Also Mikey, you live in Lethbridge, why do you care about American politics and guns so much? You're a rural Albertan who's only likely interface with America is crossing at Coutts to buy cheap smokes, booze and fill up you 1986 F-150. Why such an Ameri-boner?

If freedom and the bill of rights fall in America, what chance do other nations have? Also, it seems that whatever happens in America eventually happens in Canada because our leaders are weak.
The right to bear arms is not out-dated and un-needed. Americans may need the 2nd amendment in the coming years more than ever....especially if the military is used to suppress protest and unrest.
It's a baffling double standard that a government will willingly give guns to citizens to protect it's own interests in the case of war, but then take them away when a citizen wants to protect their own personal interests and safety.
When you criminalize guns, only criminals (and government) will have guns.
