yeah, sure, right, ubetcha. every pirate/thief on the planet has the reaction
time of a snail, and shoots with the accuracy of an 8 year old girl on a
badmitten court.

joe, faced with a professional you wouldn't stand a snow ball's chance in
Hell
of living even a few hundreths of a second. ...

While this may or may not be true (I don't know Joe's background &
training), he is hardly likely to find any real pros, such as SEALs, FBI
SWAT, etc., committing piracy. Most perp'ing these kinds of crimes are
stupid addicts weakened by their habits (Smart crooks become politicians and
pass anti-gun laws to protect their less intellegent brethern). This gives
Joe an edge. When two young men broke into an elderly (80s) man's home
recently the geezer shot one of them to death with his own gun then chased
the other away. But you'll not read that one in the N.Y. Times or Washington
Compost.

And I can hit a 2" target
a 225 yards and thats with the carbine. Now with my Brit 303 I can hit
a crab trap float at 1000 yards on a rocking boat.

sure, and you can pork a broad (your type of words) 23 times in a night and
still do her virgin sisters the next morning.

That why you feel you need a hand-gun for protection.

crap:

was "the Patriot" about the battle of New Orleans in 1815?

Surely you must be kidding! "The Patriot" took place during the War
of Independence. The battle near the end of the movie, where the
militia was deployed in the center, and drew the British into a double
envelopment, was a depiction of the battle of Cowpens. 17 January
1781.

If so, the American
redneck farmers had hunting rifles that could fire accurately at up to 200
yards, while the Brits had rifles accurate to only 100 yards. The Americans
would shoot at the Brits until they were getting to close, then back up.

Apparently you don't know the difference between rifles and muskets.


The Brits also used a battlefield tactic they found useful for the flat plains
of Europe, namely lining up in rows and marching forward to overwhelm the
enemy, with losses. The terrain of the Battle of New Orleans did not make this
tactic viable.

That was a tactic used for thousands of years, with great success, and
had nothing to do with the terrain.

Watched 'The Patriot' last night. I loved the way a few bumbling backwoods
red-neck farmers got the best of Her Majesties finest soldiers.

True, but it wasn't the militia that won the war, it was Washington's
regulars.

The last battle was at Yorktown. Cornwallis was under seige, and
awaiting reinforcements. The French fleet cut off the ships bringing
those reinforcements, giving the victory to Washington. Didn't you
notice the French ships in the harbor near the end of that last
battle?

A friend has fits of remorse if he throws a round outside a 12 inch circle
at 1000 yards firing offhand (standing, no support) using an old Garand with
iron sights. Another whacked several Iraqis at nearly twice that range with
a .50 cal sniper rifle. They're what I call good, but it took alot of
training and practice.

I'm a mediocre shot by those standards. I'd need a scope and some support to
hit anything at 1000 yards. I can however lay round after round on a
man-size target at 50-100 yards with a pistol, and twice that with a rifle.
I have conscientiously spent many many hours firing literally 1000s of
rounds to achieve even that moderate level of skill.

I doubt that many pirates have bothered to practice that strenuously and
hence doubt their ability to shoot even as poorly as I do. In fact, I
suspect they shoot even worse than NYPD officers. One would be pretty safe
so long as they were trying to hit you - given the percent of bullets that
hit their target in typical shoot outs.

Very little was written about the "Battle of the Capes" between
the British and French Fleets at the mouth of the Cheasepeake
Bay. The Brits really screwed this one up by not engaging the
French. The French fleet successfully defended their postion.
After dancing around for a few days, the French were reinforced,
and the slightly outnumbered British fleet chickened out and ran
away.

On land Cornwallis was pinched off, and surrendered six weeks
later--entirely due to the British Navy's failure to engage and
fight the French decisively when they had the chance.

All Americans owe British Rear Admirals Hood, and Graves and
Prime Minister Lord North--the notable "Brit's who quit", that
threw in the towel, and our gratitude to French Rear Admiral de
Grasse for this relatively minor battle which had enormous
strategic implications.

The above paragraph from Jax is pure BULL****! The Canadian government has
no such regulations... never has never will. You are making this up Jax.

No non residents are permitted to carry any firearms... [nor have they been
for over twenty years] without a licensed hunting guide and in possession of
a valid Alien Hunting Permit... for that specific area. No person other than
a Law Enforcement officer or DFO enforcement personnel may carry a handgun
as protection in the forest.

Allow me to clue you in Jaxxies....
No American is permitted to have a firearm his possession on Canadian
soil/waters unless it is in transport to a recognized Outfitter or submitted
to customs.Model Make and serial number must be provided for each gun
Crossbows are restricted weapons
Handguns are restricted weapons
Any magazine holding more than 5 rounds is illegal (shotguns limited to 8
rounds)
Prohibited weapons include any caliber over .50 unless it's a flint lock,
some semi auto assault and fully autos. Only law enforcement may have those
weapons.
All Canadians must have a valid Firearms Acquisition Certificate to own or
purchase guns or ammo
All Canadians who own guns must have them registered and have a card for
each firearm.
Any household having firearms can be entered without a warrant.

Try researching your subject first next time you feel the urge to talk above
your abilities again.

Yes darlin... I concur.... they snuck that in disguised and passed the bill
despite a wall of protest.
Estimated cost of gun registration was 3 million dollars.... cost so far....
6 Billion and climbing.
There are still many people holding out and refusing to comply, hoping for
an arrest and court case to prove a violation of charter rights. None have
been arrested to date. Even the Veterans to protested on the Parliament
grounds in Ottawa.

Unfortunately the law has resulted in a fast growing new underground
business of high tech gun sales. Now the criminals have access to truly high
grade prohibited weapons and the law abiding population is left looking for
keys and undoing several locks and boxes to access a firearm to defend
themselves.

Yes.... some groups have formed but with no effect to date. The law stands
and is steadily accumulating a greater debt load with every passing month.
Rough estimates stand at 70% compliance rating. There have been serious
flaws uncovered... like multiple registration cards for a single weapon,
applications not processed correctly, aboriginal people are not subject to
equivalent requirements... I could go on but you get my drift.

Now only the police and the criminals have the high powered weapons and the
law abiding citizens are held hostage to home invasions by both groups with
no means of protection.

It's a farce of a law.
