2. Simple, powerful message
Being pro-RKBA, however, I always try to remember the most important rule about handling firearms. Even if you forget to keep the safety on, even if your finger keeps creeping onto the trigger, even if you break every gun safety rule in the book, this is the one rule that absolutely must be followed no matter what:

Never point a gun at anything unless it is your intent to destroy it.

4. That is a very effective bit of video, however....
Canada has more guns per capita than the US has, yet the rate of gun violence is much lower.
So are guns the problem? No.
It is income disparity, poverty, injustice, and desperation.

5. Canada has mroe guns per capita?
The US has almost 1 gun per capita.
I'd be interested to see the source showing Canada has more guns per capita than the US.

As for the video, lol. Never gonna happen.
You can't uninvent something... and you can't MAKE criminals obey anti-gun laws.

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Winchester Ammunition was recently awarded a contract by the Immigration, Customs and Enforcement (ICE) division of the Department of Homeland Security to supply a maximum of 200 million, 40 cal. rounds over the next five years.

The load selected for this contract is a 135-grain, hollow point designed for the office of Field Operations of Customs and Border Protection. It will fall under the Winchester Ranger line.

guns are horrible, but being under the terror of guns is another horror...

7. Guns should be plentiful and cheap......
Bullets should be $500 each.

(I heard a comedian say that)
