My suggestion would be for you to contact both, the CSSA and the NFA -- as both organizations have online sites and are 'in the loop,' so to speak -- although I have been fighting this type of law up here since 1969, at this point in time I have to admit that I am not 'right up there' on the...

marijuana Sorry to be so tardy in responding -- I have not forgotten your point. Indeed, although that subject has never been in the forefront of my thoughts, I would have to say yes, if it was legal, then it is still not a proper function of the law to place a peaceful person pursuing...

The "premise" that I always operated from -- always in the context of Canada/U.S.A social/political/legal systems -- was: "It is not a proper function of the law to place a peaceful person pursuing peaceful activities in jeopardy." In my view that statement is not debatable or disputable --...

To each of you gentlemen, I say hello -- from 'way up north'. It may be of interest (and may not be) that I have been involved directly in this 'gun fight' since 1969. I formed two organizations, the first being FARO (Firearms and Responsible Ownership) and the second being the NFA (National...

Sorry, but I forgot to mention on all-important fact -- as a "newbie," that term also applies to my computer knowledge -- borderline zero -- so if I make errors in my use thereof, please forgive me until I grasp the fundamentals. Thanks

Sir: A couple of points. First, I am from north of the border -- 'way north.' Second, I have been involved in the 'gun fight' here in Canada since 1969. Third: I make no pretense at being 'educated,' or 'all-knowing.' Fourth: Having said that, I have engaged in all types of debates on the...

Again, my thanks for your positive response. I would ask that you, being more acquainted with various views on this matter from your end, would advise me if I should or should not (as an 'outsider') enter into discussions on your 2nd Amendment -- my wish is to not be seen as 'a nosey intruder,'...

Thank you, sir and anthing I can offer in the way of 'arguments,' be they pro-gun, pro-hunting, or with respect to general political/social disputes on the matter of firearms, I would be most happy to forward. I spent 41 years up here in that arena; learned from scratch; was a quick learner...

Thank your for that information -- and I will give it a try -- the reason I was concerned is that, being a Canadian, I was not sure if I should presume to speak on your 2nd Amendment. On the plus side (in my opinion) having never been beaten in any public/political debate on the issue of...

Thank you for your suggestion, sir. I am constantly devouring more information on this issue and during many years, have done the same. However, getting sidetracked into the political 'gun fight' for some 41 years tends to diminish one's memory of just what was what. Having said that, before...

Gotcha, sir, and I understand and fully agree with your comments. Just a question? -- You say: "At my advanced age......" and I wonder if you and I are in a similar situation. I was born in 1931 and am still hanging in. My interests, unfortunately got sidetracked by my big mouth getting...

This comment is somewhat exagerated, but we have so many restrictions on what is, what is not, what may, what could be and so on, it becomes embarrassing to try to list them. However, having been away from the firearms disciplines for some 40-plus years, fighting in the political arena in an...

And again Again, my thanks to all who have responded. It is good to finally get back into the firearms community -- no matter how limited that may be at my age. I would like some guidance on where to put comments I have with respect to the firearms arguments which continue on and on, on both...

name Yessir, I've been told that a number of times in my lifetime -- specifically at the hunting camp years back when Canadians would only laugh at my predictions, even though I demonstrated through showing them government documents and news clippings, that that is what was going to happen...

loads Many thanks, Roger and I agree with you 100%. Interestingly, that is the same advice I have gotten from a few members and it is good advice. Will pay attention to the Gold Dot. I have been curious because of the changes that have taken place in all components over the years and, since...
