We Americans happen to like being able to own guns. It makes being invaded by a another country something we don't have to worry about. There is the Armed Forces, active and reserves, and then there are the citizens, who may not recognize Geneva Conventions or Laws of Armed Conflict. With all the gangbangers, rednecks and organized crime families, we are pretty must secure. So go ahead and hiss, snarl and fizz, you look cute doing it through a rifle scope.

Cargile: Please don't assume all Americans like to own guns.
I don't see why anyone should be upset about that second site. US isn't the only country with patriots. Unless there's something else on there that I didn't see on the index page.

I am of the belief that people living in urban areas have absolutely no justifiable need to own a firearm. People who carry guns quite often end up getting themselves shot, sometimes by their own gun. The constitutional amendment in the US to give everyone a right to own a firearm may have been nice back in the frontier days when you needed to defend yourself and you lived literally in the middle of nowhere, but today it has become nothing more than a sick joke on the American people.
Cargile: Americans themselves kill more of each other than any foreign army could every hope to do. The only place where that kind of argument has ever made sense was in Switzerland, where people recieve the proper training and (I'm generalizing here) have a good deal more common sense than I have seen in many people south of the 49th parallel.
As far as I'm concerned, the NRA might just as well be a terrorist organization, since the effect of what they argue for is pretty much the same (although my intent here is to criticize the organization, not it's members).

Anti-Firearm legislation is currently on the way in Canada (I wish it was here sooner). I don't know the exact specifics, but I do know the following: that you are required to obtain a permit to use a gun (or use this gun, I'm not sure). As well, people with criminal records will find it harder to obtain a firearm. Finally, some weapons are banned here in Canada.
I support it 100%. I feel that there is too much access to firearms in this world. Too many innocent people are being killed by those who abuse their right to a firearm. This legislation will reduce the possibilities of criminals obtaining any sort of firearm.
So you oppose of this huh? What's wrong with going to a government office and obtaining a piece of paper which will allow you to use a firearm? So you are a law abiding citizen? NOT TO WORRY.

That so, Tahna? Good...heheheh...Guess we Americans will have to finish our job that we started back during the War of 1812...Invasion of Canada! BWAHAHAHAHAHAH!
Just kidding, of course, I have nothing against my Canadian neighbors.
Chimerea, If you outlaw guns, then only outlaws will have them. We Americans have always the right to bear arms, and that can't be taken away any more. Besides, I like the fact that I can own a gun(even if I don't).
