Hmmm... I wonder if that is why things like that happen in CA and not in
Texas... <snicker>

I wonder about that. I suspect deep ellum would have looked a lot like
south central, had that trial been held in Plano.

The people who made it out of the riots largely unscathed were the Koreans
who armed themselves and protected themselves and their property.

As far as that shit happening here, I can't see it. Too many armed people
here. Motivation to rape , murder and pillage would be too hard to sustain.
The community most likely to start that sort of mayhem KNOWS better.

Texans know that they can use deadly force to protect their (or someone
else's) property... Even if it started, it would soon end after the first
couple of bodies started stacking up... We don't call the cops, we call
BFI...

Hmmm, I don't have the same reaction.

Fact is that there are a lot of hunters in Canada, and a
correspondingly large number of hunting rifles. Go figure.

I have no problem with intelligent gun control. Most people I know
don't like the idea of kooks acquiring guns, nor people carrying
concealed weapons, nor owning semi or fully automatic weapons. OTOH,
the gun registry has been a total waste of money and doesn't really
protect anyone.

Gun control is a national choice. Canadians simply have no right to
tell the US anything about guns. It just ain't our business.

The reverse applies as well. US citizens who don't live in
Canada have no right to tell Canadians anything about guns. It
isn't their business.

Let's start with John Lott's Op-Ed in the National Post in
Canada.

I can point to thousands of instances where US citizens
complain about Canadian viewpoints on guns in Canada.
