question for the firearm phobes

[checking]

Declared new norms, real or not, have put us boomers on the outs.

Old days of gun racks on the back wind shields of your unlocked trucks, taking the 22 to the staff room, and leaning it in the corner, so after school you could plink at gophers in the PFRA pastures, passing your better firearms around to be admired, levered, closely examine by co-workers. All a big no-no, and hate to think of the current penalty.

Recall that we all managed to make it through that era in my immediate circle. Of course I came from the lawn dart society that didn't freeze up. Now it's don't move, and you won't get hurt. Too bad we have come to the norm of watching a downward projector.

Everyone didn't make it through, you would be lying if you didn't know someone who committed suicide or shot themselves accidently. Don't get me wrong here, I own guns and use them but it makes me sad when these tragic events happen.

So it sounds to me then that posters here feel we have adequate restrictions on firearm usage here in Canada. And that all the noise about the US is just foreign current affairs. Thats a relief.
The people getting paid by the pound to legislate are always looking for a reason.

I think the way Canada has restricted guns is just right. Just got a gun catalouge thrown in from a US sporting goods shop that I ordered fishing stuff. WOW. why do you need 100 round mags.Hand guns pages and pages and assault weapons.If I lived 50 miles south I could order and get free shipping to my door.

Since you believe you know my circle of friends, could you tell me who is missing from suicide by gun?

Yah, I'm a liar. I know someone who drowned from a thimble full of water. Also, I am bored to death over fears that non gun owners equate with firearms.
