Maybe not prohibition, but think of the lives that could be saved if we took that 2 billion dollars and spent it equipping every vehicle with a Breathalyzer switch. Now that would actually make a difference.

I guess the problem here would be that there is no viable alternative in place, and I highly doubt that we will get the leaders of the various terror organizations to attend a conference to hammer out a new â Å“rules of warâ ? agreement. Besides, since its inception the Geneva Convention has...

And if it was, then it's no different then a pistol. In fact, it's less effective for a criminal then a pistol due to its larger size. The only people made safer by firearms registration and prohibition are criminals.

Yes, actually it is. Or at least it the US equivalent of "prohibited". Private ownership of automatic weapons has been restricted in the US since the 1930's. Only people with special licenses can own them. The same is true in Canada.

Interesting thread. There is no proof that gun control in its current incarnation works. In fact, all proof points to the contrary. 1- Handguns have been registered in Canada since the 1960's. Handgun crime has gone continuously up. The same has happened in European countries like England...

If don't pay my taxes, they can ultimatly put me in jail, but behavior like this (and the sponsoship thing as a whole) goes unpunished. It makes me sick everytime I see the almost 50% taken off the top on my paycheck. I wish someone would come up with a system to make politicians accountable...

The problem, from what I have read, isn't with the unit being secret, but with the missions being secret. Since the mission "never happened" an injury suffered by a soldier on that mission is never reported nor officially documented. They are therefore not able to collect a pension for them...

When i first joined (1989) I remember some people mentioning an Advanced Infantry Course, but I was under the impression that it was just a unit thing. I've never seen one of these course take place.

I don't agree with most of the tone or the content of the article, BUT the point I wanted to bring up with it is that people are using Islam, and the â Å“freedom of religionâ ? blanket as a cover to get away with what would otherwise be considered criminal and borderline and treasonous acts...

Nobody's mentioned it, but multiple points of entry is also very problematic for structures where the layout is not know (again the battles in Falluja are an example). The tactics used for precision DA attacks do not all port to extended urban battles. I think you can separate the tactics and...

This article will probably stir up some interesting discussion. I don't necessarily agree with everything in it, but I do agree that there now seems to be an "every religion but christianity" double standard prelevant in our society. http://www.michnews.com/artman/publish/article_6378.shtml

Much of the whole sovereignty thing the Bloc calls for is more like decentralization of the Federal government and Alberta and Quebec have much common ground on that issue.

From what I remember of the latin classes I took in high-school. Both pronunciations are acceptable, however â Å“YOU-BEEK-WAYâ ? would be a proper pronunciation, while â Å“YOU-BEEKâ ? would be a gutteral/slang pronunciation. Sort of like â Å“rosaeâ ? can be pronounced either â Å“ROZ-AYEâ ...

I don't find anything insidous about this. If you want my stuff, then you'll have to listen to my input; it's an age old game. Besides, I'd pay money to have Famke Janssen wrap her legs around my head  ;D

Damn ... CDN $529.35 and your reserve still wasn't met? How much were you asking for it?  ???

It's funny that stuff like this is even considered news. I'm surprised they didn't spin it as "Jungle Peacekeeping"  ::)

Kifaru does make some kickass stuff;   I've got my eye on a Zulu for next year ;) I beleive the belt also had PALS attachements on it, making it possible to pouches to like you would with webbing. I wonder how this thing would interact with body armour on? Also, looking at it, I think the...

<rant on> The whole â Å“we don't want to make Canada a targetâ ? argument is a crock of sh*t. Canada has been and is a target. Acts of terror against Canada have already been planned (plans for attacks were discovered by troops in Afghanistan if I recall correctly) and some have already been...

Is this the CADPAT RAV I remember hearing so much about?  ;D

How does this crap make it to the press in the first place?
