I have long been aware of the media slant. I hadn't thought of the rush of sheeple, eager to buy. Christopher A. Young Learn more about Jesus *www.lds.org . wrote in message news:0rvqf85t8lg5vjjblr5esrv62mthc4ga7l@4a x.com... Likely lots of them over the years - but un-reported by the media.. Now that gun control is a hot topic, every single one is being reported. Another likely reason is a bunch of people who have not had guns, and know little if anything about guns, are now going to gun shows to get guns before they can't get them any more - and are stupidly shooting themselves and others. With all the gun nuts saying more guns will stop gun violence, sheeple will buy more guns. More guns in the hands of idiots will make for more gun deaths and injuries. Why do you suppose the "evil NRA" is pressing for more training in every state? *Plus, their gun-friendly friends will help train them and keep them from doing stupid stuff. Idiots will be idiots - training won't help. Just as crooks will remain crooks. Nah. Most are trainable, but you'll be safe and sound and gunless up there in Canada. *No worries, Mate. about 47% of Canadian homes have firearms in them..and the Great Registration failed miserably. Canadians dont trust their government any more than thinking Americans trust their own. Long guns only. And FAR less than 47%. *30.8 guns per 100 people is one number being bandied around - and approxemately 26% of Canadian households have one or more guns. 67% in the YUkon and NWT, and 15% in Ontario. Aprox 35.8% in the Atlantic provinces. *Those numbers compare quite closely to the percentage of rural residents in those areas. Indeed they do. *However as what has been discovered about the recently voided Registry...over 67% of firearms were never registered..so the numbers of actual firearms in Canada is quite...unknown. *I know of several persons with more than 10 arms..who registered (1) Other than farmers and hunters and drug dealers, I don't know anyone with a gun in their home. (except cops) I know several people who shoot competetively - both handgun and rifle - and NONE of them keep their guns at home. Why would that be? One assumes you live in the city? *Or have few friends? In the city - small city, but highly populated area - cannot get more than 5 miles from city or major town without getting cloer to 5 to the next one. *And LOTS of friends. Where I live..Id have to estimate that at least 80% of the homes contain one or more firearms. *In some case..many more. And where I live, more than 80% have less than 1. Collectors tend to not brag about the exact number owned. * A now dead friend of mine had well over 800 brand new in the box firearms when he passed from cancer. *His next of kin did quite well. Collectors around here tend to keep their collections under lock and key - and any guns "on display" are locked (trigger lock) and / or disabled (bolt removed, etc to prevent them from being fired - removed part stored separately under lock and key. and displayed in a secure place (well protected by alarm and surveilence).Any amunition stored separately under lock and key. And they do not advertise that they are collectors or have guns on the premises because they want to keep them. *Guns are one of the first things to be stolen from a house that has guns. (that's where crooks get guns).

The methodology of the left has always been: 1. Lie 2. Repeat the lie as many times as possible 3. Have as many people repeat the lie as often as possible 4. Eventually, the uninformed believe the lie 5. The lie will then be made into some form oflaw 6. Then everyone must conform to the lie- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text -- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Well that and gun shows.... TMT |
