Didn't like us talking guns, you'll hate this:
GOOD NEWS FROM CANADA!
By: Jim Moore
etherzone.com

I hope I'm not caught giving you criminals this information, but it's time
you guys got a break. So here it is. It won't be long and you'll have
another happy hunting ground. This one in the Big North Country.

I just got a letter from a gentleman in Vancouver, B.C., who tells me that
in Canada compulsory registration of firearms will kick in on January 1st.
That's only a few weeks away!
Isn't that marvelous?

Now, don't get discouraged over what you hear about people keeping guns
these days. In America, for example, we hear "patriotic" stuff like this
all the time:

"A well-regulated Militia being necessary to the security of a free State,
the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." -
Second Amendment.

And "To disarm the people is the best and most effectual way to enslave
them." - George Mason.

And "Americans have the right and advantage of being armed--unlike citizens
of other countries whose governments are afraid to trust the people with
arms." - James Madison.

And "No Free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." - Thomas Jefferson.

In Canada there is still some of that same gung-ho spirit left. So if you
hold up a store, or rob a house, or beat up an old lady, you can get shot.

But be patient. Once their firearms are registered, it's only a matter of
time until they're confiscated, then you guys will be free to do your thing.

That's what happened in Australia--or haven't you heard? They finally made
firearms illegal, and the bully boys down there are having a field day,
because nobody has weapons to stop them.

Let's face it, it's a gold mine down under, fellas.

And now the dumb politicians are doing the very same thing in Canada--first
registering weapons, then eventually disarming the country to give you boys
the edge. Once the government knows who has guns, rounding them up will be
quick and easy.

Isn't that great news!

Of course, one man's gun is another man's loss. You guys will be free to
murder, rape and rob, because you sure in hell aren't about to register
YOUR firearms.

On the other hand, the "responsible" gun owners who the government
eventually makes defenseless pushovers will be in danger of losing their
money, their possessions, their protection, sometimes even their lives.

But beware, those tough Canucks won't give up easily.

In the North Country, it's essential to have firearms because the people up
there supplement their food by game meat. Also, guns protect them against
bears and wolves and other dangerous animals--pardon the expression, like
you guys.

So naturally many Canadians won't register all the guns they own, which
will automatically make criminals out of decent citizens. But don't sweat
it. You're better at crime than they are because you've been at it longer.

In closing, let me warn you about one thing. It's true, you guys who commit
crimes may soon have it made in Canada, but you won't get off that easy in
America. Because if we're forced to give up our weapons we'll just sit back
and you'll get stuck fighting the terrorists.

Because you'll be the only ones able to.
