40 Reasons to Ban Guns | Random Thoughts

1. Banning guns works, which is why New York, DC, & Chicago cops need guns. 2. Washington DC's low murder rate of 69 per 100,000 is due to strict gun control, and Indianapolis' high murder rate of 9 per 100,000 is due to the lack of gun control. 3. Statistics showing high murder rates...

I just renewed my carry permit. Besides having to watch a slide show and take a written test I had to qualify with 50 rounds between the three guns I want on the permit from 5, 7, and 10 yards. Besides ammo the total cost was around $150. Good for another two years. In just the past two years the law has changed requiring more of everything for new permits. Renewing is a lot easier. I renewed thru the Police Science Institute in Fresno which is right next to The Range, where I have a membership. Was nice being familiar with the shooting lanes etc.

That’s quite a few steps just to renew. I recently did mine in Florida and just had to pay the $45(?) fee and a few minutes later I was walking out with my new one that is good for another 7 years.
 
Last evening I had a discussion around the camp fire with both of the senior ladies we look after regarding guns....they were saying there are getting to be more shootings in Canada and something has to be done about the number of guns here.

I know both of them tune into TV news all the time and they are getting all the rhetoric those programs put out.....

I said Canada should have carry and castle/stand your ground laws here and any vulnerable person should be advocating for these.

They didn't quite understand so I elaborated and said that criminals would hesitate doing home invasions, car jackings and muggings if there was a chance that their victims were able to fight back and possibly kill them...

Crazily enough, both agreed and told me what I said made sense.

I also said our glorious leader is only responding the fringe minority to garner votes by taking guns out of the hands of legal gun owners and doing little to take guns away from criminals. 99.99% of all gun crimes in Canada were done by the use of illegally acquired guns.....the very small fraction of legal guns used in crime were committed by owners with mental health issues and should have never had their gun.

It's a good feeling isn't. Recently there was a bit of a drama in a park in a town two over from mine, two police cars showed up because some random guy was sitting there with a gun, kids playing all over the place. He was hauled away and subsequently charged. I was a bit concerned, here? in our little rural region? This doesn't even happen in the city!

Turns out it was one of those gel blasters lol. Guy was a bit unbalanced but quite harmless. The local idiot type. Lots of those blasters around the countryside, I even saw a group up on the range in a park by a river playing war games with them. I guess they had a permit but it was a town in the middle of nowhere with only a pub and not even a general store. When you get that far from civilization the towns police themselves pretty much. I keep a baseball bat behind the front door and a k-bar under the pillow but I'm just an old suspicious b@stard. Here you're allowed to kill people if they break into your house, but only after dark :D

What a ridiculous statement. Can you predict the future? Of course you can't. How do you know it's not a necessity?
Do you NEED a fire extinguisher? Not until you do. Why? Because you had no idea that fire was gonna start.
It might not be a necessity but it can be a great asset and equalizer.
Anyway you simply live under the veil of safety thinking you don't need one. Till one day you may wish you did.
Nothing wrong with being prepared because none of us know when the reaper will try to claim us.

Comparing a fire extinguisher to a weapon?

Now that's ridiculous.....

I've lived here almost 60 years and have yet to need a fire arm to protect myself in my own country.......now that's something to be proud of.

Good for you
But no, it's a most perfect comparison
You never want or feel the need for a fire extinguisher till you see fire. Is having one in the home or truck being prepared or paranoid? Why would you answer prepared for a fire extinguisher which would be the common sense answer yet think people who carry guns are paranoid? I like having options and being prepared. Others want to walk around with blinders thinking they know when in fact they don't.
 
Come on Bill, isn’t Canada an open carry fire extinguisher country? We don’t have to carry them concealed here anymore…and several of us don’t sleep with our guns under our pillows either.

You can choose to make silly liberal arguments out of context if you wish. It's what you people do. Just please don't drink any bleach.
The lack of comprehension, insight and logic is what got YOU and your side into this Trump24 nightmare.
It's ok. I understand.

You live a very gun cultured country-I don't and am very grateful for not needing a gun to live my life...

How many firefights or potential firefights have you been in? How many holdups or potential gun violence have you thwarted with your personal fire arm?

If you answer none to any of these, you don't technically need a gun to live your life.

Do I think guns create an equal playing field for the vulnerable.....I do, do I think Canada would do well to have a castle or stand your ground law with concealed permits.....I do...

I am very well versed on what firearms do and don't do and the need or not for them....

Fighting a fire with a fire extinguisher and taking a life with a firearm are tw0 totally different things.

Your questions are still ridiculous. How many car crashes have you been in? Plan on getting into one? Why wear your seat belt? Because your cautious and prepared.
I've been in two situations where I was armed. Both times my brain not my gun got me out of it. I carry a gun sometimes and when I do I pray to God not to have to use it. But I'll be GD happy if......and it's there. Really as simple as that. Others want to make more of it.

Fire extinguisher
Gun

Both are tools
How you use it is what determines good or bad.
They are inanimate objects.

One tool is designed to save, the other to kill......same could be said about motorcycle helmets and safety guards on power tools verses guns....we could be engaged in a game of "ping pong" going back and forth until the cows come home....

I've stated before that even here in Canada I think we should have some sort of carry permit and castle laws just to keep the bad guys at bay.....

We share a huge border with the US and the violent way of life in the US creeps into our cities as people migrate here. Our government is more concerned about taking guns away from legal owners and less with prosecuting criminals and even less with stemming the flow of illegal guns coming in from the US. The general public here is naive here to think they are 100% safe and don't need some sort of protection-security cameras and locked doors only go so far.

I won't go into my personal experience with firearms as it isn't necessary but I've never felt that I needed a firearm for safety here in my country and I've been to pretty much every major city and have walked the streets exploring, never got a gun pointed at me nor did I feel the desire to do the same to anyone.

The US has been wrapped in gun violence for centuries, and it's become generational at this point. Canada has been on a different path, the two converge at times but remain parallel for the most part.
 
We've already been round and round and nethers mind is gonna change. I'm glad you feel like you're in control of everything you can't.


Here is a fresh perfect reason why YOU never know. Go ahead and try to predict this and avoid it OR prepare for it because it may happen to you or her one day. Is your wife capable of defending herself from the turds shown here? Don't think so.

Wife killed in front of husband in armed robber attack at mall

The woman and her husband had been outside a Barnes & Noble at the Fashion Island mall when they were approached by two men at around 3.30 pm on Tuesday.
www.dailymail.co.uk www.dailymail.co.uk

At some point in time this country needs to take the gloves off. Here we have three dirtbags with zero respect for life that killed a tourist in front of her husband and others. There is ZERO doubt they did it and in my mind zero need for them to get a 'fair' trial. An immediate 'fair' execution in front of their peers is the only thing I see that's going to deter these types of people. Don't even let em say good bye to momma who'd say he was a good boy. Just BYE!!
