Hi Charlie: haven't heard from you in a while and I hope all is well. The last time we 'spoke' you were relishing the lack of snow in your neck of the woods this year, while here we are digging ourselves out regularly.
Kenniston (?), Georgia I believe is the city/town where the movement to mandate firearms ownership began after that Chicago suburb (again ?) banned firearms owndership within its municipal limits. After that I believe there were a few more municipalities that went the 'shall have' mandate route but as is the wont of the media, little was ever heard about it again. Ya know, if it was that Georgia town that reversed the trend with its 'shall have' mandate, you really have to hand it to them, they have their thoughts, and actions in the right place. Now, if I can figure out where I could get more information like that I wouldn't feel quite so dumb. Do you think the NRA would have any information like that (serious question)?
And I'm not so certain about our northern neighbors not talking up something as far reaching as an internal social revolution that enabled their citizens more rights. You really have to admit how interesting it is that so much of the news and information about the dissident provinces is suppressed by both the Canadian and American media. Man, if some of this could just become more commonplace knowledge, at least the US, I think the show of support for unseating the sitting government may take some postive turns.
The Canadian folks I know are peaceloving people but they know the price of that freedom. I think things will stay oppressive only so long before those people have had enough of their government's nonsense before they do something about it. Whether it is the peaceful route of electing a new government or whether it is the result of massive, passive social disobedience that finally turns the trick is still a guess. I have a tendency to think it would be the later rather than the former, especially with some of those individual provinces refusing to obey the law.
Who knows - their was some talk (loose conversations really) about another State, made out of New York City, similar to the status of Washington, DC. Now, if something like that ever came to pass, and the notion of a separate NYC as a 'free port' or independent district has some very real (economic and political) merit to it, it is not inconceivable that something similar could happen in Canada. That might result in the establishment of separate Canadian States. I would expect one to be the french speaking Ottawa, which I would also expect to be a rather liberal holdout, but there would be others with possible constitutions similar to and structured to provide similar rights to ours.
Hay, a guy can only hope. Happy Valentine's Day to you, I hope your Sweetie makes it special fer ya. Mikey here.
