This tyrannical crap has to stop!

[JIMMY 808]

Rocky the stampede board has been after that weekend for a long time.
  I don’t see the ground they are standing on the firearms are not being stored at the time of the show they are in use.  Even at night there is a guard just one more step to piss us all off. 

 
 I was just in the USA and there laws are getting worse than ours I was even fingered printed and had a full back ground check done.  But I think it gave me full firearm rights in that state.       

[Rocky7]

They aren't standing on any ground, Jimmy......except the ultimate desire to disarm civilians.

It's another liberal solution for a problem that doesn't exist and another move by Gun Zombies to make the ownership and use of guns more and more difficult.

ps:  I don't think this has anything to do with the Stampede Board.  This is just an ex-cop making up laws.

U.S. gun laws worse than ours?  No way.  Not even if you live in Chicago - at least there you have a hope of carrying a weapon for self-defence.  Ian Thompson would not be prosecuted in Chicago or New York.  Not even in D.C.

[JIMMY 808]

I sure hope it’s not the same ex-cop I thinking of that feller must be retired buy now.  You are likely correct in it not being the stamped board but they have been difficult to us in the past.  Don’t kid yourself rocky there laws are going to surpass ours.

Is this Freedom Rocky ? 
WAS SHOCKING TO ME

[BruceW]

When the cfo's acted borderline seditiously by attempting to circumvent the decision of our duly elected gov't to scrap the lgr they Should have been fired on the spot.

Instead, absolutely nothing was done, teaching them there are no repurcussions to furthering their own petty agenda's, not only in direct contravention of the wishes of the people but our gov't officers.

Unfortunately, we can expect a never ending of such nonsense.  If you wish your grandchildren to be able to own guns I would urge everyone to print off a copy of the petition, fill it, and mail it in.

Remember, all it takes for bad men to prosper is good men to do nothing.   At bare minimum, write your mla, And your mp.  No one is too busy to do that.

WAS SHOCKING TO ME

Sometimes, it gets downright depressing.  Was that S.A.?

A lot of people talk about freedom, Jimmy, but too many of them have been taught to fear freedom.  It's really shameful.   We owe a collective apology to all the vets who died for something far better than what we settle for.

[BruceW]

It's quite long, but worth watching.  Most, self described, "progressives"  would do themselves a service by paying attention:

 

[JIMMY 808]

Differnt ex cop.

My connection is to slow Bruce what's the run down on what he is saying?

[BruceW]

It's the best speech I've seen.  The speech takes place in Toronto.  He talks about what builds civilizations, what brings them down.  What builds economies, what brings them down, and what freedom is, and how it is destroyed.

Specifically, what built our civilization, why it is the greatest civilization in the history of man, what things are assaulting it's further existence, and why they are. 

Mere gov't employee's who create nothing imposing their personal agenda to limit the freedoms of others is what made me think of this speech.

It's really well worth watching in it's entirety.
