This shooter guy seemed well-versed on handling firearms and explosives already.

[Asher]

He creeped out the owner of a gun club. In Canada that means he wouldn't be allowed to purchase.

[Al B. Sure!]

What? So personal aversions dictate rights in Canada?

[Asher]

You need to be a member of a reputable gun club to get a restricted firearms license, amongst many other things (see a previous post of mine in this thread).

This guy would've been red flagged by a large number of those requirements.

Yet another reason not to live in Canada. There's a reason it's called a "right" and not a "privilege."

[Asher]

Yes, yet another reason not to live in Canada. Requiring sanity of people owning handguns and high capacity magazine rifles.

The absurdity!

In the good ol' USA, that there be a right! You have a right to own as many guns as you want! It's a right goddemmit! A right!

I can own me hundreds of M16s so I can hunt me some deer! It's a ****ing right!

The purpose of the Second Amendment is to facilitate, if necessary, the violent overthrow of the government. Also, we consider self-defense a natural right, by extension of the fact that life is a natural right.

a) The government would kick your ass without even trying.
b) You are never going to be Rambo no matter how much you want to be.

You're going to blow up tanks and stealth bombers with your AR-15 and handguns? Really?

Guerilla warfare can be very effective.

I think if you showed that to Bashar al-Assad he would not find it funny or insightful.

Yeah 50 million angry fat men in bowling shirts and beer hats will certainly pose an unprecedented threat to the worlds most powerful military.

[Asher]

I find that Guerilla warfare is not at all effective when you just nuke cities or gas them.

Easiest way to crush a rebellion is to pick a city no one likes (for example, Dallas) and nuke it. Tell other cities they're next unless they fall in line.

Then all of the fat rednecks with handguns don't matter all that much.

Amazing that they seem to be overthrowing their dictator yet still manage to have gun controls and stuff..
