    Default Gun control satire...

    I wonder if he even realises the joke is on him?

    It's only a mistake if you don't learn from it.

    What an "IDIOT". Problem is there are countless thousands more like him in the US.

    You can see why the NRA is against any sanity checks.

    Only in America - with rednecks like that, who needs enemies???

    Speaking as a sporting shooter myself (target + feral animal control), just about any legitimate use of a firearm can be satisfied by a single shot rifle of the appropriate calibre, fitted with a 5-10 shot magazine. I completely support the level of background checks and controls we have here - in fact, I'd like to see police allowed to make random spot checks on registered weapons without having to make an appointment first..... (which they do - how absurd is that???).

    The only real use for a close-quarters weapon like a pistol is police/security - I can't think of any other legitimate application where a (more accurate) rifle wouldn't be preferable. So why are there so may pistols out there, and featuring on the news so regularly? I know lots of them are smuggled in, but IMHO there are way too many licensed pistols in circulation (and therefore prone to getting nicked...).

    As for semi-automatic weapons.....the kind of guy who needs a monster rapid firing gun to hit the side of a barn door is precisely the kind of person who shouldn't be allowed to play with guns. Who do these rambos think they are?????

    I'm still hopeful that the NRA will out-stupid themselves enough to get tighter legislation though in the US.

    Oh, c'mon! Everyone knows gun control doesn't work!

    Why, just look at Canada, which has an even higher firearms per capita ratio than the US! If gun control worked, then Canada wouldn't have correspondingly more fire-arm related incidents than... Huh? What? It doesn't!?

    Guess Canada is on Planet X too...

    That video must be upsetting a few people somewhere because it's been removed from where I posted it and I've noticed it's been removed from a few other sites as well. I've looked through youtube and haven't found it yet, I had a friend link it on Vimeo and when I went to watch it the video had been removed. I guess that just goes to show how powerful the Gun Lobby is in America if they can influence that kind of control over the electronic media.

    Oh the poor sensitive souls
    Guns are welcome but satire is not
    I always thought freedom of speech was part of the constitution (or whatever they call it over there) but that is not as vigorously defended as the second amendment

    Edit:
    How can I download this one?

    Skew, that's a mix of right and wrong. Maybe Canadians have more firearms per capita than in the United States. It looks that way because we can't hide anything. Second, you might want to look at crimes committed with hand guns, long guns and then make some comparisons.
    Smith & Wesson admit that, on an annual basis they sell more pistols in Los Angeles county, California, than they do in all of Canada. So there.

    In the past 15 or so years, I've had no trouble buying and selling shotguns but there are some paperwork hoops to jump through. Having suffered Shotgun Aquisition Syndrome for decades, I have weaned myself down to two: a 12 and a 20, both Russian Baikal. All the Americans, Europeans and South Americans are gone.

    Pistols? Try to buy a pistol in Canada. Up front, honest and over the counter. Just try. I did a lot of ISU target shooting/paper punching. Every pistol was a long, drawn-out chore of a process. Never more than 10,000 rounds per year. In a bold move, I decided that I would shoot IHMSA Unlimited pistol class. . . . . .. months to get the gun across the border from the 'smith in Idaho. Not exactly the tool to rob a liquor store. 14" barrel, anatomical grip, full length 7mm/.308 single shot, bolt action. Every bit as accurate as they are powerful. Hard on the ears.
