How does that saying go? “You never want a serious crisis to go to waste. And what I mean by that is an opportunity to do things that you think you could not do before.”

Just the latest disgrace by the current federal government in Canada:
- it's incredibly difficult to legally get a handgun license in Canada to begin with - probably the most vetted people
- It's low-hanging 'omg handguns are scary - gangs use handguns downtown' opportunistic capitalizing without actually doing anything about the real issues (immigration, illegal smuggled guns, gangs, justice system being soft on crime, etc)

While there have been a couple of cases of guns being stolen, I do not see this new overreach in fixing any of the inherent issues or making the streets safer.

For those who would like to curtail or eliminate the second amendment, what are you offering in return? I’m not prepared to give up anything without appropriate compensation.

Do you have another right to insert into the bill of rights which will still (or better) provide a check on government?

How about improving the right to privacy (government and corporate data mining/holding)?

How about strengthening property rights: no trespassing and no search?

Throw out something, don’t just try to take away our rights.

Guns are not the issue. It starts with fixing our mental health system in the US

Just to be fair - would you change your mind if your children were killed in front of you because you lacked the means to defend against a home invasion?

These kind of personalizing the issue are lame. Big picture. That has to be the deciding factor for law. Not emotion.

Watch out folks or the Mods will shut this thread down for Politics. That's exactly what the hater Trolls want. No need to try to educate them - and besides many of them live in countries without a bill of rights.

No more politics. The mods have made their point. Let it go.


….and back to guns.

I built this bad boy for a partner.

I'm thinking about either redoing the couch in a different color or getting a new one to match the flame thrower tank next to the door.

You could try a period-correct piece. Something large in dark leather would be nice.

Or, since you already spent all of your money, get a few bean bags.

Hmmm, well, don't forget to consider the colour of the existing chairs in making your selection since I see they differ from the couch as well.

That said, your accent wall is spot on. Wouldn't change that.

Agreed, let’s stay on topic.

The baiters are being emotional & needing attention. Don’t cater to that drama.

So I have to ask...why do you keep engaging? Even though I don't particularly see the need for 2A, I happen to like firearms, and I'd like to see this thread stay open. But its like the last few of you can't let it rest. You aren't going to change anyone's opinion, nor will they change yours so just leave it well enough alone and post pics instead!
I like guns as well. First honest reply really, instead of other justification.

Bought a black SCAR 17 for maybe the best price I’ve ever seen. If things get weird like after Sandy Hook, the .308 SCARs could reach $6k again. Hope it doesn’t come to that, but figured I’d better get one now and lucked into one super cheap (relatively speaking of course). Should have on Friday, will post pics.

^ Nice pick up! Love my 17.

There's an anti-gun package going through the WH right now. Bet that most measures will pass and drive prices up on everything again.

Big question is, what optic to run on your 17?
