Was it Ben Franklin...?
Those who give up liberty for security will have neither.

It was Ben Franklin. The actual quote is:

They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a*little*temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. Those Who Sacrifice Liberty For Security Deserve Neither. He who would trade liberty for some temporary security, deserves neither liberty nor security.

Old Ben was a wise man who knew the value of a few well chosen words.

Thank you.
I knew it was something like that.
My memory is not that good these days, and my aim is about as good as my memory.

Heed the correction.

You had better read the list, 20 some pages of approved handguns. How can you complain about hundreds of choices???

I don't see the gun that I have in my pocket at the moment, or several in my safe. I can complain, as it's not now, nor ever, the province of the government to tell me how to exercise my rights.

I hope you guys realize you are blessed, here in Canada your firearm, have to be trigger locked and in locked storage, we have permits to transport to the range and the storage is trigger locked and in a locked container, trunk of car etc, you have to belong to a gun range to get the permit, other wise you have a permit to "collect" and storage is the same, but you can't just take your pistol and shoot in the back yard. I find it hard to believe that we have been brain washed into believing we can't even defend our family or selves, I don't want to give anyone ideas, but it looks like the crooks wrote our laws and have very little worry about anyone stopping them. I pray that the good Lord keeps us safe, God bless all.

The crooks did indeed write the laws. The criminal organization responsible is called the "Canadian Parliament".

Read the thread, dude... I recanted that statement after several admonishments and I saw where I was wrong... OK ???
