Maybe I'm living with rose coloured glasses, maybe the world is going down the drain; but it's damn near impossible to buy a pistol in Canada and **** loads of paper work for a rifle...and I gotta say I prefere it that way.

Any thoughts?
my guns have trigger locks and are locked in a gun safe. I do not keep loaded weapons around the house.

It is a fun hobby. Target shooting is quite relaxing and challenging.

It also is a sad reality that in times of crisis people behave badly. There will most certainly be a large-scale disaster in Los Angeles in the not-too-distant future. I work with law enforcement people and they all say the same thing - "you're own your own for probably a week...don't bother to call us." Should that happen, I owe it to my family to provide protection from people who are not prepared for the worst and decide they want to behave badly.

Finally, it is part of the heritage of this country. I hope I never see armed revolution here, but it is part of our history. Irresponsible gun ownership is a crime. Responsible gun ownership is a right granted by the constitution, and is not to be taken lightly or for granted.
