Paul, the Second is an enduring debate which I have followed for decades as a student of Canadian and US constitutional law---and my father as lecturer long before me. It's a divisive and emotional issue in your country with municipal, state and federal governance making of it as they see it. A couple Supreme Court appointments could change it either way. All active interests, from one point or another, are "chipping way" at the Amendment. To that extent it's not a sacred, inviolable document to originalists or those who believe otherwise.

Americans feel strongly about it, as you say. They express their feelings here. Without scrolling back "Here we go again", I don't think I mentioned the Second although I not only have a right but a perfect right to respond as I do on international board that makes a point of welcoming participation. It comes as no surprise to me at this particular US political juncture that a tiny rump of members wants a gag order, another wall, for Parker adherents beyond their borders. Countries that tried it ended in ordure and decay.

The opprobrium attached to the once world-popular term of Ugly American disappeared decades ago. There's nothing ugly about Americans. Their country is favourite after my own. Rudeness has no place on this board. I'm done, too. Kind regards, King

Gentlemen,

As entertaining as this thread is I want everyone to back off a few notches. This thread become a political discussion which of course became heated. That is why political discussions are not allowed on this PGCA site.

Per the original subject of this thread, yes, I am a hoarder. In the words of Robert Leckie responding to Eugene Sledge's question of what higher power he believed in, "I believe in ammunition".

Have nice day!

You're right Mark, lots of ammo for my AR. Those 30 round mags eat it up in a hurry.

The problem is not that King Brown is Canadian, its that he disagrees. Thats why the zealots here want to silence him. Had he agreed with their position, he would be hailed and lauded.

No room for different opinions here. Right thinking only is permitted. Now where did I put my 20mm Vulcan Gatling cannon....

Bruce, you could have done better than " zealot ". When it comes to the 2nd Amendment, I'll wear that title proudly. The guys at the club will get a kick out of that new title seeing how they have lots of different names for me, none that I can say here. And now I can say we finally agree on something - thank you for the compliment.

Well Kirk, a lot of things are against the law... like transmitting emails containing top secret information on a personal certain phone using a personal server with and then lying to the FBI about it.
