For Canadinas only. Gun control again.
Jim,
Have been meaning to write to you for some time about this. Although you should do everything in your power to do something about this, Canadians should see their glass as at least half full. You are so much farther along than the United States as far as this is concerned. Read an article the other day about how many Americans are considering moving to Canada because of recent political problems here and that Canada seem so much more civilized than the US. I will consider it, but only when you guys get a BIG heater. I think my blood has thinned from living so long in Florida! Allie Orange "F.James Cripwell" wrote in message ... I suspect most Canadians have heard on the news how a small boy had his eyesight threatened by a pellet from a pellet gun. Not to say that the fragments of the pellet may remain in his brain forever. I had not realized that these weapons were not considered to be "guns" from a legal point of view, if their muzzle velocity was less than a certain amount. So far as I am concerned, a gun, is a gun, is a gun. I appeal to Canadians who feel the same way I do, to lobby your Federal Member of Parliament, as I am going to do; he just happens to be John Manley. Tell them that so far as Federal legislation is concerned, *all* guns, no matter what the muzzle velocity is, should come under the same Act of Parliament. And if by so doing we ban some forms of toy guns, so be it. Safety is far more important than other sorts of issues. TIA. -- Jim Cripwell.
