Of course, as someone who lives in a society where guns are largely frowned upon, where handguns and assault rifles are largely illegal, I'm not surprised.
Just wanted to point out that this is a huge misconception. I'd say, yeah, guns are frowned upon here, but even most Canadians are unaware at what is legal and not. Generally speaking I can own most rifles, shotguns and handguns, as long as they are not fully automatic. .25 and .32 caliber handguns are prohibited, but I cna pretty much buy any other handgun with a barrel length of over 4".

Some rifles have been deemed prohibited, but if I want an AR-15 (civilian version of M-16) a Canadian with a PAL license can get one no problem.
