I'll preface by saying I really like btimbit and his posting. Solid guy, with a lot of humility and great opinions.
This is not a shot at gun enthusiasts in Canada, but I really do appreciate that in a community as big as CP that the number of posters who actually own and enjoy discussing guns is a rounding error. It makes me really happy and comforted.
In saying that I mean no disrespect or ill will towards those that do, in fact if everyone treated the hobby like those on CP do I'd be comfortable with the entire population owing guns.
