Re: Gun Registry

Helmut, I apologize for my "knee jerk" reaction to your post, it was not only out of line but it also lacked the respect you deserve for what you have contributed to this sport. I take this stuff to heart and should have spent a few moments digesting what you said opposed to respond so qu...

Vote not likely until Monday or Tuesday, while the PM is still in China currently, selling our oil. ;) He has to sell it somewhere.

Re: Gun Registry

I was a hand gun safety instructor here in Ontario, I own many long guns to this day. One of my hobbies was collecting gun accident(not one can be considered an accident) clippings specifically involving the use of hand guns. I can tell you for sure that stupid people do stupid things. You cannot l...

Re: Gun Registry

Well i have waded through six pages of this discussion and feel the need to chime in now. The USA bases its gun ownership on a 300 year old document. This document was written in a very different time than today by some very forward things fellas for sure. They clearly saw the writing on the wall fr...

Re: Foiled break in attempt.

We have a monster Akita and she is extreamly protective of our persons and home. I love having the big gal around.
Only thing that scares me is here in Canada we are likely to be sued by the bad guys because our dog bit them on our property and thats no joke.
Grats to you mastiff.

The registry was a knee jerk reaction to a lot of pressure created by womens groups(no offense just tru...
