You may want to read up on that...

I glanced over it,Its fairly close.
Both here and California you need to be licensed.
Both here and California you need to register firearms.
Both here and California certain firearms are arbitrarily banned,Canada has banned all firearms and ammunition in the .25 and .32 calibre.
California requires sales to be through a dealer or broker
Canadaian law does not recognize the use of a firearm or other weapon as self defence.

When I took my firearms course the instructor took alot of time to make the point that under the law you cant defend yourself using a firearm.
Quick question for some of you guys and don't take this the wrong way but why are most Americans I meet obligated to tell me or let me know in their Twitch channel their ethnicity/origin when they're clearly just white? e.g. 1/10 Irish 1/3 Spanish
it's just one of our colloquialisms, it's mostly harmless but i agree that it's no less strange
it pretty obviously derives from the US being an admixture of immigrants and communities which integrated slowly and still inflect regional culture, but that now we have no practical connection to. as a first generation american i've always privately found it incredibly hollow, even aggravating. the listing of portions, especially, like one was some kind of poodle, like culture floats around in the blood.
[editline]16th January 2016[/editline]
in my opinion it's a thing people here do to appeal to something more permanent than consumer culture when their lives are dominated by it, it's sort of wishful
I don't do that unless I'm specifically asked.
I have never done that...
I am a white man. I don't even know my percentages.
i can tell you i'm half italian, a quarter icelandic and the other quarter is french, irish and probably some other shit (supposedly russian).
that's about it.
Its weird for me because a quarter of my family are recent immigrants (my mom was born in vietnam for example) then another quarter of my family are recent immigrants (Japanese family that illegally immigrated through mexico in the 1920's) and then the other half of my family either came here before the revolution (Scottish part of my family) or came during the revolution serving the British (Germany mercenaries who decided to stay and where one of the first families to settle in Wisconsin.
Its a weird mix of old and new as well as wildly different cultures. A pretty interesting fact is that a member of my family has fought in every war from the Revolution all the way to the Vietnam War (which is funny because my mom is from Vietnam and was evacuated from the US embassy during the fall of Saigon).
My point was that the extent to which those cultures have any relevance whatsoever in shaping a person, your inner self, the way you passively and unknowingly interpret the world, has no explicit relationship to what order your ancestors fucked each other in and how it portions out, or to anything at all, for most young people.
If most people were even remotely aware of how difficult it actually is to share two (or more) cultures - to not properly belong to either of them, if they knew the and alienation and difficulty of not seeing your family and of being an outsider among them, of never being whole in either country, they'd probably not say anything at all.

They've already called a state of emergency and we haven't even gotten a snowflake yet.
What will happen is
State of Emergency in NJ
My job will be open anyway
Everyone will call out
They'll call me because I'm off anyway and I'll have to go in.
:suicide:
It'll mostly miss me in NY I'm starting a new job this weekend.
i'll be working in the snow, because we're doing clean up work this year, as opposed to previous years where it was all done by outside contractors.
fuck my life. i convinced the association to keep me for the winter and this shit happens. on the bright side, i get some good extra dosh.
I also can't wait for the 10-20 drivers who always go flying off the road on my hill whenever snow is introduced.
It was a cool 42F today, and people felt compelled to drive at 35mph on dry, ice-free, 60mph roads.
WHY, KNOXVILLIANS? WHY DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND SNOW?

[QUOTE=RenaFox;49581751]Just wondering, does anyone here have like, old or rusty cars behind their houses?[/QUOTE]

No, but there's a barn that looks about ready to collapse that I can see from the window behind my computer desk.

I too also have a barn thats ready to collapse in my backyard.
I have a beautiful red barn behind my house, our neighbor maintains it for his horses.
I used to live in a barn. Like no shit for a year I lived out of one.
