BobP said...- A sane interpretation of the 2nd ammendment

I don't want to start a debate, but after reading SO many posts that support SANE gun legislation, I HAVE to make just this ONE comment, and then I will shut up....

Bob, we just had ANOTHER home invasion in the Maritimes. This time, a 34 year old occupant is dead from a gunshot wound.

I only have a fifty percent chance of being right on this, but I'll bet that when his home was invaded by criminals who see our recent SANE Canadian gun laws as a cause for celebration and he was looking down the barrel of that gun, he might have disagreed with some of the "sane" arguements offerred by those who would disallow law abiding citizens the right to defend their homes and families.

As per our recent laws...My gun is locked up solid. My ammunition is locked up separately and solid. I have obtained my Possession & Aquisition Certificate. I am (reasonably) sane. Everything is ready for my home to be invaded by criminals and the government both. You can probably guess which group I most fear.

BTW, don't tell me that the anti-gun lobby doesn't want to confiscate ALL guns. Tell that to the Aussies and the Brits and see how far you get. Better yet, tell it to the six million plus people exterminated during WWII.

God bless America - last land left of the free and last home left of the brave.
