Sorry no concealed carry for slingshots in CanadiaPJPOWER said:
What about concealed carry slingshots? Do you have to go through another class and more background checks?Bentleyspop said:I
Slingshot are legal as long as you purchase them from a government approved slingshot store.PJPOWER said:s
Lol, it rhymes!!! Are semi-auto rubber band guns legal in Canada? What about slingshots?Thirty Bills Unpaid said:

Agreed, although I also realize that it is a pretty simple device that could be mimicked by a large rubber band...Beginning of the end, no.mcgruff10 said:
I wouldn't say it is the beginning of the end but I do agree that no one needs a bump stock.Bentleyspop said:The beginning of the end of 2A. Better stock up on your bump stocks......
Ah yes... the rubber band. Weapon of choice for Canadians! I like the broader rubber band (6 inch). Accurate for distances up to 15 feet and they offer a pretty decent 'snap' upon impact.
Are over 25
Pass a background check along with drug and psychological testing.
Take a mandatory slingshot ownership class.
And wait the mandatory 6 weeks after purchase to get your slingshot.0 -

You're making a poor case for the assault rifle. The weapon is too easily modified or adaptable for mass murder.unsung said:

Forget the bump bump sticks and belt loops... just remove the gun from the equation!

Be careful at those waffle houses. A naked man with a rifle might get you. They should have armed employees and metal detectors.4 killed at Waffle House in TennesseeBy Holly Yan and Janet DiGiacomo, CNNUpdated Apr 22, 2018
(CNN) - Four people were killed and at least two others were shot at a Tennessee Waffle House on Sunday morning, Metro Nashville Police said.Police say the gunman was naked except for a green jacket when he opened fire at about 3:25 a.m. (4:25 a.m. ET) in Antioch, part of the Nashville area.
The assailant later shed his jacket, police spokesman Don Aaron said. He said a customer intervened. "The man who wrestled the gun away is a hero," Aaron said. Authorities are asking for the public's help in finding 29-year-old Travis Reinking of Morton, Illinois. Police said the gunman arrived in a vehicle registered to Reinking, though the gunman was last seen walking away from the scene nude.
So far, the motive for the shooting appears to be random, police said.It's a hopeless situation...0 -

I see it as being part of the problem, the glorification of guns. It’s like if you don’t have a gun or interject a gun into the conversation or have one to make a point, you’re either weak or not tough enough. It also reinforces for me that his daughter is a little damsel in distress, incapable of either making a choice about who she dates as someone who will respect her or she’s incapable of protecting her own honor, whether through informed decisions regarding sex or being someone who will honor her father by waiting until marriage. Why not just say,”I took the boy outback and told him he’d be dealing with me and my chainsaw if he hurt my daughter.” Why the gun? I thought “Responsible” gun owners didn’t pose, show or otherwise flash the gun unless they were prepared to use it?mrussel1 said:

Right, you're seeing precisely what the author wrote. I don't see any of that and I have two daughters. I see a dad making the oldest parent joke in the world. Wouldn't matter if he had a handgun, shotgun or lead pipe. Same joke.Halifax2TheMax said:
I see it as being part of the problem, the glorification of guns. It’s like if you don’t have a gun or interject a gun into the conversation or have one to make a point, you’re either weak or not tough enough. It also reinforces for me that his daughter is a little damsel in distress, incapable of either making a choice about who she dates as someone who will respect her or she’s incapable of protecting her own honor, whether through informed decisions regarding sex or being someone who will honor her father by waiting until marriage. Why not just say,”I took the boy outback and told him he’d be dealing with me and my chainsaw if he hurt my daughter.” Why the gun? I thought “Responsible” gun owners didn’t pose, show or otherwise flash the gun unless they were prepared to use it?mrussel1 said:
He can be an idiot all he wants. That doesn't offend me. And it didn't warrant an offended article to be written.Halifax2TheMax said:
So why pose with a gun? Does that make the sentiment somehow tougher? Give dad a bigger dick? Nice prom pic, here’s my dad between my date and I while he overcompensates for his small penis. Come to think of it, without the gun, my date would kick my dad’s ass. Sorry I was born to him.”mrussel1 said:
I remember several years ago, a reporter asked Charles Barkley what he thought of boys dating his daughters. He said, "I figure if I kill one, word will get out". Everyone thought that was funny. He didn't kill anyone, and his daughters' didn't have their 'agency' taken, so far as I know.mcgruff10 said:
I agree with you, nothing offensive here. People need to chill.mrussel1 said:
Meh... going too far to be offended here. In particular the quote about "denying his daughter's agency", and calling her "property". Fathers aren't going to start trusting high school boys or be happy about dating any time soon.Halifax2TheMax said:Git ‘er done.

I respectfully disagree and if that were my son I’d tell him to steer clear of the nut job dad, least he be shot due to a misunderstanding or another “responsible” gun owner being responsible until they’re not.mrussel1 said:

Oh I would too. He's a moron. My point is that the situation isn't worth writing about nor is it unique to our times or culture. The only unique part is social media in that entire equation.Halifax2TheMax said:
