49. my my

his petition effort are not directed at criminals thugs smugglers or gangsters - theyre aimed at for the most part, law abiding people. Your efforts to assert to the contrary while laughable, aren't making believers out of anyone.

His petition effort is directed at KEEPING FIREARMS OUT OF THE HANDS OF criminals, thugs and gangsters. As you are well aware.

Because, frankly, you just can't come up with any other remotely rational explanation.

And your desperate efforts to portray the man elected as mayor of the largest city in Canada, whose progressive credentials would send yours into outer space if they were placed on opposite ends of a balance, as whatever it is you're trying to portray him as, are snicker-making.

It really is quite entertaining that the only explanation you folks can come up with for firearms control advocacy is, like, mass psychosis. Or psychopathy. Mentally ill and/or congenitally evil people, who somehow have managed to get themselves elected to some responsible offices and give no other indication of psychosis or psychopathy, they're just out to get YOU. Hmm. One wonders where the psychosis/psychopathy really lies.


Thugs, smugglers, gangs, those are not the people hes aiming at when hes pimping his petition to ban all handguns nationwide, and proposing to shut down shooting clubs.

You are a great big giant KNOW-NOTHING in this regard, and all you're doing is proving it.

The man has a personal problem with guns

Proving that you're a know-nothing and eager to speak from your ignorance. Repeatedly. Thus establishing your utter bad faith.


the ones I'm sure he is protected by notwithstanding

Alrighty then. How sure is that?

Aha. This must be his security goons now.

Damn, you'll have to click and look at that yourself.

Oh, oops, seems not: "Toronto Mayor David Miller chats with police". (Forgive the National Post reference. Had a hard time finding a picture of Miller with anything resembling police anywhere near him. I'm sure you'll enjoy the piece though. It's right-wing spew.)

I guess that's him up on that platform:



"Mayor David Miller addresses the crowd of cyclists, urging them to make every week 'Bike Week'."

Oh, looks like those cops he was chatting with were from this crew:



"Members of the Ontario Provincial Police patrol the city by mountain bike."
(No, those will be Toronto police, not OPP, I think.)

Aha, those must be undercover bike cops all around him ...

Ha. I wonder which of the Totally Naked Toronto Men gathered around Miller here is the undercover ... er ... uncovered cop ...

Yeah. Let's see the mayor of somewheresville usa doin' that.

Btw, fyi:

http://www.mapinc.org/drugnews/v03.n851.a06.html

... City Councillor David Miller, 44, said he never smoked in Canada. It was only during his university days at Harvard in Boston.

... The candidates were reacting to news that Toronto police Chief Julian Fantino has told his officers to stop laying charges for simple possession of marijuana.

Fantino said he made the decision because of government inaction and several court decisions that leave police wondering whether simple possession is an offence at all.

http://www.humanhemphealth.ca/TO_Sun_090403.html

Councillor David Miller, 45, also supports decriminalization, saying police need to focus on dealing with "real criminals."



But enough mocking you. Is there some reason why a public figure should not receive public protection when the position s/he occupies creates an elevated risk to his/her security? I kinda like the idea that somebody might find it hard to assassinate my elected representatives, personally. Bad thing for a society, assassinations.



You folks probably need to write Mr. Nease a big slobbering fan letter ... and ask HIM what he meant.

Ask him right out: if he didn't mean to say that Miller was doing nothing about gangs, thugs or smugglers, why did he produce a cartoon that depicted Miller doing nothing about gangs, thugs and smugglers?

Should be an easy question.
