But there are some US Gun laws that will get you 10 years in pound you in the A55 prison, where in Canada, it’s fine such as barrel length on a rifle.

A 10 inch barrel on a rifle in the USA is “NFA” where it must be registered with the BATFE. Fingerprints, background check, forms signed by your Chief of Police, 60 day wait, and a $200.00 TAX on the registration. Some states make it illegal to possess even. However in Canada it’s fine.

Countries like ( Just guessing ) Sweeden, norway maybe, make Firearm suppressors (Silencers as hollyweird calls them) as common as a box of ammo on the shelf and completely unrestricted. It’s considered RUDE to not use a sound suppressor in some places. However in the USA, they are again ” NFA ” devices and must be registered, and are illegal in a few states in the USA.

The point is, people who advocate restrictions on firearms make no sense and usually attempt to justify it based on the reasons why firearms need to be AVAILABLE.

It’s like school safety. That’s a big deal in the USA of course, which is why there is a fire extinguisher in the hallways of schools. In the name of safety, there should ALSO be a cabinet in the hallways which contains a shotgun for any number of trained adults to have access to. Maybe the tag on it should read ” IN CASE OF MURDERING IDIOT ENTER CODE “.

Update: If a burglar breaks into your home, steals your gun because it wasn’t “securely stored,” and then shoots someone with it, are you a guilty of a misdemeanor? No — in the realm of hope and change, you’d be guilty of a felony.

Welcome to Canada. Seriously.

And what does he mean by “semi-automatic”?

(A revolver “automatically” moves the bullet chamber toward the hammer, which would “technically” mean there is a “semi-automatic” loading process going on, only “mechanically” different from a recoil-chambering, clip-loading pistol, so, by his “logic” only a two shot derringer or muzzle loader would be “legal“.)

This is one dangerous simpleton.

“hunting and target shooting.”

How about “in order to form a well armed militia”? Can we please make it a requirement that the read the constitution if they are going to run for president?

Boo-yah. Dirk Kempthorne has always been a good guy when it comes to these types of issues. I lived in Boise while he was mayor, and in Idaho for most of his term as Governor before I relocated to PRK. Nobody’s perfect, but he’s a good one to have at the Federal level.

The site explicitly states that Barack Obama recognizes civilian gun ownership for two just purposes, “hunting and target shooting.”

Go figure. Just like the Nazi’s in the 1930’s.

Yeah, if they decided to take a run at this, they will have anticipated all the pre-emptive moves. As I said above, they don’t need a list. A 20 year jail sentence plus a ruinous fine if a citizen is caught in possession or lying about ownership, will do the trick nicely. Just a simple yes-no question for you to answer should separate things out quite nicely. And, a shiny, new bureacracy to handle it all,..think Human Rights Commission in Canada.

The site explicitly states that Barack Obama recognizes civilian gun ownership for two just purposes, “hunting and target shooting.”

So if a criminal with a gun breaks in, you just keep dodging the bullets `til the police show up?

Someone posted the 7 stages of how to kill a democracy (or something like that) recently ….

I don’t have “seven stages”, but to create a police state, the state needs:

1. Citizens who obey state decree without question
2. Citizens who are dumbed down and can not think critically
3. Citizens who look to the state for solutions to their problems
4. Citizens that prioritize their loyalty to the state, not family, community or self
5. Citizens that look the other way or deny abuses by the state on the people
6. Citizens who inform on others for committing acts unapproved by the state
7. Over whelming bureacracy of the state in its executive, judicial and legislative branches
8. Crisis, whether real or percieved, to obtain additional control
9. Disarmament

This country is well on its way.

The anti-gun crowd seems to think that Americans will go the way of law abiding Australians or Brits, and turn in their firearms. ome will. I really doubt the majority will.

Where the “Civil War” in our country was not fought over the control for the government (i.e., the South suceded, the North attacked), I think gun-control is an issue where we might possibly see a real civil war arise. How big or small I don’t know, but I enjoy my liberty and I will die free, not a slave.

His Supreme Messiah Obama has given you cover for your pending racially inspired vote for Hillary.

Here are the facts:

I know people who had grown up in 1930’s Germany and have told me about the registration. It was 3 steps.
1. Register all guns. You still keep them.
2. You must store YOUR guns at the local police station.
3. Then the State declared a national “emergency” and nationalized all firearms in about 1938.

Unless, that is, Justice Kennedy can come up with some sort of squishy compromise solution that pleases no one. Which he probably will, and then the whole issue will be folded into the importance of judicial appointments to overturn such a crappy decision.

Good analysis. We don’t know what the court will do. There could be no majority opinion. Or if there is a majority opinion, it might skirt the issue. But thanks for publicizing what an anti-gunner Obama is.

SECOND LOOK AT NOT STAYING HOME IN NOVEMBER

Or when they come looking for your gun, tell them you sold it face to face to someone, but you didn’t keep records.

Snake307 on February 22, 2008 at 12:45 PM

By that time they would have implemented a registration system that makes it illegal to sell to a private party without updating registration records.

I have said for years that the left has to give up the revisionist fantasy – if you want to get rid of the 2nd, you HAVE to amend the Constitution, or the Constitition literally becomes meaningless.

2) Anti-self-defense = pro-criminal. There isn’t a way around it, if you restrain the victim it directly helps the perpetrator.

3) dentalque – that’s a bogus quote. I really, REALLY wish people would stick to the absolutely enormous body of fact on this subject and not keep repeating urban legends. It just muddies the entire damned argument. This quote has been known as bogus since just about the day it first surfaced.

The offending quote:

I wonder if she knows that some people look at her and think “Man, she got it all.” Intelligent, strong, tall, beautiful…

Here are a couple of others:

Ideas are more powerful than guns. We would not let our enemies have guns, why should we let them have ideas?

If the opposition disarms, well and good. If it refuses to disarm, we shall disarm it ourselves.

Joseph Stalin.

Germans who wish to use firearms should join the SS or the SA – ordinary citizens don’t need guns, as their having guns doesn’t serve the State.

Heinrich Himmler.

My greatest fear, however, is that each successive generation of Americans – starting in elementary school – will be taught that the possession of any firearm is indicative of an anti-social personality and, therefore, that said person is abnormal, e.g. the little boys who have already been suspended from school for DRAWING a firearm.

My fear – is that the Second Amendment will die – without even a whimper.
