Crooked in Canada

I can’t begin to explain how pleased I am to hear that Calgary women are buying and learning to handle guns, but if you between the lines of today’s bog entry I’m sure you will be able tell how overjoyed I am. It’s about bloody time and I hope women across the country, the sensible and rational ones anyway, are paying attention to what is going on in the city I called home for 10 years, Calgary.

Gun shop owner J.R. Cox has said that during the past 5 years, his business has doubled thanks to crime on the streets of Calgary and of that, women are responsible for about 25 per cent of that business.

Being the staunch supporter for the right of Canadians to bear arms, if only to level the playing field on crime ridden streets and our right to protect our families, homes and neighbours, it is my hope that one day that ridiculous money pit known as “Gun Control Legislation” that was brought in by an absolutely brain-dead Liberal government at the time is repealed, wiped off of Canada’s law books. Of course for that to happen the federal and provincial governments have to come to the realization that if they are not going to throw more money into kitty for the police to get a handle on the rising crime problem in Canada, most notably in Calgary and Toronto (despite what polls are saying about crime dropping-that’s a f**king joke by the way), then the Harper government should introduce a new bill that literally allows Canadians to arm themselves for the purpose of self-defence, or at the very least start spending some of that “multi-billion” dollar government surplus on putting more police on our streets, putting more teeth in the criminal laws that already exist to combat crime, and most importantly Corrections Canada.

How much is that government surplus again?

That said, with rising violent crime (again despite what the numbers that are being reported say) across what I think is too tolerant of a nation these days, I would suggest to violent criminals in Calgary who have yet to be caught to watch their backs because it sounds to me like Canadian women are beginning to show that they have had enough and a scared-for-her-life-woman with a gun in her hand could mean the difference between whether or not a would-be violent criminal lives or dies.

Like I said, Calgary women rock (most of them anyway) and at the end of the day, that rockin’ armed woman isn’t going to f**k around when it comes to the “kill or be killed” mentality.

I encourage women across the country to take the example women are setting in Calgary to heart, and visit their nearest reputable gun shop before they become the next victim of a violent crime.

Cheers ladies!
