On the bright side, since the demand is there, the manufacturers should be getting more orders now, which will help keep the industry alive.

Those guns are all rusty and probably unsafe to fire in the first place. I guarantee you that the local police kept quite a few of the good ones. Why was Canada represented there?

But get this; Brazil has recently reversed its prohibition of civilian ownership of firearms, since violent crime skyrocketed after guns were banned.
They came to the conclusion that only law-abiding people turned in their guns, while criminals kept theirs. So, while this dog-and-pony show of a steamroller crushing guns looks bad, Brazil actually stepped AWAY from gun control. |

Leave it to a f#$king Greek Canadian to assist in the festivities. I don't understand what has happened to Greece. Greece used to be a center for private enterprise, especially shipping and smuggling [:D]. I'm sure people here have read Taki's wonderful columns in the NY Press Daily and Spectator (British version). He's by far one of my favorite writers. I wonder what happened to the British (and Canadians) as well....liberal democracy destroyed them I guess. themao [chainsawkill] |

Anybody ever seen the receiver of a BAR up close? The thing is a solid 10 pound block of steel, ain't no steamroller out there that could destroy a BAR receiver. Me thinks that we could just replace the furniture and maybe the barrels and have perfectly functional automatic rifles.
