WRONG!!!!! First off convicted felons can not legally purchase firearms. Secondly a lot of states do not allow you to own fully automatic weapons. The ones that do require a more stringent screening process and a tax on top of it to obtain a fully automatic weapon. However a semi automatic rifle or handgun can be obtained in 20 mins by filling out paperwork and having the seller call in for a background check.
That being said.. I'm American and I'm proud to be one. I dont deny that we have problems. We have lots but I also still think this is a great country to live in. I dont know why Canadians have such a problem with Americans. I really dont see that much of a difference between us. I could easily move to Calgary and not really have to much of a culture or system shock. The only differences would be its a lot colder there in the winter, poutine, more hockey and...... you guys cant win as many medals in the Summer olympics..
