: First, let me say that I agree with the
: moderators. Being a watch forum, we should
: respect our "neighbors" as not
: everyone is comfortable with guns although
: like many of you, I'm a firearms collector
: as well. I also happen to be Canadian and a
: police officer who almost had to turn in my
: privately owned handguns because of anti-gun
: politicians who don't understand the issues.
: Myself and several fellow officers are
: already subject to ridiculous laws that

: very prohibitive laws already in existance,
: I regularly arrest armed criminals who,

: For the non-gun people out there, please
: understand we feel guns in themselves are
: not bad. I speak out only because the

: "the lunatics running the asylum"
: as is happening up here in Canada. When the

: are banned up here...I hope to move myself,
: my guns and watches to the States so keep up
: the fight! By the way, you pay less for
: Omegas down there too!
I am anti gun, but only because what I see my "peers" doing with them, I realize that the collectors aren't perpetrating the criminal activity. That said, Bill I wanted to comment on your last comment about the prices of Omegas in Canada. I dont know how established of a fact that is, but it seems to be true to me. I think the retail price in Canada works out to be more (even when the currency difference is calculated), and also, I think that the AD's are a little "tighter" or conservative if you will with the discounts they give, puting Canadians in a dire condition. Any comments?
Thanks,
Omari
