"Manitoba's government and police agencies put out a call for arms yesterday, urging people to turn in their unwanted guns during a month-long amnesty."
"The second amnesty in three years aims to eliminate firearms that could end up in a criminal's arsenal and be used in violent crimes."
"'One gun in the hands of a criminal threatens the lives of police officers and the citizens they protect,' said Winnipeg police Sgt. Paul Brown, a member of the National Weapons Enforcement Support Team."
"During the month of September, Manitobans can get rid of firearms and other weapons without being charged unless it was stolen or used to commit a crime, officials said. The weapons will be destroyed." ... |

| I've never had a gun I didn't want, only guns I wanted less than the guns I traded them for. Amazing. Governments say to carry a gun in their defense is patriotism, but to carry a gun in your own defense is a crime and a threat to national security. |

Whoa! Just realized something. The U.S. Army is asking National Guard members to recruit regular Army enlistees for them. Is there a perceived need for more volunteers, or is the number of volunteers actually dropping because of government heavyhandedness in regard to our constitutional rights, gun control being one example?
They have a back-burner plan to make their quotas -- a draft. I think they have not adjusted to the new paradigm. It wasn't well-received two generations ago. People are less naive than they were then. They don't like the idea of fighting and dying for Halliburton and the Elites. |

| Hey, if you don't want all those evil guns, send em to me. We need more guns here in the USA, so we have at least one gun for every man woman and child. 10% of us still don't own guns, and we gotta fix that. |

Cut it out, Colt, you'll spoil the surprise.
Don't know much about liberty,
I can't wait for the amnesty.
I approve of the laws on the books,
Gonna take my guns down from their hooks.
You try to tell me 1 and 1 is 2;
My masters tell me I should ignore you
for the socialist world this can be...

TO REMEMBER |
| As civil rulers, not having their duty to the people before them, may attempt to tyrannize, and as the military forces which must be occasionally raised to defend our country, might pervert their power to the injury of their fellow citizens, the people are confirmed by the article in their right to keep and bear their private arms. — Tench Coxe in `Remarks on the First Part of the Amendments to the Federal Constitution' under the Pseudonym "A Pennsylvanian" in the Philadelphia Federal Gazette, June 18, 1789 at 2 col. 1. |
