The wild west days remain in some States, and the 'From my cold, dead, hands' of the NRA, have a huge impact on elections“Guns don’t kill people, people kill people” All the more reason not to give them guns ye would think.
I spoke to my father in law about the guns issue. He said he would give up his guns no problemo if he had to. He reckons only the decent law abiding people would comply with a law compelling them to hand over their guns. The criminals will keep theirs. Creating a society of armed criminals and unarmed civilians.
There are no easy answers to the US gun problem. The Genie is well and truly oot the bottle and he’s no for going back in.
It's true that the criminals won't give up their guns, even where they have gun control, there's shooting almost on a daily basis, between rival drug gangs
20 shootings in the past 6 weeks, most end up in fatalities
It's scary times we live in
And it's the home grown loonballs who are able to buy semi automatic weapons, and guns that should only be used in War zones, why would anyone need that to go hunting ?
Look at the guns used by these mass shootings in the US, incredible to think that someone who has to be 21 in order to buy a beer, can walk in and purchase a weapon that can kill so many innocent people just going about their day
I get that some people like going to the shooting range, and that's fine by me, I have friends who have guns, but the gun nuts are the ones that need watching
Alex Jones says whatever comes into his head and 'damn the consequences'I was just saying free speech is just that free speech and that defend it the death is often quoted in the defence of the principal of free speech as for the fenian blood thing it’s not nice but it doesn’t bother me ,I don’t do the patriotic flag waving love my country thing so I don’t really understand your position there but whatever floats your boat it’s your boat not mine, I whole heartedly agree that we should all help each other out and try not to be cunts but I strongly believe that people have the right to say whatever they want no matter who it upsets that’s all I was saying I never mentioned the trucker protest I was actually referring to the Alex Jones comments and how some people say he should not have a platform maybe I should have said so in my post
He's a fucking loud mouthed asshole, and he incites the idiots to riot, it's what is wrong with a lot of these TV shows
And another reason why guys like Trump get elected, by running on platforms such as "We'll build a wall and Mexico will pay for it", remember that little gem ?
Jones is a big Trump supporter, and you only need to look at January 6th last year and the storming of the Govt building
They've been calling for Canadians who are involved in the border blockades, to attempt to do the same thing, across the line
I fly the Canadian flag at our house, like many people do, a symbol of the country that has welcomed me, and if that's me being patriotic, so be it
I also fly the Saltire from time to time especially when Scotland are playing against England, as my neighbour flew his St George's cross flag during the Euro's
When I see the Maple Leaf being flown by these nuggets as they drive around creating chaos, as if everyone in Canada supports them, it pisses me off
As I said they've hijacked it, so I'm happy if I've have cleared that up for you
As for the saying, it's been around for a long time and again, it's like some of the buzzwords that are used by these far right morons, and their followers, they fly the flag as if everyone is on their side, not the case
By the way, I sold my boats, but that's another story
As far as free speech, I believe in a certain amount of 'free speech' as well as a certain amount censorship is required, in normal everyday life, again my opinion
There's lots of examples where people have crossed the line, with their words, and got called out, and in some cases, got their arse handed to them, I don't have a problem with that either
Anyway, it's a beautiful sunny day and we're off for a walk in the sunshine
