Issy, can you provide evidence that Dunlop had those guns in his possession 25th July 1945? That's about 3 years after his capture in 1942.

Issy, you ask; "Tell me, does the idea of Canada having a Firearms Registry/s similar to ours not appeal to you?"

A gun registry is a step in the right direction, but its not the panacea for the problems of guns, far from it. A total gun ban, with some exceptions would do the greater good.

Dear Paul,

Another question - how come Sir Dunlop, if
he had guns - never used them?
Things were after all pretty bad - right?
Was it because he didn't want to risk lives?
He was about saving them. Interesting.

Dunlop would take probably my feet over Issy's guns
any day.

Paul,

Our Firearms Registries are modelled on the Canadian Firearms Registry which the Canadians abolished because it did no good, wasted money and was a bad idea. Thought you'd never ask.

Foxy,

Wake up.
We all know of the nobility of Weary Dunlop; didn't you believe his words that I quoted from his diaries?

Seems that you are praising him one minute and calling him a liar the next.

He was prepared to lead a charge against a Japanese machine-gun post with mostly improvised and primitive weapons, fortunately the war ended before he had to try the almost impossible.
If you ever summon up the courage to read his diaries you'll find that he had made Molotov cocktails with petrol pilfered from Japanese trucks to be used in the proposed attack on the MG post.

Hi Issy,

The aim should be to get guns out of the community, not simply register ownership. Its well known those in that head office of yours down at the American NRA HQ don't want firearms registries.

EVIDENCE PLEASE! You being the one always calling for evidence from others.

Where is YOUR EVIDENCE that Dunlop had in his possession GUNS on or about 25th July 1945. You claim he did, yet can't provide any reference to that being the case. It appears you made it up on the run.

Hi Foxy,

Was it because he (Dunlop) didn't want to risk lives? Absolutely. One thing of interest is with defeat of the Japanese in SE Asia in 1945, the allies used armed Japanese as "policemen" to keep the locals under the thumb.

An example where armed residence, although noble was counter productive and cost thousands of lives needlessly.

The Warsaw Uprising 1944. Polish resistance, attempted to liberate Warsaw from German occupation. The uprising was timed to coincide with the retreat of the German forces from Poland ahead of the Soviet advance from the east. Stalin held his forces back to allow the Germans to annihilate the Polish nationals. Which allowed for Polish communists to eventually take control.

You have spoken of how your families country Lithuania? (correct me if I've got it wrong) was taken over and brutalised by Stalin. That was only possible because the western powers, particularly USA, but Britain and France as well, agreed for that to happen. Churchill's infamous napkin, showing Stalin the carve up of Europe post war. They are all guilty, there are no good guys in war.

Paul,

When the libraries open I'll be only too glad to shew you the evidence that Weary kept his pistols throughout the war'

Foxy,

You ask why he didn't use his pistols, don't be so naive.

"Dunlop would take probably my feet over Issy's guns
any day."

Well, my guns are potent but we don't know how often you wash your feet, so you may well be right.
