Gun Control Bill Introduced on 1st Day of Congress
-------------------------------------------------------
Gun control advocates introduced legislation on the first day of
the new Congress to ban high-capacity ammunition magazines used in
recent massacres, including the one at Sandy Hook Elementary last
month. Democratic Rep. Carolyn McCarthy of New York said in a
statement: "These assault magazines help put the 'mass' in 'mass
shooting' and anything we can do to stop their proliferation will
save lives in America." McCarthy, who lost her husband in a
shooting on the Long Island Rail Road — her son was also severely
injured — introduced the ammunition ban with fellow Democratic Rep.
Diana DeGette of Colorado. Gun control supporters are hoping an
apparent shift in attitudes after 20 children and six adults were
killed at Sandy Hook Elementary, as well as the shooter’s mother
who was killed first in her home, might pave the way for reform. In
the latest potential sign of that shift, Republican Rep. Peter King
of New York questioned ownership of assault weapons during an
appearance on MSNBC.

Peter King: "I really don’t know why people need assault
weapons. I’m not a hunter, but I understand people who want. I
understand people who live in rough neighborhoods or have a small
business and want to maintain a pistol to protect themselves, so
long as they’re properly vetted and licensed. But an assault
weapon? Listen, I’m sure 99 percent of people with assault weapons
are good Americans. But to give that potential to a mass murderer
who would be able to out-arm the police, who, as we saw, could
carry out the worst devastation?"

Which is why Dianne Feinstein should have her vagina sewn shut.

99 percent of women are not prostitutes, but to give that potential to
some disease-ridden whore who could infect thousands is just too much
of a risk.

I do believe Diane is way past her reproductive years, but just in case and
to cover both sides of the argument, you should probably have your penis
"vulcanised", so as to ensure that *_your_* lunacy spreads no further !

The majority of American males are NOT lunatics, but to give the potential
for further mass murder to some mindless, gun worshiping NRA addicts, could
result in the further deaths of thousands upon thousands of innocent
Americans, "is just too much of a risk" !

Conservatives and enthusiasts cheer the end of the long-gun registry
By Jeff Davis
Postmedia News | Feb 15, 2012 1:08 PM ET

OTTAWA — The Conservative government says its MPs will celebrate after
a historic vote to end the long-gun registry Wednesday evening,
despite vehement opposition to the move in Quebec and much of urban
Canada.

Public Safety Minister Vic Toews told reporters Wednesday, hours
before the vote, that the government’s actions are long overdue.

“It does nothing to help put an end to gun crimes, nor has it saved
one Canadian life,” he said.

http://news.nationalpost.com/2012/02/15/conservatives-and-enthusiasts-cheer-the-end-of-the-long-gun-registry/

OOPS!!! ;)

<+>

"Laws that forbid the carrying of arms... disarm only those who are
neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes... Such laws make
things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they
serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed
man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man. "
--Thomas Jefferson

"False is the idea of utility that sacrifices a thousands real
advantages for one imaginary or trifling inconvenience’ that would
take fire from men because it burns, and water because one may drown
in it; that has no remedy for evils, except destruction. The laws that
forbid the carrying of arms are laws of such a nature. They disarm
those only who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes."
--Cesare Bonesana, Marchese Beccaria, `Of Crimes and Punishments'

"Why is it that every time a lunatic uses a firearm to commit an
atrocity the gun-control fanatics want to punish the millions of gun
owners that DIDN'T do it?!?!?

That, of course, is a flat lie. We have our paranoid
"there's a conspiracy to take our guns" twits too. The
registry cost far too much, but it became, very quickly, a
useful tool for the police. They, and the majority of the
population, supported the registry.

seems to me a good compromise between national (constituitional)
security and security from people gone postal; in the (IMO rather
improbable) case of an actual invasion of CONUS, it's a simple matter of
ordering (or by initiative of COs) US depots to issue combat magazines &
ammo to civilians (aside that IMO, today's militia are
insurgents/guerrillas and the emphasis in a fighting homeland defense
doctrine should be about explosives & demolitions; I hope to have
glimpsed a faint reckoning of this in the large number of NG units whose
are engineers or combat engineers...)

Best regards from Italy,

This shows how a few urban areas have 10-20 times the violent crime
rate of the rest of the state, enough to skew the average and make the
nation as a whole look much worse than it really is. It's 'racist' to
discuss who commits the urban crimes.
http://www.criminaljustice.ny.gov/crimnet/ojsa/indexcrimes/2010-county-violent-rates.pdf

It also shows how little of the violent crime involves firearms.

That assumes the government controls the people. Our Constitution was

I'm seeing a book:

The Samurai, the Mountie, and the Cowboy: Should America
Adopt the Gun Controls of other Democracies?
By David B. Kopel
472 pages
Publisher:Prometheus Books
Place of publication:Buffalo, NY
Publication year:1992
Contents
1: Introduction 13
2: Japan: No Guns, No Gun Crime 20
3: Great Britain: The Queen's Peace 59
4: Canada: Love of Government 136
5: Australia: No One is Happy 193
6: New Zealand: Everyone is Happy 233
7: Jamaica: War on Guns 257
8: Switzerland: The Armed Society -----

And noting, there is now one book seller willing
to deliver it to my door for $4.20, and quite a few
will do it for under $7.00.

But,,,,, now I'm not automaticly going to say that
a book over 20 years old is useless,
but have not the laws in Australia & Canada changed?

I really do not wish to read, & put ideas into my head,
that are NOW wrong & incorrect!

By the way, does someone wish to tell me,
what final conclusion for the USA, Kopel suggests?

The set-up costs aren't justified. (ISTR we argued this

Well, Petey; who are we to believe here; you or Public Safety Minister
Vic Toews?

“It does nothing to help put an end to gun crimes, nor has it saved
one Canadian life.”
--Ibid.

And as to your claim "the majority of the [Canadian] population,
supported the registry":

Why the long-gun registry doesn’t work — and never did
[...]
"Canadian voters seem divided on this issue..."
[...]
"An estimated 65% of firearms owners registered at least one rifle or
shotgun, and no more than half of all long guns ended up in the
registry. Opposition was intense and has never abated. Grassroots
anger helped to fuel the rise of the Reform Party, and contributed to
the elimination of the Liberals as a political force in the West.
Despite their mutual antagonism, three opposition parties (Reform,
Progressive Conservative and New Democrat) united against the
legislation. Only the Bloc Québécois voted with the Liberals."
[...]
http://fullcomment.nationalpost.com/2012/12/11/gary-mauser-why-the-long-gun-registry-doesnt-work-and-never-did/

Of course, being the typical Looney Liberals, the Democrat Party here
in the U.S. demonstrate their continuing insanity over "The Great
Unwashed" owning firearms and have once again begun pushing even more
ineffective gun control laws, while ignoring what happened to them
after their last big push: losing both houses of Congress!

“Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting

Unlike Canada, where you are subject of the Government
Hell, the Canadian Constitution doesn't even recognize your right to private
property, and any rights you believe you have can be suspended by the
government enacting the "notwithstanding" clause.
You're in no position to comment about anyone else's Constitution, until you
stand up and get a real one for yourselves.

Why the long-gun registry doesn’t work — and never did
Gary Mauser, Special to National Post, Don Mills, Ontario, Canada |
Dec 11, 2012

In March, Stephen Harper’s government reversed decades of increasing
restrictions on civilian firearms, scrapping the controversial long-
gun registry on grounds that it was wasteful and ineffective. Gun
laws, the prime minister correctly said, should focus on criminals
rather than law-abiding citizens such as farmers and hunters.

Some claim that this Conservative policy flies in the face of a
mountain of evidence, and even represents an assault against reason.
Canadian voters seem divided on this issue, as well as some basic
related questions: Are firearms in the hands of ordinary citizens a
serious threat to public safety? Is registration an effective approach
to controlling misuse? How useful was the long-gun registry to police?
This article will answer some of those questions.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Gun laws generally tend to be passed during periods of fear or
instability, and only occasionally reversed afterwards. In 1913, for
instance, a fear of immigrants prompted Ottawa’s first serious handgun
legislation, requiring civilians to obtain a police-issued permit to
acquire or carry handguns. Non-British immigrants found it difficult
to get a permit.

Fearing labour unrest as well as American rum-runners, Ottawa mandated
handgun registration in 1934. In 1941, concerned about possible
Japanese sabotage, the government prohibited all
“Orientals” (including Chinese) from owning firearms. (After the war,
these restrictions were rescinded.) Terrorism in Quebec swayed opinion
in the 1960s and ’70s, spurring Ottawa to limit handgun permits for
“protection” to a handful of people, such as retired police and
prospectors. In 1977, a Firearms Acquisition Certificate (FAC) was
required to obtain ordinary rifles and shotguns. (The police decided
to refuse an FAC to anyone who indicated a desire for self-protection.
This is shocking given that in a typical year, tens of thousands of
Canadians use firearms to protect themselves or their families, mostly
from wildlife.)

The 1989 École Polytechnique massacre in Montreal prompted the
Mulroney government to introduce Bill C-17 in 1991, prohibiting a
large number of military-style rifles and shotguns. FAC applicants
were now required to provide a photograph and references, and to
submit to police screening. (Typically, vetting involves telephone
checks with neighbours and spouses or ex-spouses.)

In 1993, the Liberals brought in additional changes to gun laws,
passing Bill C-68 in 1995 (the Firearms Act). Over half of all
registered handguns in Canada were prohibited. No evidence was
provided that these handguns had been misused.

The heart of the Firearms Act to this day is licensing: Owning a
firearm, an ordinary rifle or shotgun became a criminal offence for
those who do not hold a valid licence. In addition, the 1995 law
broadened police powers of search and seizure, and expanded the types
of officials who could make use of such powers, and weakened
constitutionally-protected rights against self-incrimination. To
coincide with the “National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence
against Women,” the Firearms Act became law on Dec. 5, 1995. However,
it took until 1998 to issue licences and require buyers to register
long guns. In 2001, all gun owners were required to have a licence
and, by 2003, to register all of their rifles and shotguns.

Not everyone complied. An estimated 65% of firearms owners registered
at least one rifle or shotgun, and no more than half of all long guns
ended up in the registry. Opposition was intense and has never abated.
Grassroots anger helped to fuel the rise of the Reform Party, and
contributed to the elimination of the Liberals as a political force in
the West. Despite their mutual antagonism, three opposition parties
(Reform, Progressive Conservative and New Democrat) united against the
legislation. Only the Bloc Québécois voted with the Liberals.

In 2002, the auditor-general revealed that the Firearms Centre had
grown out of control. Despite political promises that the program
would not cost over $2-million, costs were expected to exceed $1-
billion by 2005. By 2012, this had ballooned to $2.7-billion. The
auditor-general uncovered irregularities including mismanagement and
corruption. Her findings stimulated a parliamentary revolt. In 2003,
Parliament imposed an annual spending cap. The auditors’ reports led
to RCMP investigations of Liberal insiders and contributed to the fall
of the Liberal government in 2006.

To this day, it has been claimed that the registry is important in
protecting women. But in fact, there is no convincing evidence that
registering firearms has been effective in reducing either homicide
rates overall, or spousal murders in particular. Even though homicide
rates have been gradually falling since the 1970s, a wide variety of
researchers have been unable to find solid evidence linking gun laws
to this decline. Changing demographics, not firearms laws, better
explain the decline in homicides involving long guns over the past 20
years. It is difficult to argue that Canadian gun laws are effective
when homicide rates have dropped faster in the United States than in
Canada since 1991.

Another argument is that strict laws are required to monitor
potentially dangerous gun owners. However, in my Senate testimony, I
presented Statistics Canada data to show that anyone who has legally
obtained a gun is less likely to be murderous than other Canadians.
This should not surprise anyone: Firearms owners have been screened
for criminal acts since 1979; and since 1992, they have been stripped
of their firearms in cases where they commit a violent crime.
(Ironically, Canada does not currently have in place a coherent system
that tracks violent criminals on probation or parole — instead
choosing to track law-abiding, licensed duck hunters, farmers and
recreational sport shooters.)

A third claim is that long guns are the weapon of choice in domestic
homicides, and that registration can help to identify the perpetrator.
(This is related to the aforementioned claim that guns promote
violence against women.) In fact, the long-gun registry and licensing
are rarely needed by police to solve spousal homicides for three
reasons: (1) in almost all cases, spousal murderers are immediately
identified; (2) firearms are not often used to kill female spouses;
and (3) the firearms used by abusive spouses to kill their wives are
almost all possessed illegally. Statistics Canada data show that just
4% of long guns involved in homicides were registered.

In a typical year, there are almost 600 homicides and 60 female
spousal murders in Canada. On average, long guns are involved in the
deaths of just 11 female spouses. It is knives, not long guns, that
are the weapons used most often to kill women. Statistics Canada found
that most spouses (65%) accused of homicide had a history of violence
involving the victim. None of these spouses could legally own a
firearm.

Every home has a variety of objects, such as hammers or kitchen
knives, that can be used for assault or murder. Creating expensive
bureaucracies to register one or more of these items does nothing to
protect vulnerable women.

A fourth assertion is that the long-gun registry is an important tool
for the police because they use it 14,000 to 17,000 times daily.
Besides mistaking frequency of use with usefulness, this claim is
disingenuous because it confuses the long-gun registry with the
Canadian Firearms Registry Online (CFRO). Almost 98% of the queries to
the CFRO concern licensing, not the long-gun registry. The firearms
registry contains only gun-specific data, such as the make or model.

The statistics show that police recover registered long guns in just
1% of homicides. During the eight years from 2003 to 2010, there were
4,811 homicides; 1,485 of those involved firearms; only 45 featured
long guns registered to the accused. In none of these few cases have
the police been able to say that the long-gun registry provided the
identity of the murderer.

A fifth contention is that the registry tells the police who has
firearms. This is false. Neither licensing nor the long-gun registry
contains information about unregistered firearms. The most dangerous
criminals have not registered their firearms. Trusting the registry
can get police officers killed. When police approach a dangerous
person or situation, they must assume there could be an illegal
weapon. For this reason, experienced police officers have testified
that they do not find the registry helpful.

A sixth claim is that the data in the long-gun registry are too
valuable to be destroyed. Unfortunately, the many errors and omissions
in the registry vitiate its utility. The RCMP testified to the auditor-
general that they could not rely on it in court. Recent information
shows that many errors remain despite the best efforts of the Canadian
Firearms Program. Immense problems similarly have been reported
concerning the accuracy of the South African firearms registry and the
now-abandoned New Zealand long-gun registry.

The RCMP has reported error rates between 43% and 90% in firearms
applications and registry information. An Access to Information
request discovered that 4,438 stolen firearms had been successfully
reregistered without alerting authorities. Apparently, the thieves had
resold the firearms to new owners who (unsuspectingly) had
subsequently registered them. This is a classic database problem:
garbage in, gospel out. The irregularities stem from multiple causes
inherent in any registration system.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The evidence shows that the long-gun registry has not been effective
in reducing criminal violence. Nor is the Canadian experience unique.
No international study of firearm laws by criminologists or economists
has found support for the claim that restricting access to firearms by
civilians reduces criminal violence. And so ending the long gun
registry is consistent with the basic principles of good fiscal
management. Arguably any government program that fails to achieve its
objectives should be shut down.

In abolishing the long-gun registry, the Harper government was acting
in accordance with the available evidence. It is the government’s
opponents, whose ideological belief in the unproven efficacy of gun
control blinds them to fact, who are out of step with the available
evidence.

Yes, I'm a great fan of our libraries,
(actually, I spent 10 years as a library board member
and we succeeded in getting a new one built!)

But, for a book like this, I'd definitely be prone to underlining,
highlighting, dog-earing, and page folding!
And then, after that much effort expended on it, I'll
want to keep it forever!
(Something akin to "They will have to pry my books
away from my cold dead fingers" -
Hmm, I will not predict what my wife will do then, to
get rid of all my collections. ? Her problem, not mine!)

I've been quite lucky in life, and after a lifetime of very
frugal living, I'm now more accepting it, when my wife tells
me, it is just fine to spend $4.20 on a book for myself.

Thank you "SaPeIsMa" for suggesting this book.

Yes, Thank you.
After I posted, I went ahead and read some portions of
the book itself on some previews, then some other reviews,
and then I was reading that one.

A couple (perhaps haphazard, perhaps reasonable?) excerpts:
"Kopel stresses that Americans would find repugnant some of the social
controls found in his cohort group. He points out that the relatively
crime-free, but authoritarian, Swiss were considering whether women
should vote while Americans were debating the Equal Rights Amendment.
Although he seems to criticize the breakdown in social controls that
occurred in this country in the 1960s, he does not suggest that controlling
crime requires a return to an American past where the liberty of only some
of us was valued. Indeed, he casts the dissipation of social controls and
corresponding escalation in violence as an almost inevitable result of
American culture. For Kopel, our violence is an outgrowth of America's
greatest strengths and virtues¾ its openness, its ethos of equality, and its
heterogeneity ¾ as well as its greatest vices, "

"While the drastically different cultural landscape permits the conclusion
that the "Jamaican failure" is as inappropriate to project for the United
States as the "Japanese success," the Jamaican experience at least calls
into question the claim that we would be better off even if we only get
guns away from nonpredatory citizens. "

"The slippery slope from regulation, to registration, to confiscation,
which often is viewed as gun lobby paranoia, comes to life in the British
example. Kopel describes the almost comical slide from vast restrictions
on handgun ownership, to knife bans, chemical defense spray (mace) bans,
and bans on "devil dogs" (Rottweiler, etc.) to which people had shifted out
of security concerns. Although this slide was spurred mainly by the idea
that
self-defense is not a legitimate interest ¾ an idea that is currently only a
mild
and even aberrant strain in the American gun debate¾ it demonstrates the
potential for reaching extreme restrictions, one "sensible step" at a time.
"

"Kopel suggests that the gun restrictions in the cohort group are part
of a broader societal balance between order and liberty. ---
he shows that countries which have adopted stringent gun-control
measures have made other significant and broader decisions to favor
order over liberty. He describes search and seizure tactics used and
apparently necessary to enforce gun restrictions against much smaller
populations of gun owners¾ tactics that would make civil libertarians
in this country shudder in dismay. While Kopel does not contend that
severe gun control necessarily leads to the panoply of speech, privacy,
electoral, and associational infringements that have accompanied it in
other countries, he does suggest that so far they all seem to have been
consistent stable mates. This trend may be more than a coincidence;
Kopel describes the conviction among certain American gun-control
advocates that we cannot control guns effectively unless we scrap
the Fourth Amendment exclusionary rule and the requirement of
probable cause. He provokes the conclusion that when we "progress"
to the point that individual firearms can be taken effectively, we will
have lost much more than we have gained. "

Son, disallowing guns in bars is *extremely* effective. Hot-headed
drunken fistfights may occur nightly (very few deaths), but no

I live in one of those New Hampshire towns where we all meet yearly to
debate and vote on the town and school budgets and such other issues
as arise, or are petitioned. The few hundred of us who choose to
participate in person ARE the government and become well practiced in
its mechanics, such as Robert's Rules of Order and the proper and
effective way to present, debate and vote on amendments.

The press naturally seeks small items of controversy to build into a
story. I've chatted with them and believe the high but boring level of
democracy and civilization we demonstrate goes right over their heads.

Virginia bar *owners*...private citizens...most certainly *do* prohibit.

I'd bet that damn few, if any, bars where fistfights might occur also
allow open carry of sidearms. I say you are a liar for suggesting otherwise.

Odd, I've not seen any signs posted.

Do you have a cite to back up your assertion?

Somehow I doubt it.

Actually fist fights are often frowned upon in Virginia bars.

And yet you've not presented any case of a person carrying legally in a bar

it's not just bars...private citizen business owners in *every* state

Sure, sure, but before we go there let's see you show that bars in Virginia
are regularly signed against carry.

Then if you can do that, perhaps we can see if you can show that private
businesses regularly are.

I have.

But unless there is a sign telling me I can't carry, then I can.

We all noticed that you did a "goal-post move" here by writing "it's
not just bars...private citizen business owners in *every* state where
open carry is legal don't want you gun goofballs with your sidearms."

No cite: just more unsupported assertion, "doctor."

Here in Texas a "bar" has to receive in excess of 50% of its income
revenue from the sale of alcoholic beverages before a CHL carrier is
prohibited from entry with their sidearm.

Of course, even where less than 50% is alcoholic beverage sales, the
CHL'er is still prohibited from becoming intoxicated.

There is a bill prefiled for this year's legislative session to define
"intoxication" for the purposes of a CHL:

(A) not having the normal use of mental or physical faculties by
reason of the introduction of alcohol, a controlled substance, a drug,
a dangerous drug, a combination of two or more of those substances, or
any other substance into the body; or
(B) having an alcohol concentration of 0.08 or more.

Me, too.

In fact some have even made the news shortly after the Texas Concealed
Handgun License law went into effect.

The most memorable one was at the Luby's Cafeteria in Killeen; where
on 16 Oct. 1991 George "Jo Jo" Henard massacred 23 unarmed (by the
then-Texas gun law) people¹: including the parents of Suzanna Gratia
(Hupp²); who pushed the state legislature to passt the "shall-issue"
Concealed Handgun Law (with the help of then-State Senator Jerry
Patterson). George W signed it into law in 1995.

FYI: she later was elected to the Texas House of Representatives,
where she served for five terms.

Yes it does...it is illegal to open carry where licensed for
on-premises alcohol drinking.

Then you should be able to cite the statute that makes it illegal.

But before you start wasting your time, you should be made aware that while
concealed carry in a bar is illegal, the law is utterly silent when it comes
to carrying openly. Thus it's legal.


""It doesn't make a lot of sense that people could openly carry a firearm in
a restaurant, but a concealed-carry permit holder who had been through
training and an extensive background check wasn't allowed to carry a firearm
into a restaurant," said David Adams of the Virginia Shooting Sports
Association, the National Rifle Association state association for Virginia."

http://articles.dailypress.com/2010-06-30/news/dp-nws-guns-in-bars-20100630_1_gun-laws-concealed-gun-rights


And what's the title of the above article?

"New law to allow concealed guns in bars, restaurants"

Hey, not only can you carry openly, you can even carry concealed.

Now Dr. Faker don't you feel particularly ignorant and stupid?

You should.

Respectfully Andrew, you and dott. should consider:

The United States Code:
10 USC § 311 - Militia: composition and classes
(a)The militia of the United States consists of all able-bodied males
at least 17 years of age and, except as provided in section 313 of
title 32, under 45 years of age who are, or who have made a declaration
of intention to become, citizens of the United States and of female
citizens of the United States who are members of the National Guard.
(b)The classes of the militia are-
(1) the organized militia, which consists of the National Guard and the
Naval Militia; and
(2) the unorganized militia, which consists of the members of the militia
who are not members of the National Guard or the Naval Militia.

And our SCOTUS has recently weighed in.
In the 2008 decision of the Supreme Court in District of Columbia v. Heller,
the de jure definition of "militia" as used in United States jurisprudence
was
discussed. The court's opinion made explicit, in its obiter dicta, that the
term "militia", as used in colonial times in this originalist decision,
included
both the federally organized militia and the citizen-organized militias of
the
several States: "... the 'militia' in colonial America consisted of a subset
of 'the people'-those who were male, able-bodied, and within a certain
age range" (7) ... Although the militia consists of all able-bodied men, the
federally organized militia may consist of a subset of them"

Also note:
http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/militia
mi·li·tia noun \m?-'li-sh?\
Definition of MILITIA
1 a: a part of the organized armed forces of a country liable
to call only in emergency
b: a body of citizens organized for military service
2 : the whole body of able-bodied male citizens declared by law
as being subject to call to military service
Origin of MILITIA
Latin, military service, from milit-, miles
First Known Use: 1625

Obviously, the unorganized able bodied are included.

Also IMHO, it is worth noting that in our Federal system,
unlike your nations, the 50 states do have constiturions
that DO INDEED have some real power, & protections.
Many of them are much clearer and stronger than the 2nd
Amendment.

PETERSBURG, VA (WWBT) - A fight at a popular bar leads to the
shooting death of a Petersburg man. It happened around 1:30 Sunday
morning at Le'Venue of Bombay on East Washington Street in
Petersburg.

One person has been charged with murder, but police say more people
could be involved. Bernie Spratley, 25, died from a gunshot wound
to the abdomen.

He got into a fight with 21-year old Keon Hall while the two were
at Le'Venue. The brawl spilled into the parking lot. Police say it
ended when Hall shot Spratley.
