Gun Control

Re: Gun Control

That's why typically rural peoples are typically armed. Not just an "attitude" thing, but because the police are further to respond.

Re: Gun Control

The police are (on average) "only" 9 minutes away. Lot's of badness can happen in those 9 minutes.

Rural RCMP officers here are sometimes a whole hour+ flight away. Scary thought... I've heard stories from the officers about how they've had to tell people to wait while they fly up, to try to barricade themselves in their rooms or somewhere isolated to stay as safe as possible for as long as possible.

Now that's a scary thought... I also found out that those guys make upwards of 200-400k a year. I still couldn't justify going that rural for money though...

Gun Control = The ability to Control your Weapon ...

Most Americans ( those of us actually born here in the USA ) are proud of our Military ; and have been since the days of our Founding Fathers and the War of Independence .

We Canadians are proud of our military as well. It is the cowards that send them off to get killed we aren't too fond of.

Re: Gun Control

Gun control takes aim at bad apple gun dealers who will sell to anyone to make a buck.

Re: Gun Control

Seems to be a better idea than arming teachers with guns.

Re: Gun Control

I think the world would be a better place without guns; then we could finally focus on the important things, like sword fighting and learning how to kill a man with one punch.

Re: Gun Control

I actually had a brilliant epiphany sparking from the video game debate here a few days/weeks ago...

The gun control issue is exactly like the violence in video games issue. There is a (board/government) that certifies who is able to purchase the product, and then there are those who are willing to circumvent it for the benefit of another (straw purchases for guns/mother purchasing M rated game for 8 year old child). You then have the majority who are able to use the product responsibly and then a select few who often have underlying mental issues unable to distinguish that their actions are utterly reprehensible. This minority gets a hold of the product and goes on a shooting spree, killing innocents; the knee-jerk reaction is (video games/gun registration).

Weird how the only common factor between the two seems to never get discussed...

My 2 cents for the day, anyone got 3 more? I want to buy some dubble bubble gum.

Re: Gun Control

I happened upon this photo ; and it reminded me that our choice to have a gun , if we so desire, is brought about by the freedom that has been bestowed upon us by our great Founding Fathers and our past and present United States Military .

I serviced some copiers inside a prison once.. It was NOT a resort by any stretch of means..

Re: Gun Control

The reason the prisons are crowded is because there is no punishment. Most prisons now are more like resort hotels. Let go back to the days of fifteen hour a day making gravel from boulders with a sledge hammer.

I have to call bullshit on that one. Try watching a show called Lockup. But then again, I don't know what kind of resorts you stay at...

Re: Gun Control

System of a Down had a good song berating America's Prison system, aptly named 'Prison Song.' It's a good listen.
