in reaction to my comment, you posted this:



the genie is not dying. Again, prohibition does not work (which is what anti-gun Canadians advocate, thus my pointing my comment to them), it doesn't matter if gun owbnership is up down or sideways and it certainly doesn't matter what the average age is of a gun owner. 260+ years of history, our founding document and the absolute fact this country was built on guns, again, all very real.
I guess I don't see the fact that less people want to own guns as prohibition. That is still free choice. I meant that since the average age of gun owners is older, and they are dying off. Thus gun ownership in America is going down, and we have a safer more normal society.

And just a heads up but Canada does not prohibit all gun ownership.
