Here in Canada, we have restrictive handgun laws and have had them for over 70 years. And, we also have restrictive gun laws that restrict people from defending themselves in their own homes.

Take yer pick. But, be careful. Home invasion is nasty and it has been on the rise in Canada ever since the new guns laws were legislated in the 80s.

I agree with Don.

Having said that, I shall direct all of you to the umteen past threads. I think I would rather shoot myself than read ANOTHER gun thread in which people who know nothing about guns and gun laws and hunting and sport shooting spout bullshit ad infinitum.
