What are you, a member of the NRA??? That's so stupid!!! I can't believe I just read that! What's the use of citizens having weapons??? Shooting each other? Well, if that's the reason why criminality is MUCH lower in Canada/Québec than in the US, why our streets are safe for everyone at night, why we had only one major shooting (one too much) here while I've stopped counting the ones in the USA (too many there too, mind you), I prefer total gun control. As for economic issues, well, the US/CDN maney exchange rate has been getting more and more profitable for us lately, so I'd say US is the one with economic issues. Especially here in Québec, we have absolutely no effects of the recession happening everywhere else in America for 2-3 years now. And Canada has free health care for everyone. And a much less terrible poverty rate than in US. And true democraty too. And we don't go around the world bombing other countries for WMD that don't exist... Terry

(...) You say that like it's a bad thing. But no, I am not, the NRA are misguided, they miss the point when they talk about hunting and home defense. The point is right there in the 2nd amendment.
