Johnston: Which has to do with what? ... It isn't relevant to the discussion.

I guess I need spoonfeed you on what you wrote. Johnston wrote: Canadian laws have nothing to do with it

Ok Johnston, here's the hard part, comprehension. If, as I wrote: 'Canadian gun control makes it more difficult to obtain the killing potential that exists in America', to which you say 'Canadian laws have nothing to do with it', then why are guns being smuggled from America? why don't they just buy the smuggles legally in Canada? .. prev link: In the first six months of 2012, 55% of gun traces performed led back to US sources, with 75% of those being handguns. “About 70% of the guns we seize are being smuggled into this country, mainly from {USA},” Blair told the crowd when asked about measures being taken to cull the flow of guns into the country. --- sure, they're getting across, but that's more a technical interdiction problem with their 'good friends in america', than their guncontrol laws.

Johnston: .. in fact criminals don't go to gun stores in the US, nor do they go to gun shows.

Some do, you need retract; and potential criminals do, law abiding citz on the brink.

Johnston: 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? .. 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.

Wow, jumping thru mental gymnastic hoops, & the broken kettle defense: I didn't break the kettle. I didn't touch the kettle. It was already broke. I was away when it was broke. Somebody else broke it. So it's broke, wasn't worth much. I don't even like kettles.
... You posted rightwing propaganda, misinformation, disinformation, & now try to wiggle out with double double talk talk. You are not interested in a fair portrayal of the gun control issue, you are interested in skewing & distorting the issue as much as possible, so as to mock GC as worthless & pretend you've proven that 'more guns, more better'.
.. Time & again you cite rightwing 'gun studies' & fob them off as factual, disregarding the obvious, transparent spin & profit mongering inherent in the pseudo studies. Almost anything reflecting positive to guncontrol is anathema to you - then you support bg checks as if that exonerates you & makes you a staunch democrat, when even 85% of repubs supported it.
.. Over 75% of Democrats support gun control measures; you are in the party minority on this issue, & you have the unmitigated gall to argue against the dominant dem position by citing prejudiced pseudo studies usually from rightwing authors more intent on making themselves famous & rich via the gun industry.

Wanting hair of the dog that bit you, eh? My posts are full of relevant & revealing content, just not the content you & some GN's want to hear.
