Americans are mostly afraid of losing your rights, of giving up the constitution, of a black man as president. People are afraid of Bin Laden, Bingazzi (sp), and all kinds of crazy things.

In Canada, many people really do go to sleep without locking their front door... here in Montreal, we can walk down a downtown street at 4am... we can get into an argument at a bar and know that it will end at worst with a punch in the chops... We know who our neighbours are. We hold the door open for strangers, buy a stranger a cup of coffee or a beer....

Hunters and "Gun nuts" in Canada respect all of the laws. They love hunting and collecting and talking about guns. My own brother makes his own bullets for fucksakes... but unlike Americans, we just don't feel an overwhelming urge to sleep with guns on our pillows.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. There's nothing wrong with owning a gun. I've shot a few guns in my day and its kind of a fun thing to do.

What the big problem is, as I see it, is that lots of Gun-loving Americans are frightened into buying more and more guns thanks to groups like Fox News, right wingers, and the NRA. You are basically being sold on the idea to "BUY GUNS - PROTECT YOUR FAMILY - ooOOOooo!"

Apologies to any gun enthusiasts here - I don't mean to insult you. But isn't it possible that you were SOLD these guns under a false and dangerous premise?

I'm glad you live in a crime free utopia where you go to sleep with your front door unlocked. I don't.

Afraid? Or prepared to defend yourself? I have asked you this before but you never answer ?.. What will you do if sometime you are actually confronted with some scum breaking into your home looking to fuck-over you or your family? Pray? Call 911? Use Kung-foo? Or are you so naive as to think you will never be a crime victim?

And "frightened into buying more and more guns" is the stupidest thing I ever heard. Like if a situation arises a wheelbarrow full of guns is an Americans defense plan.

The generalities you make about political parties, gun owners, Americans are pathetic. You are one of the most hateful and narrow minded people I've ever seen. Is it an act? Cry for attention? Or are you really this way?

Providing for my own financial and physical safety and well being is important to me. If shit hits the fan I have both bases covered, do you?
