During the raids police siezed Kilo's of drugs, as well as firearms. Drugs that have been illegal for decades. We have'nt been able to curb drugs, what makes us think banning handguns will curb that. The majority of shootings are in a concentrated areas in Toronto. So the politicians should give tho...

Firearms owners are 2 million strong and growing. We have to keep the momentum up and continue to bring more people into the firearms community, or at least gain a positive attitude from individuals. There are 31 plus million people in Canada as of the 2006 census poll.

[quote="Rockie Well, I am pretty partial to shoulder launched SAM missiles. I think they're cool. The fact they are illegal shouldn't stop me should it? After all, I'm just a collector. I'm not actually gonna shoot anybody with it. Help me out here xsbank. where can I get some?[/quote] Actually ther...

LH, you are right regarding a man power issue in some areas, but that does not mean respondsible firearms owners will choose to become criminals and keep their firearms. The law is the law, whether I agree or not I must follow it. So I will voice my concern and fight the anti-gun groups and governme...

Rockie is right when he says the majority of Canadians don't care either way. That is were the problem lies. I have participated in a number of Women's Only Weekends over the years. At the event women come to learn and shoot various different firearms. They are not required to have a PAL or any know...

On Dec. 6, 1989, a lunatic took a rifle into a Montreal school and brutally murdered 14 young women and wounded an additional 13. With the battle cry of "Never Again!" the government-of-the-day introduced Bill C-68, Canada's Firearms Act, and passed it into law in 1995. And it didn't do anything sp...

less guns in the hands of idiots, morons and crazies = good if don't agree with these equations then you are likely one of the idiots, morons or crazies. I disagree. Looks to me like you called anyone who doesn't share your point of view either an idiot, a moron, or a crazy. In addition, the Swiss ...

Right on Rockie you are correct less guns in the hands of morons is right, and that is what the license is for. Using that logic we should have more restrictions alcohol too. Less alcohol in the hands of idiots equals less injuries and fatalities. Stats Canada inputs results from arrests per Police ...

It's PER CAPITA, PER CAPITA, PER CAPITA for Christ's Sake. That's the The stTherate PER 100,000 population. Using the PER CAPITA RATE, I have a better chance of being murdered in Winnipeg, MB than I do in Chicago, ILL or East LA, CA because my hometown's total of people murdered may be much, much l...

[quote="Rockie As you say, statistics can be used by anyone to bolster any side of any argument. I prefer to stand back, look at the big picture and use common sense. You would be hard pressed to find anyone except hard core NRA members to agree that the United States is a safer place because every ...

You people keep missing my point. You have no objection to registering all kinds of things...except guns. What's with that? This isn't the United States. There is no provision in the Canadian constitution that gives you the right to bear arms. And no one is trying to take your precious firearms awa...

The crime rate in the subway system dropped by about 80% the next day. And the day after that the crime rate was right back up where it was before. You can't seriously be using that as an argument? I think you will agree that in the United States they have a very free and easy association with guns...

As far as police support for the gun registry, all I can do is refer to news items I've read. I guess anyone has the option to disbelieve it. http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/story/CTVNews/20060129/police_gunregistry_060129/20060129?hub=Canada The head of Canada's police chiefs says he will im...

Warning shots do not always go where intended and sometimes people trip while running after said thief. Gun fires accidentally and instead of bullet goin...

Firearms aren't dangerous. I am. Back to my "I have control" statement, why not register the owner, not all the firearms. That would have eliminated roughly a billion of this boondoggle. Happy hunting, and skeet shooting. You are correct there. Although we register firearms owners through the PAL i...

Bottom line? Before you institute and bring into being any law whatsoever that you expect your people to obey and for your police forces to enforce, YOU DO SOME RESEARCH TO DETERMINE IF THE DAMN LAW CAN EVEN BE ENFORCED. The result of all this colossal ignorance in Ottawa is easy movement of weapon...

Grist for the rumour mill: Flightcraft is going to lose their contract with Canada Post (Purolater) to Cargojet. Cargojet will assume the contract, purchase new planes, and therefor keep their head above water. Years of flying freight at below-market prices are a thing of the past. DHL will require...

Yes, we may have one this battle, but the Liberals will not stop there. They have proven they have issues with firearms and will keep on pressing to achieve gun control levels found in England or Australia. The problem is that they usually play the firearms community against each other, by targeting...

Spooky You can go to the Canadian Firearms Centre. http://www.cfc-cafc.gc.ca/ for information. Go to fact sheets and you will see Storing, Transporting, and Displaying firearms. Every firearm owner should be familiar with the basic laws, I know of a few people that had their firearms confiscated for...

My instructor in the firearms course said the same. But I keep hearing the opposite, usually from an official of the law. Maybe that's what he'd want me to believe. A bear coming through the screen door doesn't give a person much time to hunt down the ammunition. The Firearms act clearing states th...

No that is not what I said, vigilantism is individuals taking the law into their own hands, seeking out criminals and dealing with them. That is a job for the police. I am talking about being able to defend yourself when the police are not there to protect you. I believe in and support our governmen...

Hed, the authors of the 2nd ammendment arent headcases but the people who use it are. It is an antiquated law, that realistically serves no purpose in todays US relative to its original intent.
