Sounds like the folks in Detroit are finally learning the you need to protect yourself - I'm sure in time this will be the case in other cities - just takes time and enough crime to wise people up - http://www.foxnews.com/us/2015/08/21.../?intcmp=hpbt1
Very sad indeed the respect people have for human life.
who would have thought that:
“Home invasions have gone down,” he said. “A huge reason was that there was a huge spate of homeowners using their guns against intruders. More people have guns and it’s making burglars cautious.”
Does it really need to get as bad as in Detroit to have police on the side of law abiding citizens?
I prefer not to know what is happening on the other side of the border. Seems it's always bad news.
Excellent, one less thief to worry about.
There are some humans who just don't DESERVE respect....
You should know what to expect because like it or not - it will eventually come your way - don't think for one minute that your immune from this behavior - oh don't look at it as bad news -Quote:

It's just a matter of time - why do you think that these same issues won't be experienced up there - people are people - look at South America and Mexico and the US - all experiencing a high crime rate - the make up of your country is changing - don't say that I didn't warn you -
The US and Canada are two very different places Joe, if people are people wouldn't we have the same issues today along with other countries?
How is the makeup of our country changing?
I don't think it's gonna get any better here though.
i agree with Joe dont believe me just watch CP24 or CTV either a stabing or shooting death every day
The murder rate in Canada declined by 36% between 1991 and 2004, the U.S. murder rate declined by 44% in that same time.Quote:

You see more instances on the news but 20 - 30 years ago we did not have 5 million people in the GTA.
Ontario is one of the safest provinces compared to MB and SK.
wise up?? really?? You guys have gone stark raving mad!!Quote:

We don't have the same literacy, access to education issues and won't.
While we definitely have problems, the disadvantaged, and disenfranchised have access to more, that those in the U.S. don't.
Will things get "worse"? Imo yes, but it won't be to the same degree imo
It's just that we are used to guns - we get cowboy guns when we're kids - bb guns then hunting guns - I get when you think about it our country was formed with guns - so a gun is a gun - that's all - look at this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-yA2MavZeLw
I need to remember to include winks more often. Last two were tongue in cheek Joe.
Sort of teasing that guys down there are figuring how to use guns with them, and if you do grab a 12g some day. Might want to hope the "pilot" doesn't have a kicker drone with a kick.
