I understand where you are coming from and you are right everyone should feel safe in their own home , but americans tend to go overboard with their weapons, my cousin's friend from Boston, has a small arsenal in his basement, i mean you can equip the Canadian military and still have stuff left over from his "toy box".Some people should not be allowed to exercise their right to bare arms. And as for the criminals you are talking about , it is the governments fault for being soft on them and letting them play the system whether they are white collar blue collar or no collar , murders,rapist , etc.

Don't get me wrong I love the fact that Americans can be somewhat "really" free, but with freedom comes responsibility and wisdom, and unfortunately not everyone has either of these qualities.

I agree there are too many rules, and they've all been mucked up. Frankly, the 2nd amendment is a federal right, therefor no state or local government should legally be able to restrict it.

In my mind, any civilian should be able to use any weapon not in current service by the US military, unless that person has committed a felony, of which any crime with a gun is.

There is nothing wrong with having an arsenal that most countries cannot match. in fact, I think it is a good thing.

also how does being anti gun equate being helpless. would you also consider all the civilizations before the firearm was invented, helpless?

You do have a point about the foolish war on drugs, but that is only part of the insanity down there.

And while anti-gun does not go hand in hand with being helpless, ones attitude on guns usually changes when facing the business end of one. Very few people who are so hateful of guns are willing to advertise said fact while also saying where they live. Proving they simply are cowards, because they know guns are used to protect them.

also is a gun the absolute one and only thing that people can defend themselves with? maybe an alarm system. or a dog to help prevent someone from entering your home in the first place. motion sensor lights perhaps.

plus, are ya'll just keeping the gun on your bed side table? that seems like a very paranoid way to go through life.

I agree, my favorite defense would be a nuke. Break in and you will cause the death of all life within a 60 mile radius. That sounds like a good defense to me.

This. Which is why if you are in your home, you shoot with deadly force no matter what.

And if you are not, you do what you can to get away from a moron, knowing that if you are cornered you can beat the crap out of him if you must.

The US has had invasion plans for Canada for many decades (not the least of which is "Code Red" from 1931), and has many times been grouped near the 49th Parallel, just in case things here don't go "properly".

Unfortunately, Canada has a Bushite Prime Minister at the moment, and our role as Peacekeepers has been replaced by aggressive policies, hence our stupid purchase of those F35s. Canada long ago proved its ability to develop and build offensive fighters (some see them in a "defensive" role, haw haw), and after we proved that, we went to what Canadians like to do, build transport aircraft, capable of delivering goods and materiel into remote places... like Northern Canada... and we do that as well as anyone. This suits Canadians.

Like I said, the most likely invader of Canada is the US; no one else is really interested.

The US has no need to invade canada. And Canada have very little need for crazy defenses since we will do pretty much anything to defend them.

However Quebec will always be a wild card.
