Jones was ranting about his right to own guns, 2nd amendement, blah blah blah. . . Have to protect your family a la 1776 revolution, great white sharks, etc.
Funny thing is, if you never grew up with guns because a weapons ban was in place in your country, you really don't see the need for one anyways. I imagine owning a gun (for some) is akin to smoking. You defend your right to do it, knowing full well the dangers it contains, yet if you never had one, you really don't have any urge to do it.
I can't think of a single Canadian I know who needs a gun, or would ever vehemently defend the right to own guns as a basic democratic and constitutional right. We just don't do that here. Even with violent crimes happening in Canada, most of us know that street smarts, common sense, minding your own business and avoiding vulnerability keeps us 99% safe anyways. No need to pack heat, which is really one-upmanship at its worst.
