Devilkin 0 Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 Happily our constitution does not include the right to bear arms, so we can make an educated decision about guns, instead of imposing a badly outdated concept in the 21st century.But Ill agree with the 'Go Canada'! concept. :DDev Link to post Share on other sites

UglyJimStudly 0 Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 Now if you would just allow gun rights you would be ok.Somewhere around 25% of Canadian households own at least one firearm. I could buy a gun if I felt so inclined; that I do not is a matter of preference, not rights. Seems to me we're already OK.So far as gay marriage goes, I'm kinda surprised it took as long as it did to get the bill passed. Glad it's finally done, but I don't like the various "social conservative" lobby groups that have sprung up, backed by US cash. Inevitable that US groups would try to export their ideology, I suppose, but I don't see how any real good can come of it. Link to post Share on other sites

SF is a relatively small city so that doesn't surprise me...Now, if they were going by most per square mile, SF would probably still have it. Didn't SF lose that lead when the 49ers released Jeff Garcia? :-) (actually, in all seriousness, Jeff gets so much a.ss it's amazing...everyone thinks he is gay, he's ugly as sin, but the guy is with a different hot girl every time I saw him out and about in San Jose. )Patrick Link to post Share on other sites

That won't exponentially increase the nature of the problem. Link to post Share on other sites

Handguns accounted for two-thirds of gun homicides in 2002, up from about half in the 1990s, the agency says. hmmm Link to post Share on other sites

So it is a very slanted statistic to suggest 1 in 4 households have a gun. Many here in Alberta own way more than one gun.Thus, just try and take our oil, Ottawa!!!! Link to post Share on other sites

Of course, that's from anonymous surveys. From the gun registry, about 15% of households own at least one firearm. So 1 in 7ish instead of 1 in 4. Link to post Share on other sites
SAM_Hard8 50 Posted June 29, 2005 Author Share Posted June 29, 2005 I really didn't want to make this a thread about gun control. I just threw that line in as a joke.I really meant to congratulate Canada for their stand on peoples rights. Link to post Share on other sites
