    Big no-no in Canada calling our First Nations or Aboriginal people "Indians".

    We owe that name to the European explorers who thought our indigenous population looked like people from India.

    Whatever you choose to call the original inhabitants and owners of Canada is by all means your call. No pun intended. The question is, did they invite folks from foreign shores or did foreigners just invite themselves in

    We all know the answer to that one.
    We are still and will be for a long time trying to move forward up here. Those explorers, followed by our government, did some hideous things, of which I as a Canadian, am not proud.
    My ancestors were not part of that group. They immigrated much later to the "promised land".

    Three men - a Canadian farmer, Muslim fanatic and a Biker are all walking together one day.

    They come across a lantern and a Genie pops out of it. I will give each of you one wish, which is three wishes in total", says the Genie.

    The Canadian says, "I am a farmer and my son will also farm. I want the land to be forever fertile in Canada" POOF! With the blink of the Genie's eye, the land in Canada was forever fertile for farming.

    The muslim was amazed, so he said, "I want a wall around Afghanistan , Palestine , Iraq and Iran so that no infidels, Americans or Canadians can come into our precious land." POOF! Again, with the blink of the Genie's eye, there was a huge wall around those countries.

    The Biker says, "I am very curious. Please tell me more about this wall."

    The Genie explains, "˜Well, it's about 5,000 feet high, 500 feet thick and completely surrounds the countries. Nothing can get in or out; it's virtually impenetrable."

    The Biker sits down on his Harley, cracks a beer, lights a cigar, smiles and says, "Fill it with water.

    Update: the agency that was pursuing this had decided that with all concerns about this house in this neighborhood that they are not going to proceed any further with the purchase of this particular home. Now that I've gotten a good conversation about second amendment rights going

    The direction this thread is moving, perhaps the original question should have been what would you do if Colt built a hand gun factory in your neighborhood? shot

    Glad for the OP that things went his way. We need facilities like that but not in residential neighborhoods. Don't know if I was part of the threadjack or not. You go along and just follow the 'flow'. Sometimes I'm a little too passionate about a subject. For my part I hope I gave some good advice to the OP.
