Gun Control Reform Activism

guillaum: I agree that gun control is essential. In Canada, the Firearms Act regulates who can own and what they can own. That is one reason Canada has a much lower rate of homicide violence than the US.

You have the required FOID card in canada, firearm owners I.D. card, as well as other guncontrol; ... aside, when I visited a friend in Ottawa maybe 10 yrs back he was excited about just getting FOID & a handgun, while I was more interested in Canada's gun control approach, Canadian-American role reversal!
I also suspect canada's abandoned guncontrol legislation about same time, where govt offices were flooded with phone books to swamp the proposed bill, was due to rightwing gun owner opposition & foul play, supported by infiltrators from the creepy NRA.
Aussie John Howard had the right approach. Well known that rightwing commonwealth tory party is well to the left of rightwing American repubs, more in the center. I think 90%+ tories would not want assault rifles or high cap clips..

guillaum: It does not matter that this movie mythstory masquerading as history has no relation to reality. Most Americans have no grasp of their own history, much less world history.

Exactly. Another anecdote, I was at a joe biden rally ~2008 & asked several fellow democrats what they thought the 2nd amendment originally meant. Not one even mentioned militia, just mostly 'well I think we should be allowed to own guns' or 'my husband owns a gun & he's law abiding' etc, as if today's mindthought applied to 1791.

You are an asset to this group Guillaum, pls stay; I think bill is just unfamiliar with your style - hey happens some times, I've been there too!
