It happened in another country, one so awash in guns, there are more
than one for every man, woman & child in that country. A situation
which does not apply to Canada.

"America ... just a nation of two hundred million used car salesmen
with all the money we need to buy guns and no qualms about killing
anybody else in the world who tries to make us uncomfortable." -
Hunter S. Thompson

"I believe there are more instances of the abridgement
of the freedom of the people by gradual and silent 
encroachments of those in power than by violent and 
sudden usurpations." - US President James Madison

"To be a social conservative is to believe that the 
poor have too much money, and the rich don't have 
enough." - J.K. Galbraith


"You need only reflect that one of the best ways to get
yourself a reputation as a dangerous citizen these days
is to go about repeating the very phrases which our  
founding fathers used in the struggle for independence."
 - Charles Austin Beard
