Hi King: I don't call you anti-gun. I say you advocate, on this BBS, more gun control in the USA. What would pass for absurd in Canada is the notion that a vote for liberals means an anti-gun sentiment, as if a reverence or need for guns comes first in a country's priorities. Or anti-gun to mention US acceptance of mass murder, mass school executions, 438 children being hit by a bullet every month between 2004 and 2014, 13 children between one and three killed themselves with guns so far this year as the violence that defines the US trickles down to babies in diapers.
And again, it is like you are saying " Shame on you for not having more gun control. But I am not advocating more gun control in the USA. So I don't have to defend Obama's assault on semi-auto rifles or the Democrats' drive for universal background checks. But shame on y'all again."EDIT: And Obama and his gal Hillary and their Democratic party are campaigning for a ban on semi-auto rifles with removable magazines - for all they are worth.

Hi, King
Like, London, London, or Ontario, London? Because everyone goes on and on about London, London--London is great, London is fantastic. Well it's not. It's rubbish . Really, really rubbish. Or as the Cockneys would say, apples and rubbish.

Well, if it gives you pleasure to think that way, it's alright with me.
Reminds me of the film librarian at the Manned Spacecraft Centre south of Houston, a young man with prematurely balding hair and one leg shorter than the other carrying a big revolver underneath his suit jacket.
What have you got that for, I said, thinking of the Texas law that excused murder in crimes of passion. It looked like Clint Eastwood's make-my-day. "That's my equalizer," he said. It made me wish I was lame.

London, London. It's my favourite big city. San Francisco my favourite small city. It's hard to explain because I've a hankering for Paris in a different way but I always think of London as my town. Fortunately my wife thinks the same way. I think cities are often rated by first impressions. Maybe yours was a bad one.

Makes you wish? You are. (kidding! kidding! kidding!). You're alright, King. My wife likes you.

Well, no doubt, in a discussion with you I need an equalizer. I have certainly been outgunned in our debates over the years.
But I think I made my point here.
I am glad to be here.

I love London, London. There isn't a city in the world that I've been to and didn't like. Well, there was one time in Amarillo... I was just being silly.

Well, if you come this way again drop me a line and we will bust some clays and eat some barbecued brisket.
And it wasn't me. I haven't jumped anybody since 1972.
I am glad to be here.

PS---Obama and Clinton on assault rifles: I think of those firearms in the same way as bolt-action shotguns, not to seen in the public with one. A new generation hereabouts think I'm exercising a peculiar affectation with my doubles compared to their 3- and 3 1/2 inch automatics. Firepower is in. I think the first shot counts. I haven't seen better results in the field with automatics or magnums. Macho boom-bang another thing entirely.
