I had a nice fun day at the beach with my new boat, sorry if that's not
good enough for you.

No petty oneupmanship. Just stating the fact that we're lucky enough to
have alcohol and firearms together.

Well, not sure about the rest of the country, but California is very strict
on guns and alcohol, especially in combination... and when each 4th of July
comes around you better be in your backyard, because the police are
patrolling the neighborhoods just waiting to hear that gun go off. Now, Los
Angeles is special, and so is Santa Ana... the police run from these cities
during the 4th... because there are too dang many fools firing their guns up
into the air... and you never know where these bullets will land... quite
possibly right on your head. Makes me wish bullets came down right where
they were launched... NM.

In every neighborhood where I live, from mountain to beach, fireworks and
guns are not permitted to be fired off... period... drink all you want, but
keep it to your own private lot. Watch the "professionals" fire off the big
ones.

Man, I remember when I was a kid and we used to have 4th of July block
parties... all the adults would set up their lawn chairs out in the middle
of the street, picnic benches and tables, rows of BBQ's, and let the kids
fire off all the fireworks and m80's they wanted... bottle rockets,
sparklers.... snakes... whatever! Ok, so some fools set hillsides on fire,
and some idiots blew off their hands and fingers... why should this spoil
everyone elses fun? The good old days!

NM. ;)

Happy CANADA day!

Did someone say Canadians don't have alcohol & guns? *chuckles*

Some facts...

2002 Statistics:

Although it is known fact that the US (200 million firearms) has more
firearms per capita than Canada (8 million firearms), it is also known fact
that a much higher percentage of Canadians (82%) own firearms than Americans
(25%). Another very interesting fact is that the death rates by firearms
(murder/suicide/accidental) in the US is almost 'doubled' that of Canada.
hmmm

Oh yea, and we do celebrate in much the same way here as you do, even on the
4th of July (some are known to party continuously through from July 1st!),
Canadians like to party too ehh! And we have the real beer! lol

So... is it better or "lucky" to bring your guns to any such celebration to
have fun?
Besides... boating seems much more fun than shooting something imo ;)

Btw... its Stampede time here, if you really want to see what a party is,
guns and all, you should see the Calgary Stampede. July 4th celebrations are
mere one-nighters compared to 10 days of Calgary Stampede action! And some
of those July 1st revellers still haven't stopped!
Sure glad I live in the country! *grins*

According to this, Canada should have only 9.75 million inhabitants
(it has 32.5 million instead), and the US should have as much as 400
million (it has 300 million).
