If the Government Won't Do Anything About Guns

[Fudd]

If those dumb ass Conservative won't do anything about guns then its up to us to do something about it. And that's exactly what we did in our building.

The incident in Virgina prompted the tenants to make our building a "Gun Free" zone so we won't have any violence like all those mass killings going around. I wonder if were the first in building in Vancouver to do this or not?

Mayby this will catch on and we can get the entire city to be "Gun Free".

 

[ronnyraygun]

fyi, handguns have been banned in Canada since 1934, other types of guns at various times, yet criminals still have theirs.

a gun free building/city - just like a nuke free zone, dream on!

 

[Ray]

If the gun owners don't tell you they have a gun, then who's the dumbass?

 

[SilkyJohnson]

ARE U FUCKING STUPID????

Guns dont kill ppl, ppl kill ppl. Look whaqt happened in Carolina after they confiscated guns. All those old ppl in nice homes couldnt defend themselves, do i need to go further? And Virginia? LOL watch the video again and se how the cops were ORDERED not to enter the building until later, yea dont go in and stop the kid. U see the fat pigs outside hiding behind trees. Body armor? hello? If the students on campus had guns and some balls they'd hunt the shooter down and cap his ass. Remember the sniper that climbed the Texas observatory ans started shooting ppl? what happened? Thats right the CITIZENS went home got there guns came back and basically layed down suppressive fire while the cops went up the stairs and finally shot him.

Still want gun free zones?????

Handguns aren't banned, they are controlled. You can own one if you have a permit. You need another permit to transport one from one location to another, and yet another permit if you want to carry one. The latter permit is difficult to get, but I owned a handgun for many years and at various times had permits to carry it.

All those permits were a pain in the butt, but I agree with the regulations that require them. The regulations don't prevent criminals from getting handguns, but they do at least prevent law-abiding fools from needlessly carrying handguns around with them.

Once I realized that I no longer had any legitimate use for a handgun, I took a sledgehammer to mine and destroyed it.

This is just more typical media brainwashing bullshit !!!

Men have killed each other since the dawn of time. THINK ABOUT IT !!

What did they kill people with before guns? Knives, spears, bludgeons,
maces, you name it !!

If all the guns in the world were destroyed people will still kill each other
no matter what with something else. So should we outlaw baseball bats,
knives, bludgeons, spears, broken coke bottles or beer bottles.
While we're at it let's outlaw cars.......yah that's it !!

FUCK I HATE THIS TOPIC !!

If guns are outlawed only outlaws will have guns.
Just as all the gangs have guns now.
YOU THINK FOR A SECOND THEY BUY THEM LEGALLY?!

The only kind of gun control this country needs is.............

A SHARP EYE AND A STEADY HAND !!

Okay, I was just ranting.
The real true question is how do you keep the guns out of the hands
of criminals and wackjobs? That's where the problem lies, obviously!!


...............QM'r

 

[greatshark]

Guns dont kill ppl, ppl kill ppl.

Well Guns sure make it a hell of a lot easier !

Hey Fudd...

What is the colour of the sky in your world ???

Well put!

As a law obeying citizen having a gun thats properly stored and secured is not going to make me think that I can go on a hunting expedition for those that hog the left lane on hwy 1 while doing 80km/h. For that I much prefer a blunt object j/k. I have been offered god knows what over the years and have declined. I dont think that someone who plans on committing a home invasion would have the same "inhibitions". Most guns that are used in the commission of a crime are illegally owned by felons who are not allowed to own one in the first place (US example) although the same would apply here.

A dirtbag that wants to beat or kill his SO doesnt need a gun to do it and the argument that owning one makes them more likely to do it does not make any practcal sense. Is Canada any safer after the gun registry ? Yes ! for criminals.

Thank God

Finally, a group of mature people smart enough to see reality. I am soooo sick of the left wing thinking on this subject (i might agree with some of their other ideas tho). But what is happening is that because the large urban areas are seeing gun violance, and for the most part people in those areas don't own guns, its easy for them to cry " Ban guns' and the politicians smelling votes jump on the 'ban guns" band wagon.

I consider the road the conservatives took as a brave one, and with common sense - good on you Stevie.

How many more 'rights' do we have to lose before we realize we have none???

And on a related note..."the no fly list" I saw a quote from a lawyer (of all people) that said;

They are not GUILTY enough to be behind bars but they are not INNOCENT enough to fly

That's something to really think about.

correct, banned was wrong word

Handguns aren't banned, they are controlled. You can own one if you have a permit.

they are VERY tightly controlled (2 exceptions im aware of) to the point of nearly being banned, except for criminals who have free access

I THINK I know, but how about natives....what rules are they under?

 

[SilkyJohnson]

handguns are classified as restricted firearms. U can own one just as easily as a non restricted firearm (shotgun, riffle something big). But if u want to take that restricted firearm to a range u have to clear it with the ATT (authorization to transport) with the chief firearms officer for the province. But u can take your non restricted firearm to the range without the ATT.

 

[sdw]

Well Guns sure make it a hell of a lot easier !

People that legally own firearms have an extremely low incidence of killing people.

Don't mistake the criminals who illegally own firearms with people who have taken all the courses and complied with the law.

But u can take your non restricted firearm to the range without the ATT.

The other requirement is that you test fire at an approved facility so that LE has samples of your handgun's projectiles. You have to provide a test projectile for every type of ammunition that you register to use. You can lose your carry permit if you are ever caught with non-approved ammunition or non-registered ammunition. If, for any reason, you change the barrel of the gun you must test fire and register all over again.

The chances of a person with a legal carry permit using the weapon in an unlawful manner are pretty slim because you will be easily caught.

I applaud your initiative to dispose of your gun. I wish more people would develope that attitude.

As for gun regulations, I wish the government would make it much tougher for any body to get a gun or better yet just outright ban them. Don't know why that doesn't seem to be happening.

The Conservative are always talking about cracking down on crime yet they don't seem to be doing anyting about taking the guns off the streets. I'd be willing to pay a bit more in taxes to do a gun buy back program like in the UK or Australia.

As for those people with the negative attitude. People from neighbouring buildings are talking about starting a similar program in there buildings. Hey maybe this grass roots movement will develope into something big.

Yes, people kill people, and a gun is the easiest way they accomplish this.

Ban all guns, except for registered rifles that farmers need to keep animal predators at bay. Any crime committed with a gun should have an unequivocal mandatory minimum fully served ten-year prison sentence, repeat offence brings fully served life sentence. Any crime committed with a gun causing any sort of bodily harm should attract a fully served life sentence. Make the mere possession of banned firearms subject to a fully served five year sentence; repeat offence ten years. No suspended sentences. No wiggle room offered to judges.

Drugs, for me, should also find harsh punishment. No suspended sentences. A fully served ten-year prison sentence for the trafficking of any amount of any narcotic drug other than marijuana (please do not read into this exception that I promote its use, because I indeed do not). Repeat offence = twenty years. Busts that involve more than $100,000 street value should attract fully served life sentences.

Make prisons less comfortable places, consistent with being places of punishment for committing crimes.

The presence and application of severe penalties certainly will go far to reducing these kinds of crimes.

I agree about the uselessness of the gun reg. But please don't hit guns with any kind of hammer, they are both hardened steel and dangerous chips can fly off at deadly speeds. If you want to destroy it. Find someone with a cutting torch or take a boat ride and drop it.

Please note that I said I disposed of my handgun once I no longer had a legitimate need for it. If I were still living and working as I was when I first acquired it, I would still have it. There are many legitimate reasons for law-abiding people to have and use handguns. I am absolutely against banning them.

I would agree that most people living in urban Canada don't have any legitimate use for a handgun. Those who think that they are somehow safer in their homes if they have a gun around are, I think, just fooling themselves. In fact I got rid of mine because I felt that having it around just increased the risk of a stupid accident, not to mention the risk that a criminal might somehow get hold of it. If somebody breaks into my home while I'm away, well, my stuff is insured, but I'd hate for someone to steal my gun and use it to harm somebody else.

But, if I still had a need for it, I'd expect to be able to have it, subject to reasonable controls.

Just drop it off at any police station. They won't even ask any questions if you don't want to talk about it. Any professional is always willing to get a gun off the street. Making it difficult would be counter productive.
