USA Shutdown

Hopefully not much. The LH mesa is at our exporters. The cooper wasn't finished last I checked.

Awesome. Thanks a lot Clay!

People cross oceans to get to America. Do you honestly think "The Wall" is going to stop them? There are already walls down there, and they go under and over them every single day. This is a political stunt, and nothing more.

It amazes me when people attack the left for their stupid ideas, but can't recognize one when it comes from the right. Political affiliations cause blindness on both sides of the spectrum and the sensible people in the middle are embarrassed for you.

Also, spell Border correctly if you're going to question someones intelligence on an immigration matter....

^^^ this right here...plus 80% of illegal migrants in the US enter through legal means (overstaying visas, coming as tourists and not leaving, etc.)

Also, the steel tariffs are driving up the cost of guns...just sayin'.

So can we assume that this is related to ITAR, which a previous government chose to decline to ask the USA for an exemption for Canada

Yes, correct. All rifles, handguns and related ammo and parts must be approved by the USA state department. The liberals back in the day could have had Canada exempted.

You believe everything CNN and CBC tells you to believe? If they are ILLEGAL how do you or anybody know how they got there? Most likely the same way all the "illegal" guns get in to Canada.... crossing the southern border. The Steel tariffs are making local US steel and the jobs associated viable again just as they are supposed to. Canada buys Chinese steel and resells it to the US as Canadian, maybe that should stop.

The wall won't stop it outright but thats not the point. The point is any reduction, via a means that does not punish the innocent (unlike gun control) is a positive. Any obstacle, regardless of how easy it may be to defeat, serves as a deterrent to the less strong willed and creates a funneling affect for those that are. As with all living things humans take the path of least resistance. Cut out a few options and it makes them easier to track, easier to find, easier to stop. Remember boats on the water are easier to spot than people across most types of terrain.

But thats getting off topic.

Your argument is equally flawed as Gun Control.

You believe everything CNN and CBC tells you to believe? If they are ILLEGAL how do you or anybody know how they got there? Most likely the same way all the "illegal" guns get in to Canada.... crossing the southern border. The Steel tariffs are making local US steel and the jobs associated viable again just as they are supposed to. Canada buys Chinese steel and resells it to the US as Canadian, maybe that should stop.

Because like he said, most of them enter legally and never return. There are records of all of that whether you choose to believe it or not.

Guns enter the same way as well. Right through a border crossing.

LOL you're really going to argue that the majority of illegal guns in Canada enter through border crossings??? There are records? kept by whom? links? or do you always take the word of some guy from Ottawa?

Trump: "And who's going to pay for the Wall?"

Crowd: "MEXICO!!!!"

Are you going to argue that they don't?! Lmao. Please, also provide records and links to your dreamt up theories.

Contraband flows on the highways my friend. In personal and commercial vehicles. Drug, weapons, you name it.... The proof as you require, is in the seizures that take place at the border crossings.

The CBSA catches a small fraction of the illegal goods that cross the border.
