I wondered when the 'right to bear arms' might make a mention... one of the things that endears Australia to people is that we have no such 'right'. Consequently our death tool by firearms is 95pa as opposed to USAs 50,000pa. I'm sure you have no idea about what life without guns is like but let me just give you an example. Someone attacked a girl at a hamburger join over here some years ago and I threw both of them out. If that had been in the US the assailants would have doubtless been armed and I would not have attempted what I did. And if I had been armed I would have HAD to shoot, more than likely. AS it was no-one even got hurt, just the pride of two teenagers who got beaten by a middle aged man in glasses (they stole my glasses would u believe!)
Guns kill people and it is after all their primary purpose. Australia is a fairly safe country and certainly compared to the USA. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Pete Theisen Sent: Tuesday, 25 November 2008 5:33 PM To: ProFox Email List Subject: Re: [OT] 25 billion won't do it?

Although Windsor is the one part of Canada that lies south of the US, south as in Windsor is very far north as in freeze to death. Also, Canada is a totalitarian country that denies its residents the ultimate civil right, the right to keep and bear arms. Oh, I suppose Rosie O'Donnell could get a permit, but the average Joe or Jane, forget it. The last trip I took to Canada they about tore my truck apart, "convinced" I was smuggling drugs or guns. Forget probable cause, the cunt inspectors just wanted to rifle through my stuff. -- Regards, Pete http://pete-theisen.com/ [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
