"he was just pointing out that 10 is not much safer than 15."

Yup. I seen a guy with three clips taped up in a configutation that allowed him to approximate a belt feed on an M16. Common practice in the military. Now, the Canuck made M16 actually works well (Bro told me that the yanks he dealt with would pay big money to trade M16s with them) and, the version (A6? I can't recall) fitted with a 200 round drum, it's a nasty piece. But, Dan's point is about bullshit legislation made to appease and not to do any real good.

That's way thread drift. But, this thread is defunct anyway IMO. Ran it's course. Only rehashes many other threads with countless posts and opinions ranging from thoughtful to just fuckin stupid. Fact is, the gun laws in the US suck. Why ? It's a mystery. The gun laws in Canada are taking a step backward. Why? Even MORE of a mystery. Especially when you add on the fact that we don't have a constitutional right to own firearms. The regression of our legislation guarantees the right of stupidity. Especially by our politicians.

It's a sad day here in Canuckistan witnessing the demise of the registry (especially because it means the POL* and PAL* will be gone too... unacceptable to me). Never thought I would say that. Maybe I am growing older and wiser too?
