[quote="Sgt Stryker":d23aa]I am not Canadian either but I must spout off on this one:

In the Western US there are many cases of bears, mountain lions, lynxes, deer, etc. invading people's yards. I am quite sure that western Canada is no different than Oregon or Washington in this regard, hell even here in Kansas we had a deer stomp through our garden at night.
If my kids, dog, cat etc. are being attacked by a dangerous animal I prefer having an AK-47 or a Tommy Gun over a sharp stick.

And as far as crime is concerned, maybe in the Eastern cities the cops can come fast enough to help, but in more isolated Western communities you are better off relying on Smith & Wesson for your protection.

*note: this is the opinion of one who considers himself a moderate DEMOCRAT, not a conservative gun nut.
(actually I'm a gun nut who really doesn't care much for either party)[/quote:d23aa]

yeah you see, we are allowed to have registered hunting rifles etc.. but I for one would never feel safe where a person can own an AK-47 or a thompson legally. Yes we do have cougars even here in victoria but we do our best one, to capture them before any harm can be done to the animal or to people, and two, to make sure the people know about it and know what area to stay away from.

I used to walk the train tracks to go to school (wich nearly got me hit a few times and wasnt allowed but meh) and I found out that there had been a cougar sighting in that area so for about a week i took a different route and soon enough the cougar had been tranqed and re-located into a much less populated area. No need for AK-47's.

The fact is in america you don't have freedom of speech because should you say the wrong thing to the wrong person they are legally allowed to have a gun, and then you say something they dont like they kill you.. OH but you can blame that on anger management issues. Well the fact is ya wouldnt be dead if the SOB didn't have a fuckin gun.

I'd sooner pay more taxes then let the scum of canada have guns. It's bad enough you americans have them. (And you wonder why we take away your guns at the border?)
