And this would be a surprise to whom?

Liberals and Canadians?

More guns, less crime - http://johnrlott.blogspot.com/

I was just waiting for you to trot out Lott again, Adam. That study is flawed and has been debunked six ways to Sunday at high noon yet. Meanwhile I will hold off moving to a place where nobody wants me dead and stay in a place where few possess the legal means to kill me within seconds.

We seem to have some of each - bless their hearts :-)

Easier to just roll over and be killed in Canada.

Ah, SunTV.They are doing somersaults right now, to beg for government subsidies for anti-government, rugged individualists such as this.

I suspect the bean counters in Canadian media have discovered that if you don't play ball with the government they

will destroy you. Kind of like how for years Fox News was banned in Canada. They should not accept any government

money but perhaps the investors don't wish to fight the government. Governments tend to have bottomless purses to

destroy whom they please - and use guns if they don't get their way. I only know of the Fox News example where

the government interfered with the press - I'm sure Canadians know of other examples and hence the attempt to

be on the inside.

Same problem other places in the Crown.

And, you are, of course, prepared to provide the six ways that it was "debunked?"

Yes, sure, I will do it while you are whittling the sticks and collecting the firewood - priorities, Adam!

Of course she can't debunk - not a priority.

It's the illegal means you should worry about.

I do, Brant, I do worry. Nearly all the illegal guns that kill gang members, and others just for the hell of it, come here from the US, at a nice markup.Capitalism in action/ See the recent Star series about this perversion of the underground railroad.

About being killed by legal hunting rifles such as the one I own I am not worried.

Stop making the damn handguns and assault weapons, would you [please?

[Brant Gaede]

Moi?!

--Brant

I just buy them

[Selene]

Do you actually believe that if you erected a fifty (50) foot wall across the entire border that it would stop handguns from filling the demand by your criminal population?

Can liberals actually be this blind to the laws of supply and demand?

[Backlighting]

Even if the U.S. had the highest homicide rates, with the highest gun ownership, it still would not justify banning firearms.

Correct. Freedom demands the people must have the right to bear arms.

A rather childish and emotional view - I gather you really don't have a clue about firearms.

Not unexpected.

That was exctly my point Adam, no walls will stop the illegal guns from coming here to kill Canadians. Just cut it out OK?

Dennis

You are right Dennis,I have few clues about firearms. I have only a childish emotional feeling that they do not belong in my country in the hands of civilians. I also have a childish impression of the differences between my country and yours. in this regard. And an adult one.

[caroljane]

Here is an anecdote,not a datum or support of any theory, just something I happen to know firsthand.

A student of mine was seriously abused by her husband. By that I mean he imprisoned her in a room, deprived her of clothes, regularly raped and only allowed out of the house to attend ESL class, if she didn't he could not collect her welfare payments. He escorted her to the classes and collected her afterwards.

I was the one who called the police and I had to testify at his trial. I heard later that his brother-0in-law said that he had tried to buy a gun to kill her, but the deal fell through, it is hard to get guns here, comparatively.

She is still alive, not dead.

[Brant Gaede]

The rapist didn't need a gun to kill her.

--Brant

but good for you for calling the cops and stopping him

[Backlighting]

Correct. Freedom demands the people must have the right to bear arms.

Dennis

Add to that the issue of self-preservation/ protection of oneself & loved ones.

[caroljane]

--Brant

No, he didn't He only wanted the gun to make it look like someone else killed her, so he could collect her insurance. Knifing or strangling would have cast suspicion on him. as was deposed in excluded testimony.

[KacyRay]

Why, among 2nd Amendment enthusiasts, is there never a distinction drawn between gun control and gun prohibition?

Why does no one recognize that "We want to ensure that only the right people have guns" does not automatically translate to "They're coming to take my guns away!!!"
