    You understand that Canada is bordered by states like Montana with lax gun laws ......don't you? Besides, what evidence do you have that states like Nevada are influencing California's crime rate? California has a higher violent crime rate than the national average. How can one state give to another what it doesn't have?

    I love that common bs excuse DC is a cesspool of violent crime. so when we point out that fact combined that it had almost complete gun bans for years, we get "BECAUSE there are LAX laws in Nearby VA. ok, so why isn' Virginia's crime rate many times higher than DCs given DC banned guns? same with the areas surrounding gun banning Chicago

    Worldwide, we are among the safest probably quarter of the world. Compared to most of Central and South America, we are almost crime free.

    They MUST claim that, and their lobby MUST generate some backing poll, in order to preserve their narrative.

    Uh, no it's not. It's pretty easy to find ways into Canada without checking at the border. I'd say it's even easier than crossing the Mexican border.

    There are many places where force on force senarios with simunition can be staged, but you are right, an ambush might work, but it might not, particularly among those of us that do considerable training. I am still alive despite attempts, including an assassination attemp, described elsewhere, that could have gone the other way. And, there are a couple others posting here still alive as well.
    On you knees or standing, what is your preference?

    Yeah I already asked him why not being armed when attacked is preferable to being armed.

    He obviously can't answer that of course.

    It doesn't fit the narrative he was trying to set up.

    Well it wouldn't work with me... my exoskeleton A I would recognize any attemp on my life, activate the laser pods and fry him. Have to be careful, it doesn't like certain people like those against gun rights, has a hair trigger that can be activated by one of their snarls.

    I'm surprised at the amount of gun running to the Canadian border. We must stop that by banning guns here!!!!

    The York co sheriff office had to expand the operations of the CCP room. Wait lines were long from what I was told. I got mine back in 2000 when I moved to PA so wasn't much of a wait. Over the past year, the wife and step-daughter got their permits.
