We're scared of becoming like Nova Scotians.
Gregsy, I expect you meant that in jest, but that tone seems to be standard in reply to King's observations about the USA. I think he asks questions we should be asking ourselves. Nobody likes having an 'outsider' criticise our Country, but often they can see from their angle what we can't.
Why the heck ARE we arming ourselves with combat style weaponry? Surely nobody's stupid enough to think they are gonna be able to defy the government. I don't see any signs of riot or 'end-times' extinction of Law and Order. I'm not fond of our new government, but the Country voted to giv'em a chance and they're entitled to give Socialism their best shot. We'll run'em off if it doesn't work out.
As for myself, I carry a permitted pistol all the time, but I can't think of any need for infantry weapons...Geo
