It happened again :(

Thought this was relevant as far as the realities of US firearms laws, crime and comparisons.

AND this is what most people in Canada have been lulled into believing..that they actually have rights in Canada. That is the difference you just laid out so clearly. Thank You.

That's like blaming forks because you're fat or a a hammer because you smashed your thumb.



That's quite the lesson you took away from your classes. You failed,didn't you?



That's why there's such a vast difference in American and Canadian mind sets and attitudes when it comes to firearms and firearms ownership,simply because of the evolution of political systems starting with the origin of each country. Americans have "rights" carved in stone by the US Constitution. Canadians have "privileges" which can disappear with the stroke of The Governor-General's pen at the behest of the ruling political party's ideology and dogma.

False. Full-auto absolutely is legal to own in the US. It's regulated and expensive, but it certainly isn't illegal at a federal level. Stop spreading falsehoods.

US firearms laws and state specific, some have significantly heavier restrictions than others, the machine gun ban involves not being able to import guns made after a certain date, in the 80s somewhere.

Here is the list

The list is accurate when it comes to school shootings, which is nuts, 18 in 45 days, even if there was only one that was a "mass shooting".

Line052 if you want laws and rights like the USA , move there. ( the total votes for the libertarians, will tell you how many agree with you).

OK,only if one has a federal firearms license, has jumped through more hoops with ATFE,the FBI and local Sheriff and has a legit reason for owning/possessing one. The average American hasn't a hope of owning a full-auto "just because".

Indeed. That doesn't mean machine guns/full-autos are illegal.

They are not actually illegal in Canada either, just very heavily regulated but there are people who have them legally, not that everyone should be able to have them, at least not in my mind, not a free for all with no consideration of any outside information.
