    The interesting question is if that "conversion rate" would equal 100%. Would ALL the same crime and murders still happen but by other means?
  2. SkyDekker
    Then that is where the confusion came from John. When I wrote dying of gunshots (and I am really not sure how you can see a code word in there) I meant dying of gunshots.
  3. SkyDekker
    Right, I agree, so when less guns and/or ammunition is available would from that not flow that less criminals will use them?
  4. SkyDekker
    Not if you are running an organized religion. In that case you just want people to listen, believe and above all open their wallets.

    I say he committed quite the carnage. 5 people dead is a carnage in my books.

    I was talking about the Canadian registry, not Canadian licensing. See, my post above this. When you keep twisting things it is next to impossible to have any kind of discussion.

    Except I wasn't talking about murders. John it is extremely hard to have any kind of discussion with you when you are constantly twsiting things around. It also greatly deminsihes anything valuable you may actually have to say.

    Sure they do, it is getting it back over the border that is harder. I don't see how the license would be a restriction on ammo? (I do understand the general hesitation in licensing, even if I don't agree with it)
  9. SkyDekker
    You are right they haven't. But, you still need your license to buy the amunition. (as a side note, the Chiefs of police value the registry, still haven't quite figured that one out.)

    Funny you should mention that. One of the arguments from the pro-gun side is that even if guns where not available people will use knives, bombs etc to kill eachother. But, you just indicated that criminals tend toward the path of least resitance. Killing somebody with a knife or a bomb or poison is significantly harder than killing somebody with a gun.
  11. SkyDekker
    Perfectly willing to admit that. Guns will always be around. Though, the less they are around, the less people die of them. One of the side effects of registration and licensing in Canada is that amunition is much harder to come by, since you have to be licensed and registered in order to buy amunition. It makes it significantly harder for the criminals to get their hands on it.

    The problem is it is all on borrowed money. Can we also credit him for the rise in foreclosures. The subprime mess, asset backed papers?
  13. SkyDekker
    I am talking of people dieing of gunshots and that it is more prevalant when more guns are available. I knew you would be one never able to admit to that.
  14. SkyDekker
    If I knew you had lots of guns and I really wanted to steal something from you, why wouldn't I just kill you first?
  15. SkyDekker
    Bullshit, the US certainly has reverse burdens.
  16. SkyDekker
    Fact remains that when more guns are available, more people die of gunshots. A simple statement that those on the pro-gun side are never willing to admit to.

    I don't live in a state. I know that many have strong opinions on the 2nd amendmend, but there hasn't been a definitive ruling on what the wording really means. It is yet to be seen if thise ruling from the SC will do that, but it might. I doubt whatever ruling would come from it would result in a full scale civil war though, as one poster seems confident it will. I also think that history has shown that not all military commanders or soldiers would be hesitant to follow orders to shoot at their own population.

    The conclusions you draw cannot be substantiated with the quotes you post. I still stand by my original quote that it is a sad state of affairs that a church needs armed guards.
  19. SkyDekker
    Pretty sad state of affairs when a church needs armed guards.
  20. SkyDekker
    I think it will be interesting to see if gun rights even exist as broadly as they do now in the US. In my personal opinion the intent of the second amendmend is now impossible to attain and as such am wondering if that does not nullify the whole thing. Secondly, it would be good to finally get a ruling on this whole militia thing.

    The question of parole should have never come up..... he never should have been in jail to begin with.

    Christmas Day my girlfriend and I will be at the Salvation Army Shelter downtown serving dinner to the less fortunate around us.

    Clearly that was Clinton....I hear he got a blowjob
  24. SkyDekker
    I think he is trying to spark a bit of a larger debate than what specifically he thinks the problem may or may not be. The question becomes if others, specially those on the pro-gun side of the gun debate, think there is a problem at all.

    I think it is becoming more and more clear that there are two driving forces behind national Intelligence in the US and that one is clearly in the lead.....Cheney's staff has an incredible influence on NI. I sometimes wonder if Bush's staff ever has a say at all....
