But then you did, immediately afterwards. So, whatever. I'm not going to worry about it, and it's certainly not worth having an extended argument about. We'll each interpret it as we will, and the discussion will go where it goes, as it does in all threads on MERB. There's nothing that anyone...

No, that's not what he asked at all. His experience was with uncleanliness. He had a reaction to it, and asked if others had had similar reactions to anything, not necessarily uncleanliness, that turned them off. and turned them off to the hobby. He asked specifically about having a reaction and...

It seems like a massive overreaction, TBH. If it was an MP where an HE was the expectation then I don't see how it would enter into it at all. If it was a full service MP then even so if that was a concern presumably her mouth of her hands were clean enough for the job. There didn't really seem...

This is not strictly speaking true, I'm afraid. There have been 3 mass shootings so far this year in Canada. Still much, much less than in the U.S., but we don't go years between them. Canada averages about 3 per year. Also, the ammo capacity may or may not be relevant as there is a sales ban...

They're for everybody, including you. You had asked "what's next if we take the guns away?", but it's the same problem because you're not saying what guns are being taken, how they're being taken, who they're being taken from etc. For example, changing the legal age from 18 to 21 takes away guns...

Again this is way too imprecise. "gun control" is such a broad general catch all as to be virtually meaningless as a term. In Canada or the US? Ban firearms? reduce access to firearms? Introduce purchasing contrios? Exclude groups of people? Age restrictions? Educational requirements? Penalties...

You need to be more precise. Are you talking about the US or Canada or both? Also by "taking away" are you referring to confiscating guns, preventing the sale of certain types of guns, or preventing the sale of guns to certain types of people, or combinations of those?

Well, let's have a look at some basic numbers. The USA has about 120 guns per hundred population. Canada has about 35 guns per hundred population. It's not strictly apples to apples but the cultures are similar enough that we should be able to make a ballpark comparison. So, if we trust in...

Hence the federal change is doomed to failure comment that I made. State changes are entirely possible though, just cumbersome, as you need to wend your way through the NRA funded court opposition to make change. Meh. It is what it is.

It seems to have less to do with legislation than it does with what can get through the courts. Federal stuff is pretty much doomed to failure and every state initiative has to go through reams of judicial actions and appeals against them. It has less to do with who's in power than it does with...
