The gun registry law in Canada was stupid and ill thought out from the get go. It wasted millions of dollars and if I'm not mistaken the program was scrapped. When I was younger I use to think that the restrictions (handguns, auto and semi-auto) were stupid, but as a father of two I'm glad they're there. People can kill with rifles too, just not on as large of a scale. Hard to carry a rifle in your waist band As for the ease of buying hand guns in the US, my old boss owns a house in Florida and right away went out to purchase a hand gun. All he needed was a Florida drivers license and he walked out with a gun. My question, and I know is off topic, why do people need to own hand guns? Rifles and shotguns for hunting make sense, but why hand guns? Maybe it's the Canadian in me, but I don't get it.

Some states, it's really easy, some, not so much. But it really should be more difficult that simply showing a drivers license.

Showing your DL gives fire arms dealers the quick way to do an FBI background check. It works. If you're in the FBI system for violations you WON'T get a hand gun {legally}.

on the topic of gun control, I found this interesting: the highly respected National Bureau for Economic Research found that between 4.4 and 7.4 additional WHITE males are killed each MONTH as a result of stand your ground laws, and the increase is "unlikely to be driven entirely by the killings of assailants." www.nber.org/papers/w18187like some others, I am okay with rifles and shotguns, a little weary of handguns, and largely opposed to assault rifles and the like.

If people were chasing this bear with their cars in the parking lot, they should be shot in the nuts with a tranquilizer dart. Fucking assholes. At least it didn't happen in Canada where trigger happy DOUCHEBAG ASSHOLE cops would have brought machine guns and murdered this poor bear Sonny Corleone style.

Thomas is to the point now that even a cap floor team wouldn't want his name associated with their team even if it was just for a cost saving measure.

His break might end up being longer than one season. His life story will make for a good movie; after he is committed to the nut house of course, which will be the ending

I don't get the part about the "hateful nature" of some of his positions. Since when does everyone have to have the same beliefs. Are we all supposed to be gay loving atheists? I haven't heard him say anything that was threatening in anyway. LOL so let's attack the Christians for their beliefs. F'n Hippocrates the media are. The F'n media wants it both ways so they can sensationalize everything into news to make a dollar IMO. I couldn't care less what TT or anyone who isn't a publicly elected official says on Facebook or Twitter.

It might just be worth throwing him an offer sheet for a slightly longer term and a bit more money...just to fuck with the Scabs.

Comes across as a pretty confident player which is good. With the way the team plays in front of him, he should be confident. If they play like the can for the full season, his (and Khudobin's) numbers will be fantastic. Big payday for both next off season. Health should be their only obstacle. With the make up of the team as is, I'm not expecting a dominant win/loss record. Something like last season would sound about right. Defensively though, we should be top 3 without issue.

He makes less than half of his counter parts in other major sports if that makes you feel better..
