In reply to the discussion: Ottawa gunman launched attack with slow-loading, John Wayne-style rifle: experts [View all]gejohnston
(17,502 posts)30. actually, I did check my facts
and once again you throw personal attacks and bullshit.
all you did is attack what you think is the guy's ideology, you did nothing about the substance.
BTW, the crime dropped mostly because of unleaded gas and aging population. The guns used in most crime are pistols, which have been subject to licensing and registration since 1934.
Most suicides in Quebec are hangings and poison. How in the fuck could a gun law affect that?
DUh, Johnston, u a glutton for punishment: or if its being smuggled in from the U.S. or from another country those are people that arent registered to have handguns. ... in 2011, 60% of gun traces performed led back to U.S. sources, with 70% being handguns. In the first six months of 2012, 55% of gun traces performed led back to U.S. sources, with 75% of those being handguns. About 70% of the guns we seize are being smuggled into this country, mainly from the United States, Blair told the crowd when asked about measures being taken to cull the flow of guns into the country. http://www.cp24.com/news/toronto-shootings-stir-handgun-ban-debate-1.968069 .... and it's not confined to Toronto.
Which has to do with what? Also, what does Blair base his claim on? It isn't relevant to the discussion.
Once again you continue to use personal attacks, lies, logical fallacies, and plain bullshit. Your word salads are empty of content.

You can sneak anything into Canada. This OP is just another limp attempt to make a case.

Well said, but you are citing facts to a culture warrior. Feelings are more important to them

It's good to be back! Had some life events that took priority for a while, but all is good. (n/t)

"The "conversion to full auto" canard is a red herring to cover for your real agenda". Indeed

Speaking of accuracy, in the video you posted (#5) they are often only just hitting the pond. nt

Yup, just like ALL small-caliber autoloading rifles and ALL full-sized pistols.

Specifically, 19 *names* were affected that could no longer be used in marketing.

Ummm, expansion/fragmentation is what keeps rounds from overpenetrating and killing your neighbors.

Why are you so hung up on military FMJ? We are talking about CIVILIAN JACKETED HOLLOWPOINTS.
