Yes, I believe I admitted that they were weak analogies, as Azure also used to drinking and drugs.
Shooting is fun- this was the position I was hoping would come out. So we're willing to balance personal enjoyment against the potential for mass death?
This serves as a response to btimbit's post as well. It's fine if that's what your position is, just admit that you value personal enjoyment of a novelty more than societal well-being.
I have been on a firearm hunt before. I didn't at any point say it was easy. That was an inference you made based on my comment of returning to more traditional hunting methods. I'm just saying there are other tools to accomplish the exact same end that don't represent a substantial threat to the lives of many people. A knife can also harm people, but the scale of threat a firearm represents compared to a knife is obvious.
Regarding acquisition of chemicals through licensing: there are still some chemicals that you cannot obtain in spite of licensing, that are specially restricted and controlled.

Legally obtained and stored firearms are not a substantial threat to you or any Canadian. You've been watching too much U.S. news. Of course, there is potential just like there is potential for someone to mow down a sidewalk with 100 people in their rented cube van. And it's way easier to rent a van than get a gun.
