A pounding at the door the other morning; my windows rattled. I was upstairs at work. I don't always leave my desk to hear the good news about Jehovah.
The pounder was insistent. I went down, if only for the sake of the windows.
Oh, jeeze, the cops.
Officers Firth and Kozar in attendance. "What's up, boys?" My preference was to talk to them through the plate glass door. They wanted to come inside.
Not a chance.
I stepped onto the porch. Who wants two armed strangers in his house, and anyway it was a nice morning.
Officer K. said, "Are you aware of Project Safe City?" I hate it when a guy answers a question with a question.
"Why do you want to know?"
Officer K. said, "We have reason to believe you have a firearm." Oh, here we go again.
The last time a representative of the city showed up at my door, she had reason to believe I had a cat. How did she know? The lady cat cop peered through the window at my curtains and said, "Cat hair."
I dislike being spied on.
I also dislike armed men at the door. And then Officer K. mispronounced my name and asked if I still worked for this newspaper.
Hmm. He'd clearly done some research on me, and I had none on him, nor was I sure why my place of employment was important.

Stumble It!
One way to protest the over reaction to guns, is to cut out a dark wood grain mac tac profile of a rifle, shotgun and a gun rack, and stick them to the back window of your pickup truck. Nothing illegal about that , and when they over react, they will make total fools of themselves, over and over again, until they chill out a bit, and people get used to it.
Pass this on to all your shootin friends . Maybe it will spread across the country.
I thought this licencing nonsense was over. Hasn't Parliament voted to get rid of it ?
No, I ain't no gun lover, but as a rancher, living in the backwoods, I have gun to make noise to scare away the predators. No fun to find a dead cow with the body of a calf halfway out, but the head chewed off.
Besides, we don't get too many home invasions out here, because the crooks know that people have dogs and guns and know how to use them .

There are shootings all over, all the time. Are they using registered guns ? Like hell.
As far the confiscation of guns is concerned, we have 120 acres of forests.

The amnesty has killed any reliabilty for the registry , not that it had any to begin with, but I suggested they scrap whats left of the database on long guns, so any future government has to tell the public that if they want to resurect it , it will cost two billion dollars , starting from scratch , just like last time, and be no more useful.
The economic crunch is a good time to scrap it, politically.
