Have you ever taken a gun course? Its not as intense as you are suggesting.
Plus, IIRC, the guns were taken away from them by the Liberal goverment. The Harper government is supposed to give them back.

Both this alternative and the status quo are not acceptable. I would prefer a wholesale reorganiztion of what used to be known as Immigration and Customs. Unfortunately this would be difficult, costly, time consuming and would result in a drastic reduction in the number of government employees.

Good point.
The whole Union thing should be thrown out, IMO.
