Default Why do Canadians need firearms?

I encourage all types of shooting communities to band together....

I hope they extend this program out West
I have a few rifles and a couple handguns I could sell worth much less to buy better ones.

Wow, ten to twenty cents on the dollar buy back program, who wouldn't jump all over that?

Just trade guns for meth. Cut out those nasty middlemen, and the cops already have lots of meth stored away as evidence, that'll be useless in keeping dealers off the street anyway !

The reason Canadians need guns is because of people who ask “why do Canadians need guns?”

What will they ask next?


That’s why.

I had a few tell me I don't need or have a use for hand guns. They didn't bother asking why.

I own guns to keep the voices in my head quiet!

Seems very very reasonable I mean those prices above are probably pretty close to what you told your "partner" you paid for them

The voices in my head keep telling me to go fishing and if I don't they don't stop telling me. I just keep telling everyone just be glad I don't own guns. But being a big time procrastinator I would never get around to loading it anyways HA HA HA

Pretty good informational video. They need to make several commercials like that with facts not fiction then air them on tv. Get the RIGHT news out there.

I need a gun because I hate the hand to hoof combat with furry critters as I wrestle them into my freezer. Ha...

My reply to folks that ask that question is simple...

Do you eat meat,,, if they reply yes,,, I ask them what they think about other people that raise live stock for food that feeds the world,,, and the folks in butcher shops that prepare it...

Some of them get it,,, not so much for others..Ha.

Yuppers,,, looks like its Elk roast tonight,,, Yum Yum...

Some people golf
Some people play darts
Some people like billiards
Some people prefer bowling
And some people like to make tin cans dance or see how close together they can keep the little holes or break the flying clay disks.

When you break them down, all of these sports and many others are basically the same - trying to make something go from A to B with the satisfaction of it not veering off to C instead.

I liked the video but they were wrong about one thing......when listing the reasons for owning handguns they X'd out hunting.

People do in fact hunt with handguns.......just not in Canada where the RCMP and the gov't say we can't.

Personally, I'd love to take my Ruger Mark III out gopher shooting........but somehow that's more dangerous than my Ruger 10/22 rifle with a scope on it so I'm not allowed............go figure!?!?
