Living there and making as many friends as i did, the whole gun ownership thing is ingrained into the collective quite deeply. These are very stand up, legitimate, law abiding citizens that see what they do as nothing more than a birth right (and constitutionally they are 100% correct).
We would go out shooting sometimes and i never knew what would be brought along til i got there, AR's, glocks, pistols and rifles all were part of the days events, and there no never any hesitation about any of them as everything we did was done with safety and responsibility at the forefront.
That's why it would be so hard to get people to change....because the vast vast majority of people with guns ARE responsible with them, and any major changes to their abilities to do so, would be seen as an afront to their ways of doing things correctly.
Most canadians dont understand that and see the issue as black and white....it just isnt that simple though.

I could care less about your little hobbies that you think are safe,it is clear you are wrong considering death and injury from firearm accidents are a close second only behind auto accidents in the USA. when over a 100,000 people are shot (accident or not) each year in the USA anyone with a half a lobe should know theres a problem that should be fixed.
As a canadian the only issue I really care about is the thousands of
american guns being smuggled into my country.
That is black and white.
