But there are a bunch of stuff out there you can't buy because its dangerous no matter how good of an owner you are.

If they restrict the types of guns you can buy - and you can still hunt adequately with what they let you buy - I'm not going to shed a tear for you.

Thanks Pete. A lot of what you say is how I feel about dogs. My mother and I were attacked by a dog when I was little. To some, my fear may seem irrational, but that is how I feel. I'm not saying dogs are as dangerous as guns (I just wished my neighbours didn't have one lol, it barks all the time) nor am I trying to win anyone to my side. What I am trying to do is show that the government is wasting tax dollars that could be put to far better use, particularly youth programs to prevent kids joining gangs etc. and misleading the public. When the Prime Minister makes statements like you don't need an AR15 to take down a deer, the masses are going to think people are hunting in Canada with AR15s which is simply not true.
The language they have been using has done a great job of causing fear. Assault 'Style' firearms, Designed to kill the most people in the shortest time etc ignoring Canadian regulations and restrictions that prevent most of what they claim. It's disheartening to see so many celebrate smoke and mirrors legislation.
