of firearms. As is, tobacco usage kills many more people than firearms, and the restrictions placed on the purchase of tobacco are not even in the same league as purchasing a gun………Would you require people to store their tobacco products offsite of their residence? Have annual physical and mental checkups for their continued use? Register what type and how many cigarettes they have in their possession? Quote
eyeball Posted November 2, 2011 Report Posted November 2, 2011 the restrictions placed on the purchase of tobacco are not even in the same league as purchasing a gun Probably because they're not guns. Quote I said now watch what you say they'll be calling you a radical, a liberal, oh fanatical criminal
Guest Derek L Posted November 2, 2011 Report Posted November 2, 2011 Probably because they're not guns. No they’re not…..Tobacco products are far more lethal to Canadians. Quote

They are stored under lock and key and not allowed in plain view. Have annual physical and mental checkups for their continued use? Register what type and how many cigarettes they have in their possession? No checkups granted, but limits are imposed on sellers. Just an FYI. Quote

Just an FYI. I was referring to the private ownership of Tobacco………I’ve spent thousands of dollars to keep my personal firearms safe (and legally compliant), but I can legally keep my carton of Belmonts in the fridge freezer and not break any laws.

eyeball Posted November 6, 2011 Report Posted November 6, 2011 (edited) Armed gangs defending their turf. Death threats and torched property. Victims too fearful to go to police. Story It's no surprise to me that long gun owners will be the one's who ultimately keep the need for gun control near the front burner.
