Yes, some people in both nations are hunters, farmers, etc. with
rational and practical reasons for owning guns. Some are target shooting
hobbyists. But the U.S. dominates in the number of people who are so
afraid that they feel they _must_ have a gun for "protection."

Despite the paucity of guns intended for "protection," Canadians don't

Frank, as I said elsewhere, you cannot bring yourself to think
before posting. 1. Guns last practically forever and modern
repeaters showed up in the 1860's 2. Therefore neither you nor the
Canadian government have the slightest idea of the "guns per
citizen" and it is likely to be higher than the US since Canada
was open frontier for much longer. Guns were necessary7 to feed
yourself.

As for lower rates of murder - Canada is s much more homogenous
society far less likely to have disputes over customs and
morales. Not to mention DA's releasing murderers on no cash bail
during Biden whom you loved like a father. Was your own father
corrupt to his very core?

Here is Liebermann's opening to support your stupid 309 guns per
100 Canadian citizens.

 
Where is this mythical "here" that you claim quotes my comments on
Frank posting a Wikipedia article on Firearms regulations in Canada?
In the years I've been posting to rec.bicycles.tech, I have mentioned
guns perhaps 3 times.  All were technical corrections and none of them
were recent.
 
Tom, you're hallucinating that I said anything.  Have you been using
AI software to invent your tales?  Better yet, are you really an AI in
disguise instead of a human?  It would seem to be the case if you're
hallucinating in a similar manner.
 

Why, he's almost as bright as you (sic).

 
Improper use of "sic".

Where is the mythical quotation and error in the above "bright" quote?
 
Change-o-topic:
Has anyone actually tried using an rust prevention concoction such as
lanolin (sheep oil) based Fluid Film for preventing rust and
corrosion?

If so, which version and did it work?

No. My use is much more mundane.  I'm looking for a universal rust
inhibiting spray that I can safely use on most everything.  Fluid Film
seems to be positioning themselves as the WD-40 of rust.  The
immediate problem is that I have 2 bicycles sitting outside, covered
with plastic, but still rusting a little.  Evapo-Rust works well for
removing rust from bicycle chains, but is not suitable for rust
prevention.  I also have a shower built from painted steel sheet
metal.  After about 60 years (since the house was built) the paint is
flaking off and the underlying steel sheet metal is rusting.  I really
don't need a bathroom remodel project at this time and prefer to save
the existing steel shower.  I also have boxes of hardware, an old
refrigerator that I use for storage, and steel tools that are
susceptible to rust.  The equipment and tools that were zinc plated or
covered with zinc primer before painting are holding up well. However,
I don't have room to build a paint spray booth or power coating oven,
that will be necessary to repaint everything.  For my guns, I use a
tacky lube, such as chain saw bar oil.

I have a can of fluid film, and spray it on steel objects that are
likely to stay outside, various bits of vehicle undersides, and so
forth.  "Boxes of hardware" sounds like a likely application, as are
steel tools.

I believe it's essentially lanolin in some kind of volatile
carrier.  Smells vaguely like sheep, but not as nice as a wet sweater.

I haven't done anything scientific to test it, but it seems to do some
good, better than WD-40.  It's not a paint or permanent surface
treatment, if it's out in the weather it will eventually wash off.  I
don't think it would do any good in your shower unless on those parts
that don't actually get wet very often.  It also stays a bit sticky and
may collect dust.
