The best thing about this thread is I'm not making up a single thing about what I did this evening and I bet at least two of you are legit upset by that.

I am literally crying right now.

(Seriously, EJ, I was just making a joke about Boston Pizza because I've always found them overpriced, and not very good. I'm glad you had a fun night out!)

There's not much open in Selkirk past 9 and we were hungry. Also while I'm sure you're being facetious I'm sure there are one or two people who are literally seething at the thought of someone enjoying shooting a gun at things and then willingly eating food from a plebeian chain restaurant. This makes me smile.

Also personal pizzas were on special for 8 bux a pop dinner was cheap as gently caress considering how much we had at our table.

My wife had to drive the truck home. I had one too many.

The one in Selkirk? Yep it's still there, as ugly as ever.

Funny thing is the catfish mascot in Dunville Ontario is even uglier. Probably because they tried to go less cartoony catfish and more jesus loving christ it looks like a statue of a real life giant catfish the size of a humpback whale who the gently caress thought this was a good idea.

Oh cmon, this is really disengenous and you know it, as ex-military you of all people should know that the ergonomics, stoppage drills and general ease of handling make an AR-type platform have the ability to do much more damage than a bolt-action.

Look, illegal, not illegal, I don't care, but I'm tired of this lazy trope of "Hurr AR-15 is semi-auto, so it's absolutely no different than my huntin' rifle". That's bullshit. Otherwise, why would a gun company design a military weapon with all those ergonomic features in mind like pistol grip, magazine-fed, collapsible butt stocks, forestock grips etc.?

You've done room clearing drills right? You're not going to sit there and tell me that it's just as easy to do a room clear with a loving long-rifle than it is with an C8 Carbine right? Semi-auto or not semi-auto, there are a lot more to "damage" capable of easily being done with an assault rifle. Not to mention conducting reloads, stoppage drills and all the other essential functions that happen in a firefight.

It's pretty retarded that the people most knowledgeable about the effectiveness of AR-15 platforms tend to also be complete disingenuous dicks when it comes to policy because "MAH TOYYSS"

Anyone who's actually fired an AR-15 type on automatic could tell you how much more effective it is on semi-auto - which is pretty telling. Stoppage and empty mag drills are pretty easy to learn and it wouldn't take an expert to quickly burn through several magazines, even if they're only 5 rounds.

Despite the fact that our laws and categorization aren't really all encompassing, they make do for the most part. I'm totally on board with prohibiting any sort of semi-autos or handguns though for anyone except trained law enforcement, military, or a few cases in private security.

This is always the inherent stumbling block for me when looking at right wing parties. Sometimes you want to try to find common ground, to work across the aisle so things get done, but the virulently bigoted subset of supporters and candidates that scream the loudest always means you can't ever find a point of compromise.

I was confused when you said you went to Boston Pizza in Selkirk, because it's 30 Km from the later-mentioned Dunnville, which is itself nowheresville. I'm not sure if it's better or worse than Selkirk, MB.

Haldimand is a shithole. If I still lived there, I'd probably be shooting poo poo, too. CI's right, rural Canada needs to die.

This is basically the big problem with the PCs getting completely obliterated. Luckily the rural right is so mad that they're responding to the problem by fracturing the party into at least three chunks so far and engaging in vicious backbiting while Notley is busy actually governing.

It's nice to see the phenomenon is not limited to socialists at least.

City of Toronto: Please don't be racist.
Toronto Sun: THAT'S RACIST!

http://www.torontosun.com/2016/06/15/toronto-campaign-against-islamophobia-an-insult

quote:

One of the first outcomes of OCASI’s “insights” was a poster that shows a white man confronting a black Muslim woman in hijab, telling her: “Go back to where you come from,” to which the black hijabi woman replies, “Where, North York?”

In one sweep the City of Toronto depicted every white man as a racist bigot and perpetuated the victimhood of Muslims, a goal of all Islamists worldwide who hate the West.
