Guys, we are talking apples and oranges. Gun culture in this nation is drastically different than in the US. Any attempt to make comparisons is futile. Canadian gun laws are complicated, dividing firearms into categories with requirements including registration, permits, training courses and exams for all allowed weapons. First-time owners must also fill out a survey that asks about mental health and criminal record. There is a background check and mandatory 28-day waiting period. Canada also has no law or constitutional provision guaranteeing the right to bear arms. Those measures didn’t spare the country from tragic gun deaths in the years to come and before as seen at Ecole Polytechnique in 1989. People might say that Canada has lost her innocence now, that she is a different place. The reality is that Canada is open to the same kind of hate that exists anywhere else; we’re just more polite when we voice our outrage. The difference Mike is this nation is not going to sit on her lorals and watch as innocent people are mowed down senselessly. We are not going to stand and watch our politicians sit back and do absolutely nothing. You may think we are being prayed apon but remember that is your prospective from your own life experiences. It’s an entirely different world here and we are merely hundred of miles away from you. People always put it in prospective of personal Freedoms. Well, I can take my grandson to school knowing he will come home that evening. That the chances are almost zero that he will not from a random person who wishes to kill the innocent with a weapon that’s sole purpose is to do as much damage as fast as possible. That’s freedom! That my loved ones have a best chance of not being caught in a crossfire and if we can make that possibility even less, then I’m all for it. I want every dam gun off the street and the perps who use guns in violent crime be thrown in jail to rot. If gun enthusiast need to jump through a few more hoops well so be it. If this nations population wish to be actionary about gun laws then so be it. It is a lot less painful then to be reactionary and do absolutely nothing after a mass shooting like in Uvalde, Texas.

Here's a really crazy thought, why not make a mandatory prison sentence of 7 years or whatever the real experts determine, a sentence which could have a very meaningful deterrent. For anyone who's commits a crime period with a weapon that has the ability to cause serious bodily injury. Like a gun, knife, baseball bat, hammer/axe etc. Punish the criminal and not the honest citizen and if a death happens during the crime with a weapon life without parole

Canadian province will decriminalize cocaine and MDMA for THREE YEARS to free up police amid an overdose crisis: Move comes just one day after Trudeau's ban on handgun sales was proposed https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10872439/Canada-temporarily-decriminalize-certain-drugs-BC.html Let’s see, drug the population, if you have ‘wrong think’ you’re assets are frozen, and you will be disarmed. There’s a book like that.

"We are not as good as we once were...and we never were." I still love my country and I have always known that we could do better, and the first step in that direction is to take the quote to heart. The realization of imperfection requires real introspective thought and dedication to improvement on that level. We will never convince some and that goal may neve be reached. It is the journey that matters.

Astounding it's been 25+ years since my Freshman year of college. Ran across my very first Psych. book from that year. Took Developmental the next...& Aberrant Psychology the following year. All those wonderful tomes that prompt one to posit: OMG! is that me?! =D.

A joke - but unfortunately true -

Yes. Precisely why we must quit thinking in obsolete terms. Everything is global. Nationalism is a fatal pathway.

Yes, that is a major concern, but my post was primarily regarding our failure to correct years of human rights denial and failure to correct years of 'blind eye' politics. Our arrogance and steadfast belief that we are the 'greatest country' in the world in the face of much evidence to the contrary smacks of Rome's attitude as the Empire fell around them.

Yes; memories of enriching times. Don't need money for that. Unfortunately, many- once they've achieved a modicum of financial facilitation- replace experiences with 'stuff'.

It has been 58 years for me and I still get that nostalgic and WTF? feeling when I run across an old text or other memory of those days. I still think sometimes, in spite of the facts that I was always broke that these may have been the best days of my life (and I have had a good life).

Absolutely agree the numbers are to large. But what your not getting is one gun gone one life saved by doing something positive to stop gun violence is worth it. It is not a waste of time. Up here in your attic your right to own a gun dies not Trump somebody's right to feel safe going outside. I agree that it is our goverment duty to find a fair line to achieve both. And I feel it's the goverments job to accomplish that task not argue about it endlessly but to actually do something about it. Our goverment just made a move. Good for them that is a goverment doing there job.

Getting there - stop eating all that food you post and you loose all you want -send it out my way

Criminals will always break the law its what make them criminals. What the goverment in canada is trying to do is reduce the amount of weapons that get used by criminals.. now we know very very few actually make them. So in canada they smuggle them in from other country's. And the steal them. So this is just a small step in reducing gun violence. Need a pistol to shoot at targets they have lots at the range. You can even own one just keep it at the range. Personally if you get one of your pistols stolen and it gets used in a crime I think your an assesory to that crime and shoul have to go thru court. People will be people and lose there guns always. Crooks will be crooks and steal those guns. No guns to steal no crime. Now how do we stop all those stolen American guns from killing Canadians

Now you can bunnyhop even higher you fcker! Good job

Dick Nixon was referring to Justin's father when he said "that asshole Trudeau" but as with the father, so with the son. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau (a distant cousin, to my regret) announced Monday that his government is introducing legislation to "implement a national freeze on handgun ownership" throughout the country. About 55,000 new handguns have been registered annually in Canada per year over the last decade. If you're an American citizen, be thankful we live in the U.S. and the Second Amendment is still in effect. For our Canadian members and friends, deepest sympathy.

Down to 207 lbs. Still need someone to do crunches for me, though.

I wish people that know nothing about firearms (or rights, for that matter) would quit posting nonsense. Ignorance can be repaired, but stupid is DNA deep. Assault rifle is just a catch phrase used by knee jerkers. it gives them a feel good righteous label to tag something. Armalite was the name of the company that Stoner started.

I just wish idiots would stop referring that the AR15 is an "Assault Rifle". AR does not stand for "Assault Rifle". And rifles based on the AR15 lower receiver design, come in many calibers, including shotguns. So to ban a weapon based on looks is asinine. But I do agree the application process for any weapon should be an in depth process. I hold a couple different type of firearms license and the process for them was way, way, more stringent than just buying an over the counter gun. Im talking, fingerprints, registering with the local sheriffs department, and a wait of several months for the detailed background check to get processed. But..... thats for law abiding owners. Criminals dont buy through local gun dealers. In my neck of the woods every weekend there is a gun auction, or an estate auction with guns going on. No background checks at these events. So this debate is pretty much a mute subject.

Fresh Freshman Year - 1963 - glad nothing has changed - eat your heart out @BUDMAN

Sure. But this economy is global. Whatever happens, everyone's economy is coming along for the ride.

That is a great start Ted, for it certainly goes after the criminals who use these weapons in violent crimes. I am very much in favor of our government going after and including an increase in criminal penalties for smuggling and perps who trafficking in firearms. My only issue is these laws would not have prevented Sandy Hook, Uvalde or many other mass shooting that used assault style weapons. Now I am not saying there should be an all out ban on these weapon for gun enthusiast have been using these weapon for years. My thoughts are if you wish to purchase this style of weapon, you must go through a very in-depth registration, mental health and criminal check. These are weapons that are designed for maximize destruction at an extremely lethal speed. With that privilege comes the highest responsibility in gun ownership.

I slowed my r0ll; eat more protein & fewer carbs & sugar. Working in a factory, moving around instead of sitting on my ass driving around all day doesn't hurt, either. Lift weights a couple-few times a week...& drink a couple glasses of H20 before meals to attenuate my hunger...etc.

did you stopped late snacks it will help!!!

Should be sorted now

The last image (seemingly in a completely different restroom than the first two!?) portrays a Timmah challenged with quite the conundrum: "Do I use the changing table and care for this baby.... or the garbage can?" And to that I say, giving it up for adoption is the righteous and loving path. Either the image says that or.... "I am about to drop a massive deuce in the sink". Congrats on your weight loss journey!

the criminals are the law markers labob ....... accessories to loss of life As Harry's post on mass killings show they do squat about it stop blowing smoke labob and law makers, action speak louder than words Labob install Xray machines at boarder crossings, funny their in airports to prevent a gun on a plane

Labob.. Its going to be slow and take a long time but we will get the firearms out of our country and away from the crimminals. . you need to understand you will never get all the guns from the criminals. that won't happen here and it won't happen there ..

Flying Dutch kept killing me he new to the Mod can u tweak it so i dont get killed asking 4 a friend hahaha

Thanks for the quick action folks. Another loser bites the dust

Skuzapo usually does it Sunday morning but he used a PTO day.
