The thanks you deserve. Your country is fucked because of people like you, and your need to keep guns.
Yes, yes, I know the underlying theory of gun grabbin' is that some people commit crimes so we must confiscate property from some other people who have not. The insulting idiocy of this idea is why gun control isn't broadly popular.

And now and then a grabber slips up and says that rural people like me are known to NOT commit violent crimes. But they still want our guns because

violence begets violence.
Except I'm not violent, nor is owning guns.

Mass Shooting Near Toronto

And your country is going to wait most of another year before beginning to confiscate battlefield .22's and other such weapons of mass destruction?
and Canadians will be saddened and shocked over this, and we will try to do better and improve things so it doesn't happen again. Ive looked, but I cant find the data on it, what number shooting this week was that for us? what number this year? Are we ahead of Florida yet? Alabama? Texas?

I somehow knew that your ilks desire to "end" everyone who disagrees with them would somehow be the fault of legal firearm owners.

Maybe you could look up "projection", and apply it to the endlessly violent desires of the echo chamber leftists in this forum.

Then why can't we (or you) have lawn darts?  Lawn darts don't kill people, people kill people.

Bullshit. DOGBALLED AGAIN. 

  • The platform of your gun forum contributions is based on...escalated violence, which you (dishonestly) brand as "self defense."
  • Areas with lax gun laws have more violence. My sources are myriad, Tom. A 50-State Analysis of Gun Violence and Its Link to Weak State Gun Laws
  • Areas with right to carry have increases of violence in the double digits. Source: John Donohue, 2007 and 2013. The Impact of Right to Carry Laws and the NRC Report: The Latest Lessons for the Empirical Evaluation of Law and Policy
  • Homes with guns have a tenfold chance of  suicide in that hiome. Arthur J. Kellerman is my source, 1993. Gun ownership as a risk factor for homicide in the home.
  • Guns in the home increase the change of the woman being killed by 300%. Arthur J. Kellerman is my source, see above.

I have two sets of them in my shed. What makes you think I can't have them?
Sale is banned in the US and Canada because they are dangerous and some people were injured and one person died while they were being used for recreational purposes.  Don't put them in your garage sale.

Fortunately, gunz are much safer so they are allowed to be sold.  Hardly anyone is ever injured or killed by gunz.

Wrong again, people still sell them in garage sales. Unlike guns, no one has made continuing to possess legally purchased ones a felony. Yet

Actually, you are wrong as usual, not me: https://www.cpsc.gov/s3fs-public/5053.pdf

You can possess them, but you can't sell them.

Also in Canada: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/windsor/health-canada-has-warnings-for-garage-salers-1.1207995

The point, of course, is the double standard.   Lawn darts are used for recreational purposes but are so dangerous they were banned.  Guns are also used for recreational purposes, and are extremely dangerous, but are not banned.  Why?

Glad you now know you were wrong about possession. You're welcome.

A press release isn't a law. This is.

Lawn darts will not be available through commercial channels after the effective date of the ban.
Garage sales aren't "commercial channels."

But we can agree about the double standards. Like lawn darts, possession of legally acquired guns should not be grounds for a felony conviction. It's unfortunate that it is in some places, and efforts are underway to make continuing to possess certain guns a crime here in my state. I was glad to see a similar effort declared unconstitutional by a federal judge in California the other day.

Actually you are wrong yet again.  Where did I say they were illegal to possess?  I said sale was banned.  Not the same thing.  Isn't this fun?
