Americans don't care much when children are left to starve or die from lack of health care, either. The fetus had better not be harmed in any way, because it has MORE rights than children. Off topic, I know, but that's what the post made me think ot.Americans don't care too much when kids get murdered.
Otherwise, they'd do something about it.
Nothing wrong with having Canadians comment on policies such as this. After all, Canada borders this country for thousands of miles, and what happens here cannot be entirely kept out of their country; some effects from it will inevitably spillover.Rareboy & Bankside are 2 Canadian Jubers always on the Outside looking in &
And have you noticed how Rareboy & Bankside havent said ONE freaking word about the Shootings and Stabbing on New years day in Toronto? But they will WAIL on America till their hearts content....It's their usual tag-team event here...
I didn't hear about the thing(s) happening in Toronto.
I see validity on more than one side of the issue - including those who many of us call the "koo-koo, removed-from-reality crazy tin-foil-hat, the-sky-is-falling right wingers" who fear the fate if the "guns are taken away" and the government therefore entirely has its way. I can see this happening, as both political Parties have strong totalitarian elements in them (one SOMEWHAT more than the other - your interpretation of this may vary).
I do believe that it would be impossible for a disarmament to succeed, at all - unless accompanied by egregious and complete breakdowns of all privacy (i.e. the Government has the right to search you, and any or all parts of your property - owned or rented - at any time, for any reason, without your consent).
Nothing short of that would remove more than a small percentage of guns from those who already have them illegally.
If that, may God, Karma, chance (from JUB?), or something, BE ON OUR SIDE if the entire criminal world comes to believe that those who usually abide by the laws (such as farmers) will generally be unarmed. Home invasions would become easy. In the north New York suburbs and exurbs we even have a newspaper which recently published a map of which homes will be UNARMED if the legal guns are surrendered.
