I agree with Gil on this point.  I have a concealed weapons permit and carry 
everyday and it is infact more about the lack of cops and how remote most of 
the communities are versus whose in office.

I've seen this before and I'm also not sure I see the connection.

My day to day personal safety - the kind of thing that would want to make me 
buy a weapon - is connected more to how many visible police my local city or 
county has on their payroll (and not the mafia's). This has nothing do do 
with the national leader.

Our supreme court ( which is appointed by the leader - or justice minister ) 
does not sit on criminal cases, unless they are constitutional issues 
involved. The last time I remember a murder case go before the court involved 
a mercy killing and the court was looking at the whole issue of euthanasia, 
not whether the defendant was guilty.

Unless Obama's crew were rewriting downward all the mandatory prison terms or 
personally signing pardons for large numbers of violent federal prisoners, 
this makes as much sense as saying the price of oil is fluctuating based on 
the  colour of the sky.

I would love to sit down some cold evening with a pint of bitters with a few 
of you to try to understand why the expectation that one man elected through 
the very system people detest could be expected to turn things around in 
under a year. 

Our Prime Minister probably has more power to shape government policy then 
any US president since probably Nixon and we had so little faith in any of 
the potential candidates that we set Mr. Harper up with a minority government.

well-written fear mongering.
