Sorry Nestor. Our U.S. Constitution addressed it (thanks to James
Madison), our Supreme Court has addressed it. There is no further

Democracy has a unique trait that other forms of civil governance don't.
It has a built-in pressure relief valve called "elections". When the
pressure for change reaches a critical point, then that pressure relief
valve starts to function by electing candidates that promise to bring
about the changes that the people want. Having such a pressure relief
valve built into the political system is one of the reasons why real
democracies (like the US and Canada) don't have revolutions like they do
in countries that call themselves democracies, but are really
dictatorships.


I can't wait for November, the midterm election. It should be a hoot.

The issue of guns is an American issue and I'm not going to stick my
Canadian nose into it. However, to my knowledge James Madison had black
powder single shot muskets in mind when he made those changes to your
constitution that called for a "well armed militia", and therein lies
the difference between gun owners and gun grabbers.


James Madison is the Father of the Bill of Rights. The first 10
Amendments afterwards. On my property, I am the "well armed militia".
I don't call 911 first. They reason I have a gun, for moral purposes,
is because a police officer can't fit in my pocket. They get heavy
trying to carry them and when seconds count, police are only minutes
away. I don't own a freakin' musket. SCOTUS says I don't have to. I
have a choice.

I truly believe, however, that with every public shooting where some
crackpot uses a legally registered gun to kill as many innocent people
as he/she can, the needle on that pressure gauge moves a bit.

True. But don't blame the gun because some fool pops a cork. These
are mental problems, lack of treatment and so on. Gun grabbers use it
for political gain, not because they actually care about humanity or
give one ****. They won't to own the narrative.

Never come after my guns, in my state, because some clown becomes
recalcitrant in another location. Know what I mean, Vern?
