Now, I'm not anti-gun, but I do think the gun laws in the states are a little loose. The way I see it, Canada has perfect gun laws. Only hunting rifles and shotguns are allowed (with the exception of law enforcement)... That's really all a person who enjoys shooting needs, a rifle. I've always viewed assault rifles and submachine guns and pistols as something that should be for law enforcement only.
I mean, you goto someones house and they have an entire wall of AR-15's and AK47s, and dozens of handguns... You make a comment about it and they say, "It's for home protection"... Lets be honest. The most you're going to need for 'home protection' is a shotgun or a rifle of some sort. Chances are, the drug addicted guy you find taking the TV from you're house when you get home from work probably isn't armed, he couldn't afford a gun, he spends his money of drugs...
My 2 cents.

Well, since I've been a competitive shooter with handguns for 15 years, I guess that I'd be SOL if we did things the way Canada does them. By the way, would you feel better if a "badguy" used a shotgun on you rather than a handgun?
