So, does this mean the next Marauderville is definitely out of the question? You really should try to make one. I think you'd enjoy meeting the gang face to face.

Nah, you certainly inject a certain entertainment quality to some topics on this site, I've already told you i'd shake your hand and hang out with ya. Some of your post are insane in my opinion, but that's just my opinion. I certainly wouldn't shoot you for them. I'm not a union fan, but I'm a fan of justbob and guspech (among others) and they are union. Hell, you should see the texts me and guspech have been sending back and forth the last hour about unions, it is what it is and we still get along. I was commenting on Facebook with a pro-union buddy that used to work for me in the Navy, we had a very civil discussion on his page. I asked him, as a former military person, if he would allow unions in the military. Nope. In certain trades and certain applications I'm sure the unions serve a purpose, but until they are allowed in the military, I want no part of them. And if that does happen, I'll join you in Canada.

The EPA and costly regulations have run most industry into countries where the costs are low enough to bring products back here economically along with LEAD and any number of seriously bad actors (where is the EPA now?).......is that better with and tremendous number of people being exposed??
Be careful drinking your tap water.......or your bottled water from APPROVED plastic containers.........or breathing Benzene (if you even know what that is) fumes when ya fill up with Premium fuel!!
The EPA is costing every one of us in ways you cannot begin to imagine......and it continues to grow!!

WRONG! Asbestos, just one example, which was required by the Federal Gov't to be used in many applications resulting in the companies who used it paying $billions and $billions in "penalties". In addition to the EPA every single State has it's own EPA. A company that exposes it's assets to law suits is not good for profits.

Last I knew Canadians could own firearms. So you could get shot at home too, but I'd stay out of Chicago.
IMHO, this country is on a rocket sled to hell.

Longbarrel guns yes, not handguns but for a very select few who have good reason. As i've said before i've never seen a handgun in my life. Handguns are for shooting people so other than police and some security officials why should they be tolerated?
Just my opinion.

I have a handgun and have no intention of shooting anyone with it, so does that make me intolerable? :dunno:

Well i'm not worried about you blasting me...
I'm not big on unions myself but at the same time i see the middle class being eroded further by big money interests.
The way it seems to be going there will soon be only the rich and the poor and very few left in the middle.
Not good.

You are entitled to your opinion. However, they were designed to be useful when a long gun could not be used. In the "cowboy" era they were chambered for the same ammunition as their long guns. Hunting, target shooting, varmint control, self protection in the wilderness, a backup to a long gun, are all uses other than two legged varmint control.
My understanding from folks on other forums is that a Canadian may own a handgun as long as it conforms to their standards on barrel length, I believe 4" and up. There are probably other requirements. I have no desire to emmigrate to a place where it is colder than where I already am. Therefor I am not up to date on the various provinces firearms laws.
If you check the statistics, where handguns have been banned, murder rates have not been affected. So much for gun bans. As I posted else where we don't need more gun control, we need knut case control. It is far to difficult to obtain information, help a EDP who doesn't want help, but clearly needs it and stop them from obtaining firearms. Why?, HIPPA protects them. The VA Tech shooter was a known kook as was the guy in the CO theater shooting, as will be this POS from yesterday. A gun is a inanimate machine that can do nothing without outside intervention.
My thoughts and prayers are with the innocents who lost their lives yesterday at the hands of a mad man.
I forgot, I have carried a firearm daily for 36 years and have not once shot a person. FWIW...

The right to self defense and the right to own a hand gun is not a requirement to self defense or to own a hand gun.
You still have the right to do nothing and to watch your self, your friends and family be slaughtered. You don't have the right to require the same of me.
Hand guns are used everyday in the USA to defend and protect from violence.
Of the 4 people I know who were murdered and the 14 women who were rapped including home invasion and torture none were engaged in criminal activity and all were unarmed.
Try walking around and driving around with a shot gun in your hand. Very, very difficult. A hand gun is for self defense and long gun is for killing.
