That''s why you got so much dirty $hit up there--it never airs out.

Unfortunately, Yourassmus seems to have endless hours to explain to us why we''re such trash.

So what HAS your government taken a stand on since WW2?

"steady supply of AK-47s . . . that were made In the U.S.A."


Such as? Since the rifle was invented by a Russian, the U.S. military never used it. Most civilian AKs are made in China or the Eastern European block.

Kindly cite some U.S. firms that make AKs!

Like Ron Paul, I share our Founders'' belief that in a free society each citizen must have the right to keep and bear arms. They ratified the Second Amendment knowing that this right is the guardian of every other right, and they all would be horrified by the proliferation of unconstitutional legislation that prevents law-abiding Americans from exercising this right. Congressman, Paul has always supported the Second Amendment and these are some of the bills he introduced in the current Congress to help restore respect for it: H.R. 1096 includes provisions repealing the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act and the Federal Firearms License Reform Act of 1993, two invasive and unconstitutional bills. H.R. 1897 would end the ban on carrying a firearm in the National Park System, restoring Americans'' ability to protect themselves in potentially hazardous situations. H.R. 3305 would allow pilots and specially assigned law enforcement personnel to carry firearms in order to protect airline passengers, possibly preventing future 9/11-style attacks. H.R. 1146 would end our membership in the United Nations, protecting us from their attempts to tax our guns or disarm us entirely. In the past, he introduced legislation to repeal the so-called assault weapons ban before its 2004 sunset, and he has opposed all attempts to reinstate it. Congessman, Paul also recently opposed H.R. 2640, which would allow government-appointed psychiatrists to ban U.S. veterans experiencing even mild forms of PTSD.

COPS SAY LEGALIZE DRUGS!
ASK US WHY
After nearly four decades of fueling the U.S. policy of a war on drugs with over a trillion tax dollars and 37 million arrests for nonviolent drug offenses, our confined population has quadrupled making building prisons the fastest growing industry in the United States. More than 2.2 million of our citizens are currently incarcerated and every year we arrest an additional 1.9 million more guaranteeing those prisons will be bursting at their seams. Every year we choose to continue this war will cost U.S. taxpayers another 69 billion dollars. Despite all the lives we have destroyed and all the money so ill spent, today illicit drugs are cheaper, more potent, and far easier to get than they were 35 years ago at the beginning of the war on drugs. Meanwhile, people continue dying in our streets while drug barons and terrorists continue to grow richer than ever before. We would suggest that this scenario must be the very definition of a failed public policy. This madness must cease!

It is not logical to blame guns for a failed drug prohibition policy.
This story is just more government propaganda demonizing guns and ignoring the real cause of the problem(prohibition).

Also our media doesn''t advertise our weak spots and give out too much information, so the terrorists can use it to their advantage. Actually I don''t think we have as much of a problem with the terrorists trying to get us like the U.S. does.:)

"I''''m getting a bit sick and tired of you Candians coming to the US and using our health care facilities."

Well the only ones that come are the RICH SNOTS that think they are better than everybody else and can''t wait a couple of days. As for everybody else, no one in their right mind would go to the States. We have health care here. We would rather not die from your germ infested, filthy hospitals. Now as for the malls, you might not want to turn us away, you need all the money you can get. Your country is going bankrupt.


"One question there, why are you bothering to post on a US site?? No places to blog up there?"

Actually the only reason I post on the U.S. site is to find out what is going on in your country. With us being your neighbors I want to keep up with things there. Afterall if you get blown up by your enemies, we will likely go with you.

Another thing, in Canada we don''t like to air our dirty laundry to the whole world like the U.S. does.
