Y'all can have firearms. Even the dread AR-15 is allowed there. Only certain specifically named military style rifles are prohibited I know several Canadians who own restricted firearms.[image deleted]

Yes but in Canada you know your kids are going to come home from school!

well thats all the things you need guns for. so why let it bother you, what would you use it for?

It's karma's compensation for your universal healthcare.

american here. colonial territories fought constantly in pre-constitution America and gun battles were constant. Canada's settlements were sparse pre-confederation - skirmishes weren't as common or widespread. i'm fairly certain Canada adopted a gun law after consulting with British law makers with respect to 'frontier' gun control - it's not to do with Canadian's being pussies.

Be thankful

If you want a gun, go hunting.

1) a hunting rifle is more than adequate for home defense
2) actually hunting will give you practice in it's actual use, which can be jarring for people who aren't used to shooting. And live targets are different from range practice.

BecaUse Canadians are normal.

You should of just stopped at "Is it because we are pussies ?"

I would argue that your country is the adult version of the USA.

Because Canada cares more about people's safety than corporate profits and man-children getting to play James Bond?

We have the right to bear arms.
