first comes registration ,next confiscation and then tyranny

That pattern has been repeated throughout history enough times.

USA gun mentality at it's finest.

Vicki, I highly doubt you draw a gun or the overwhelming majority of Canadians do, when a stranger comes knocking at the door.

Count your self lucky then forage. Some have had to. Kamala harris said she would use her glock if needed.

Interesting conversation.
US citizen: nice everyday urban guy.
This was during the BLM unrest and concern for personal safety. I asked him about it.

He was not worried, his reply:

"We all have guns, my wife, my kids, and me. We learn how to use them.
We do not hunt."

Me: Why?

US citizen:
Self protection. Criminals know we have guns. Come to my door, we will use them to protect our family.

Wonder what the stats on home invasion are in Canada to the USA?

I remember have a conversation with Murray Mandryk about this. He is such a tool.

I said where I farm it is a minimum 2 miles to 5 miles between yards. I explained how an RCMP officer suggested that if burgulars come in the front door that I should go out the back. Murray agreed with that.

I said then what? What if half of them are waiting outside? Am I supposed to hide until they leave? The RCMP said it is just stuff. That's why you have insurance.

I said no wonder we have the problems we do.

Rather have a gun than wish I had one if the situation came to that?

Tough one to call, wouldn't want ever to have to make that decision within a second or two.

Do you think Gerald Stanley would like second chance on which decision to make.

That's because the question asked. Is it worth it to kill someone protecting yourself? when it should be asked. Is it worth it to risk your life and the lives or well being of others to commit violent crime?

[blackpowder]

That's part of the problem with the gun discussion. It becomes a John Wayne issue instead of property rights and facts.

Further to binthere's comment, do you think Colton bushy would have liked a second chance on his decision?

It takes two.

When the bad guys show up just start blasting, God will sort it out later.

I don't know what Gerald Stanley was thinking in his situation.
I don't know if he regrets the decision but that confrontation ruined his life for sure.

A carload of FAS gangbangers in my yard would certainly be an example of a situation that I wouldn't want to be sorry I don't own a gun.
My worst nightmare.

Hopefully none of us ever have to face that situation.

Even if ones actions are justifiable, your life and more than likely your families is ruined.

The "What If" question will occupy your mind 24/7.

[TSIPP]

What if you did nothing and family members died?

Just remember, the little angel Colton had a stolen loaded firearm hanging out the window, extremely intoxicated and driving his mothers car, I mean like what could go wrong?

I'm not defending Boushie at all, nor stating Stanley's actions were unjustified.

Just discussing the fallout.
