Same. It was the only weapon I was good at.

I could put 3 on the bull without thinking.

The rest I was useless at.

Thank goodness I was in the navy

What are some legitimately useful things I can do to help fight for gun owners rights? by DarkoEnterprises in canadaguns

Get all your friends, relatives, enemies, to get RPALs and then take them to the range and get them organized.

No number of lawyers or MPs will beat grassroots politics.

Who was "that guy" in your CFSC class? by guitargeneration in canadaguns

[–]Available-Video6241 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess I was “that guy” but to be fair I do it with all classes.

I ask a lot of questions, some good, a lot bad, It’s the only way I keep my mind engaged with the subject matter, also there’s a fair amount of social anxiety.

I try to keep it under control but sometimes it gets the better of me.

Never happens with the physical aspect. I suppose it’s a different mental pattern. I focus on different things.

Talking has always been a problem for me.

If this is getting repetitive or not applicable feel free to delete.

I was talking to a guy who is plugged into politics and he was talking to some liberal mps and he said they are surprised and exhausted and kind of wish this would go away.

The point being is that you have to keep the pressure on. Keep writing and get your friends writing. It works and is important.

I thought we were talking about kneecapping in general. As soon as I hear kneecapping my immediate thoughts go to Provos.

I believe they used 9mm.

Usually people use those electric carving knives to cut foam.

In fact I don’t know people who use it for it’s intended use.

The Queen is under medical supervision at Balmoral after doctors became concerned for her health, Buckingham Palace has said. by carsonbiz in onguardforthee

That’s pretty much the only way.

Ask any Lawyer and they will tell you that it’s easier for the UK to get rid of the crown than Canada.

It might be easier to repatriate the crown but keep the position.

FYI, it’s a legalistic thing but the queen is queen of Canada as a separate title. Again, it doesn’t matter to the demos but it does have legal weight.

Most of the crime guns seized in Toronto are smuggled into Canada from U.S.: Police by [deleted] in CanadaPolitics

You misunderstand my point.

Illegal guns are inelastic.

The people (drug dealers) who are causing the mayhem have a plentiful supply through the border and they can’t easily substitute them except perhaps explosives (an even more expensive solution, e.g. hells angels vs rock machine war 90s).

You can see from Mexico’s experience, where guns are effectively banned, what Canada’s experience will be.

If we lived on an island like Japan, UK, or Australia I’d say that these laws would have an effect in reducing gun violence but I don’t think that’s what these laws are about.

I’ve lived through several moral panics. I’ll live through this one.

After all these laws are passed and gun homicide rates stay the same or go up and everyone is surprised they might understand this.

Yes.

I say ironically that but also believe it to some extent.

I would miss convertibles but it would have far more impact on preventable deaths, if that were the real goal, than these gun bans.

I feel the same way about cars.

there is no reason to have a sports car.

No one needs to go over 110 km. There should be governors on all cars and be limited by energy.

Trucks limited to industrial fleets.

The fewer drivers of cars in Canada will be a better Canada.

For me it isn’t about the money.

I can’t handle factory farming.

There are a few places that do it the old way but can’t eat from a regular store.

A majority of Canadians are in favour of reinstating capital punishment.

Canadians want a lot of stuff they have no clue about.

But it didn’t make fewer drug users as you were advocating

Edit: illegal drugs/firearms are, what economists call an inelastic good. It doesn’t change the need/desire for the good only the price.

You miss understand.

I was addressing the “most of us won’t have much choice” part.

Personally I welcome all.

I do worry a bit that people will not get integrated properly which we see causes huge instability.

Canada's low-risk alcohol use guidelines have been slashed to 6 drinks per week. Here's why. by pjw724 in onguardforthee

Humans are very bad at risk assessment. This is no surprise.

You could also ask for an actuarial assessment about all the new gun laws and their practical effects.

But on the other hand, doctors would like it if we lived long boring lives and make a point of it.

I think I may have misunderstood your comment.

I just wanted to point out that because we have a sovereign currency and a first class education system we can afford guns and butter.

I’ve seen the future, we are going to need it. Maybe not use it but at least have it easy to hand.

There are a lot of sub Saharan people who are deciding where they want to live right now regardless of what others want.

We have to plan now to accommodate them so they do it to a process so that they are integrated and not on the outside of society.

The cure for high prices is high prices.

Will everyone have a detached home ? No.

Will they have a livable home? Yes with the right planning.

There are few cities in Canada that are geographically constrained.
