Old Fluff,
World-wide, gun ownership is under attack.
In the USA most ignore the issue as they feel that the Second Amendment is sufficient protection of their rights.
IANSA and the international ban gun movement is a huge effort.
http://www.theinfozone.net/salw9.html offers some insight into IANSA.
When the San Fransisco gun ban was voted on by the citizens of SF, most gun owners laughed it off claiming that San Fransisco is full of fools and left wing radicals. Groups in IANSA saw that vote as a step toward their eventual goal.
Count on the anti-gun movement using that referendum vote as proof that even in an American city, the people do not want handguns.
Liken the anti-gun movement to an invasion, they will raid and invade in the weak spots.
Canada is a large country, geographically with a huge inferiority complex, especially over the United States. They are one of the international leaders in the move to disarm.
The failed Canadian gun registration scheme that the government has brought in is proof that the government doesn't dare admit failure.
The group which hosted NRA for a meeting in Canada is one of the smaller gun groups, but are the least politically intelligent. The Liberals in Canada use the NRA as a lightening rod for their anti-American rhetoric.
This foolish move by the Liberals on handguns will be seen, by anti-gun groups in the United States as the 'bold policy' of an 'enlightened leader'.
These groups are like watching a glacier, they advance slowly.
Do you remember how John Kennedy stood in Berlin and said "All free men are citizens of Berlin"?
All free men are only as free as the most oppressed.
Canada sits above America, with an ever increasingly socialist government.
Americans hear about Canada's 'free' healthcare. Americans don't hear about waiting lines that can be up to months long.
Americans have been scolded by Canadians for not signing the Kyoto Accord. Yet Canada has seen massive growth in green house gas emissions.
Canada's Liberals are like a petty bully.
We can all hope that this election will see the end of the Liberals.
Any American who supports freedom should simply boycott all Canadian products.
Canada is America's top trading company. A boycott by American gun owners of all Canadian products would send a message to Canadians that 'we don't do business with petty tyrants'.
Did you know that in Canada the 'Canadian Auto Workers Union' supports the government's gun control movement? As well many cars sold under the GM, Ford and Chrysler names are made in Canada?
