I think Gnu and I are in broad agreement on this issue.

Those who hunt and eat what they kill need rifles to do so. Bolt action single shot rifles, because if you miss a deer with the first shot, you ain't going to need a second.

Farmers who have to deal with vermin (varmints, call them what you will) need a shotgun, but not a multi shot pump action (that's for police officers).

People who transport valuable items like diamonds may have a case to carry a handgun.

All of the above should be issued with licences when, and only when, they have demonstrated their ability in a properly conducted firearms training course.

Joe public doesn't need the means to kill a neighbour who comes to his door to borrow a cup of sugar.

And nobody needs a military style semi auto for any purpose other than the murder of fellow human beings.

Survivalists, with their paranoid delusions about the apocalypse, should be locked up for the protection of the public.

Crazies usually don't buy guns from legit FFL dealers, they steal them from dumb fucks that don't know how to secure their weapons at home, or they buy them in a want ad from the paper. You see like I said, personal transfer of a long gun (not handgun) is legal everywhere without BG checks ... or gun shows .. again no BG checks. In many states however a personal sale of a handgun is ok also without BG checks. Pennsylvania being one of them. Many of these fuckers would never be able to buy a legit firearm from a dealer.

The laws vary so much state by state that it is impossible to control. Hence a defined Federal standard would help a lot. I have no problem with firearm registration. I have my handguns all registered in this state .. but it would do nothing but add more nonsense if the personal transfer and gun shows are not closed. And Gnu, I have written to every one of my reps for years and it still sits there wide open.

Of course it makes sense Gnu. If you fire and miss, that animal is a small blue streak in the distance. You won't get a second shot at it unless you are the kind of idiot who takes the chance of wounding an animal and leaving it to bleed to death.

We have armed police.
We have an armed National Guard.
If we have armed citizens who own those arms in order to "protect us from tyrannical government", we are expecting them (intending them!) to be used against fellow Americans. In fact, we are expecting them (intending them!) to be used against first responders and "the troops". Aren't we constantly exhorted to support the troops and honor the first responders? Why the fuck are we arming people so they can shoot them?... And incidentally go nuts every once in a while and shoot just plain folks (and kids). But that is apparently an acceptable risk in the service of being sure we are armed so that we can shoot the first responders and shoot the troops at some future point.

Seems to me that Timothy McVeigh's *only* mistake as a member of "a well regulate militia" (ha!) was that he used a bomb rather than a gun to attack the federal building. Because attacking the feds with a gun is *exactly* the reason we have a Second Amendment. Right?

Does this not sound crazy to *everybody*!??!?!?!?

And don't think for a minute that my only actions related to this are pissing and moaning. I have been actively working on violence and weapons related issues since the 1970s. Some may disagree with me, but nobody can claim that I am just talking.

PS
I do recognize a legitimate need for guns for certain restricted and regulated uses; e.g. a geologist mapping on Kodiak Island, or deer hunting for subsistence or even sport. But these needs can certainly be met with something well short of preparing everyone to shoot FBI agents when they become disenchanted with the government.

Ya CAN'T make bad gun laws. Ya can't get a bill passed if it contains bad gun laws. It will NOT happen in the US. In Canada, it happened because we have a different form of government BUT the good gun laws have been repealed here BECAUSE the legislation included BAD gun laws and the new government used that to repeal the GOOD gun laws too (except in Quebec... say what ya want about them Q-becers but THEY got balls).

WHY won't anyone listen to me? It's SO simple.

FINE... some of youse have GOOD gun laws. We don't and look what happened. Good combined with bad gun laws are being proposed in the US and they will NEVER see the light of day. NEVER!

Youse just don't seem to understand the situation. It's plain and simple as the nose on your face. It's NOT about the will... it's about the way. And what bothers me most is the Yanks that say the problems "cannot" be solved. It makes me livid. Almost as livid as those who say NO guns are acceptable... that is innane... insane!... on a number of levels.

If that is all there is to say... that is all there is to say.... the NRA wins. Game over. Sad.

BTW... PM Harper has just given the go ahead for Canuck companies to sell any fuckin weapon they want to the Columbians... ya gotta love that free trade agreement he signed without Parliament approval, eh? But, we get fresh fruit all winter so it balances out, eh? Oh, yeah... they can now sell assault pistols and rifles wherever they want, near as I know.

Fact is, ya gotta do it right and not piss and moan that ya CAN'T.
TIA... I don't think of YOU that way.

Might of fact, even though I had been shooting with an NRA shoot club since I was about 9 or 10 I never really saw a pistol until one of the instructors in the club brought in a muzzle loader dueling pistol and let each of us fire it once...

Man who shot at attackers to defend home is acquitted


Legal experts say case could have implications for self-defence law in Canada

THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA - An Ontario man who says he has been cleared of charges stemming from an attack on his home says he is proud of the precedent the case sets with regards to Canadians' right to armed selfdefence.

Ian Thomson says a judge in Welland acquitted him on Thursday of firear ms-related charges in connection from a 2010 incident in which he fired three warning shots at a group of men who set his Ontario home ablaze with firebombs.

Some experts say the ruling by Justice Tory Colvin could have wide-ranging implications for self-defence law in Canada.

Thomson described the 2

1 2 -year legal battle as a 'horrible ordeal.' 'I fir mly believe they wanted to make an example of me, and to put the fear into every Canadian firearm owner that you are not allowed to defend yourself with a firear m,' he said.

In August 2010, Thomson was sleeping in his Port Colborne, Ont., home when he awoke to the sound of Molotov cocktails exploding. Looking outside he saw part of his house and his porch ablaze, and four masked men outside. A for mer firear ms instructor, he quickly unlocked his gun safe, loaded a .38-calibre revolver and stepped outside.

Thomson fired three war ning shots, which caused the men to flee, before dousing the flames with a g arden hose and calling 911.

When police arrived he was taken into custody, and his collection of firear ms - assor ted handguns worth over $10,000 - and ammunition were seized and impounded.

Soon thereafter, Crown attorneys charged Thomson with careless use of a firear m. These charges were later dropped, and he was charged with two counts of unsafe storage.

Canada's leading firear ms lawyer Ed Burlew represented Thomson, and said the decision is a significant victory for Canadian gun owners.

'We all have a fundamental right to protect out property and our families,' he said. 'You've got to be able to defend yourself without fear of prosecution, and I think that's well established now.' Crown prosecutors argued Thomson had fallen afoul of safe storage regulations because, on the night of the incident, Thomson had a box of .38 Special ammunition in his bedside table. The judge ruled this was irrelevant, Burlew said, since Thomson's guns were all securely locked away in a gun safe.

The four men who attacked Thomson were all sentenced to between two and four years in jail.

Unless the Crown decides to appeal the case, Thomson's collection of guns must be returned to him within 30 days.

Thomson said he came under intense pressure from police to enter a plea and accept a weapons prohibition, but refused due to his belief he was innocent.

'I would not cut a deal because I did not break the law,' he said. 'And - to use a pun - I stuck to my guns.' Thomson said he racked up about $60,000 in legal costs during the trial, but said much of that was donated by members of the National Firearms Association, the Canadian Sports Shooting Association (CSSA) and readers of the popular pro-firear ms online message board CanadianGunNutz.com.

Many messages of support for Thomson were posted on the Internet by gun owners following the decision.

'This case is extremely significant and Mr. Thomson's victory is a victory for common sense and freedom for all Canadians,' the CSSA said in a statement.

Here's another viewpoint that I've talked about a couple times... Back 15 years ago in Virginia all these small penis/big gun guys got together regularity, strapped on their guns and then would converge on a restaurant in a show of force...

Now, I'm sitting there with my 9 year old son and wife and, all of a sudden, not only do I not want to be in the company of so many boorish, loud assholes with guns strapped on, but I don't even want to pay for the meal... Until you are in the middle of one of these small penis/big gun circle jerks you really can't have a clue how these people are completely disrespecting your rights to go into a public restaurant and have a peaceful meal...

That's the part that we aren't talkling about... It's the rights of the folks who just want to hang at a mall, see a movie, attend school or have a friggin' meal...

I'm sorry, NRA, but your policies and power to inflict those policies on the country violate my rights!!!

Bobert... "But I don't need an AR15 to protect myself..."

Why do you keep saying things like that in response to my posts? That had absolutely nothing to do with my post or my arguement(s).

If ain't NObody gonna listen to common sense, I'll take my rifle and bullets and go home (fer ye ferriners, that's a play on words regarding a child's game called baseball).

Kinda like... I gotta take a seventh inning stretch an have a piss an get another beer... watch my seat. If we get a run... cheer for me, eh? That's what I gotta do.

Settle down, gn-ze...

We are on the same page here...

The point is that the NRA wants you to buy an AR-15 or a Glock... Those are the big ticket items that makes the NRA richer...

My point is the same as yours... Do what ya' gotta do with what you got...

"We are on the same page here..."

No, we are not on the same page... you are.

And until you turn the page, you are gonna have to read the same old headlines.

THAT is my point.

I don't get what you are saying, gn-ze???

I mean, yeah, I know what is going down with the NRA... They control the discussion... Nothin' new here...

What am I supposed to do about that??? I have written my congress-people... I write letter to the Charlotte Observer...

I mean, I get it that we're fucked...

Don't blame me for that...

I'm doin' what I can...

Hey, gnu:

The story from Welland concerns a man whose house was firebombed; he shot at several men who were throwing Molotov cocktails and had already set fire to his house and garage to drive them off so he could start fighting the fires. I think the judge's rationale was "appropriate use of force."

That story sounds outlandish, but something very like it happened to my family about 1962. It was Hallowe'en, which could get very drunk out in our eastern Ontario village back then, and in the shank of the evening the local youth decided it would be very amusing to build a huge bonfire in the middle of Main Street, which was a stretch of the highway from Ottawa to Prescott.

At first, kids with pickups brought stuff like bales of straw and old lumber. But they were building the pile right in front of our house, so they started wrenching the pickets off our fence and then somebody spotted our old boat upturned on two sawhorses in the garden. They were hauling the boat into the street when our Dad stepped out on the front stoop with a .303-calibre rifle and shouted at them to cease and desist.

There were no police in Manotick back then. The nearest law-enforcement office was an Ontario Provincial Police station 20 miles away in Osgoode, which also had the nearest fire station.

Dad shouted again, and raised the rifle under the porch light. Then he worked the bolt. Snickety-snack. The vandals started backing away, then began to run. In seconds, there was nothing but a heap of trash in the middle of Main Street.

We kids watched the whole thing from the bedroom window. I was eight years old and did not understand what was going on, but my elder brother did, and he was terrified.

Dad never told us if there was any ammunition in the five-round magazine, but I believe it was loaded; he would never have taken it out there if he wasn't prepared to use it.

That winter, our parents began planning to move the family to the city. Manotick was developing big-city problems, said Dad, but still had only country ways to deal with them. Driving off vandals with a rifle was not his idea of middle-class life.

Last night in Mt. Holly, NC, a drunk woman was arrested for shooting at passing cars... She didn't hit anyone but this is another part of the discussion... In Virginia, as well as other states, it's perfectly legal to carry your gun into a bar where there's a lot of drinkin' and arguing over dumb stuff... Hello!!!

Rush Limbaugh is ranting that Obama is about to sign an executive order to "take guns away from people" in violation of the Second Amendment.

Since Limbaugh is a big boy and must know the difference between confiscating people's guns and regulating certain new sales, I assume that he must also know he's lying. Or as we say, "Growing his ratings."

As for the Piers Morgan issue, check this out:

Alex Jones now has 100,000 signatures on his petition to get Morgan deported for daring to advocate gun control. Those people obviously prefer the Second Amendment to the First, which is another reason we should be worried.
