You're wrong about that, at least depending on your definition of a
"gun nut". The guys committing the murders are not collectors and
target shooters. They're mostly gang members and/or drug dealers
defending their turf. I don't really know enough about Canadian
cities and their culture to understand why they don't have the same
problem. Perhaps it's related to a different inner city culture but I
don't really know. I'm sure there must be at least a few gangs in
Canada, and I know there are drug issues. Maybe they've found a less
violent way to resolve disputes. Or perhaps the US "war on drugs" has
had some unintended side effects.

I would bet that 95% of the recent Chicago shooters own one or maybe two guns. Folks
like Harry, owning many guns, aren't the ones doing all the shootings. That's why the
idea of destroying all but three guns is simply stupid.

I suppose I fit your 'gun nut' definition, along with Harry and a few others here,
and I do enjoy using them - at the range shooting targets.

They probably do not have the war on drugs, making drugs exorbitantly
profitable. They either let the person OD, use small amounts, or kill them
for drug use. ;))

The population of those inner-city communities is mostly Democrat, 'cause that's
where most of the free stuff comes from. Therefore, Harry, et al, have to 'spread the
blame' to the farmers and ranchers in the rest of the state. Wouldn't want those
fine, upstanding, drug-dealing liberals taking the heat for the great majority of
shooting deaths in this country.

How is that racist? It is simply reporting a crime wave. You have one
right up the road from you too (In Bulletmore). What was it? 305
unsolved murders last year. Don't you think the culture has something
to do with that? At least exacerbated by the part of society who lives
by the slogan "no snitching".

If it bothers you that much, go to Chicago and clean it up, eh?

Racist asshole.




Is there an implication that the big difference between Montreal, Toronto, Calgary
and our big cities is due to race?

What made you jump on the 'racist' bandwagon?

I would have thought that with a three-week hiatus, you'd have come up with some
original names.

What unit was that in Vietnam again?

His unit was the Vietnam chapter of the sisters of the brotherhood.

A more learned man would have been in the British Thermal Unit.


He just squeaked through boiler cleaning training. That's the best
assignment he could get.

And most likely the only real work he's ever done (assuming it's
true).

That's easy.
Y'all have too many gun nut 'mericans....armed to the teeth and
itching to use 'em.
I would bet that 95% of the recent Chicago shooters own one or maybe
two guns. Folks
like Harry, owning many guns, aren't the ones doing all the shootings.
That's why the
idea of destroying all but three guns is simply stupid.

I suppose I fit your 'gun nut' definition, along with Harry and a few
others here,
and I do enjoy using them - at the range shooting targets.

I have several that were never fired and will remain that way. It's a
collection - like baseball cards.

What's a collection of untested guns worth? Sorry, the devil made me
do it. ;-)


Fair enough. These are all factory guns test fired at the factory. As
long as they remain that way, the value will increase - some more than
others. I have one that is selling for $1K (25%) more than I paid for
it less than a year after the imported supply was exhausted. I
generally don't buy for investment - I buy to collect.
