Guns were a far-down electorate concern.




King, this constant reference to the popular vote, by you and by so many other people, is meaningless. It is simply their system. Just as Trudeau has a majority "mandate" with 39.4% of our vote in 2015. Just as Harper had a majority "mandate" with 39.5% of the vote in 2011.

What is telling in these circumstances is that those on the losing side (Dems in the US in 2016, Liberals in Canada in 2011) scream about the unfairness of it all. But are quiet as church mice when the shoe is on the other foot. (Canada 2015).

Please, whatever point you are trying to make (and there may be a good one in there) don't mess it up with meaningless drivel that, when drilled into, actually diminishes the strength of your argument.

Popular or not, the meaning is the same: one side got more votes than the other---in the current US case millions more than the winner, whatever the system.

The number is not meaningless in the context of an absurd notion here that those who voted against the winner supported the anti-gun position.

I certainly do not believe that all of those who voted for the anti-gun Liberal Left Democrat are anti-gun.

Some of them could care less either way. Many do not shoot or own guns, and are likely motivated by other things such as a desire to keep the Food Stamps or Welfare checks coming.

But when it comes to you King... it is the totality of who you support, what you say, and how dishonest you are about it that make it so patently obvious that you have been decidedly and demonstrably anti-2nd Amendment. You have a long history of that behavior which has inflamed and disrupted this forum for years before I ever posted here.

You're not fooling anyone anymore King. You look like the arsonist who was caught at the scene of a fire in possession of matches, gasoline, and several prior convictions. When you tack on the number of times you have been caught red-handed in absolute lies, or posting absolutely false data or statistics to support your Leftist or anti-2nd positions... then you simply look pathetic and quite possibly pathologically afflicted.

This repeated denial of the obvious is sick. It is childish, and flailing and manufacturing silly and implausible excuses would be an embarrassment to any normal person. It is light-years away from the totally honest and repentant behavior exhibited by Stan at the beginning of this thread.

That said, I fully expect that nothing will change.


A true sign of mental illness is any gun owner who would vote for an Anti-Gunner like Joe Biden.

I feel threatened, can we get a comfort pony, free ranging and wild of course?

Why do you persist in pointing out our differences? Can't we build bridges, instead stew about what divides us? I have a solution to your concern. Since we're multi issue victims, why don't we have multi presidents? Some can have the real one, and some can have hill. It's a win-win and reflective of the great example society can demonstrate to our little neck of the woods.

I emphasize our commonality: the enormous generosity of the spirit and information of the finest board of its kind anywhere, and the decency demonstrated by members to make it what we want it to be. Each has a responsibility to the other to respectfully disclose from time to time the differences between fact and imagined reality, which is how our great countries were formed. Accountability is making the world less safe for fools.

Fools are people too. There's a fair chance we all have it in common. I wonder what stops the smart folks from making the world less safe for terrorists? Hmmm?

One time I went to a double gun bbs and a hockey game broke out.

Hey all, back to Stan's OP subject. I think Stan is a stand up guy. It takes a big man to admit he's done anything wrong and especially going public with an apology. I think we can all say that we're glad to have Stan on this board and my high opinion of him has risen even higher.

God Bless you, Stan!

Well said Greg. I could not agree more. Very happy Stan is an active member here and hope he continues for a long time.

You are drawing the line too long. Shorten it up. Dead give away.

Trawna doesn't even know where the Soo is. Windsor....isn't that the crappy part of Detroit?
