Give up their guns? Why, you're just asking for them to get murdered or raped. Or murdered then raped.

Order is important. Otherwise it's just necrophillia. Just like 'rape, pilage, then burn".

It's just necrophilia. You must be one of those liberal commie pinko amoral anything goes as long as it feels good types. Thanos would like a word with you.

Thanos can have a word with me anytime. $2.99 per minute, must be 18 to call.

Since rape is a fate worse than death, being raped then murdered is kinda anti-climactic. But the other way around - the conservative Americun brain shudders in horror.

Why would anyone travel with their guns in the first place unless one was upto no good ? Unless one was on a hunting trip and was carrying stuff like Hunting rifles.

I personally find it quite bizzare feel the need to move around with guns. Begs the question how many in the states walk around with weapons all the time.

Americans and their gun culture, I honestly don't get it.

Standby... Bart will show up eventually and explain to us how wrong headed we are to exercise our laws.

The reputation of Americans being "Cowboys" isn't far from the truth. They seem stuck in a past time period in various ways. They mean well and their arguments seem somewhat reasoned, but mostly they have had to ignore other factors to maintain their "Rights" regarding Guns.

To be fair, a good number of them that get pinched crossing in the western part of Canada are merely headed to Alaska for some hunting. They just forget there's this huge landmass between Alaska and the rest of the USA that doesn't have the same love affair with firearms.

If that's the case then all they need to do is declare them and pay the fee. Why would that be so hard to do?

When you cross the Ambassador Bridge from Detroit to Windsor, there's a sign before you even reach the toll booth on the US side that says quite cleary; NO FIREARMS, FLAMMABLES, EXPLOSIVES, or CORROSIVES ALLOWED ON THE BRIDGE. And yet, plenty of Americans have been nailed on the Windsor side for illegally bringing a weapon into the country.
I honestly believe some of them are so hard-wired into their 2nd amendment rights they just simply tune out anything that says no guns allowed.
When they try and cross the border, I honestly don't believe any but a VERY small minority actually bring guns across for nefarious reasons, the majority of them simply aren't thinking.

Oh, Fuck. You've never heard the expression? You think I have scientific proof for the veracity a common social idiom? Get a grip and a sense of humor.

Meaning

Any misfortune that would make life unlivable, especially rape or loss of virginity. The phrase was formally a euphemism for rape.

Origin

This attested to the belief that a dishonoured woman was better off dead. It is still used, but ironically of late. That earlier view was expressed in Gibbon's Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, 1781:

"The matrons and virgins of Rome were exposed to injuries more dreadful, in the apprehension of chastity, than death itself."

The current version of the phrase was used in several works from 1810 onward but was probably brought into public use via Edgar Rice Burroughs' widely read Tarzan of the Apes, 1914:

"[The ape] threw her roughly across his broad, hairy shoulders, and leaped back into the trees, bearing Jane Porter away toward a fate a thousand times worse than death."

Jeezus.

It's the same on the NY/Ontario border crossings. The CBSA guys take hundreds of firearms off Yanks a week in high season.

That may be the case with some of them, but when a guy gets nailed crossing the border at Windsor with gun(s) in his trunk, that's likely not the case. I might believe that if they're crossing in BC or AB, but not when it's down east.

I think part of it is also their paranoia over crime. When I worked as a travel agent for AMA, I'd get a call or two per month asking about where the 'safe' part of Edmonton or Calgary was. Almost no one believed me that it was all pretty safe when compared to LA, NY, or Chicago.
