It's weird to me that the gun control debate in the U.S. comes down to liberals vs. conservatives. It's not a liberal vs. conservative debate to me at all, but one of pragmatism. It's about the greater good and practical application of public firearms.

I know a lot of conservatives in Canada who are for gun control in some measure. Sure, there are debates about how to apply it, but I think for the most part in Canada, conservatives and liberals want controlled access to guns. The debate in Canada is more about the details and how to define and apply control, but there is a common ground to be had when it comes to public safety.

It's important to point out that Canada is not a saint when it comes to firearms related crimes. We are far behind the U.S., but still worse that many other Western countries. I am not turning my nose down at the U.S. since we have room to improve as well.
