Open carry in Canada. Nope, not unless your a cop or a security guard. Open carry does not fly here.
I'm glad you are happy to live in a country with less freedom.
The gun laws are stricter up north here and I guess that has the advantage of less guns (obviously),
I imagine that stricter gun laws would reduce gun ownership by those who obey the laws. However, I'm sure the people in Canada who do not care what the law says are just as well armed as people in America.
less guns and thus less gun deaths.
If guns had never been invented there would be no gun deaths. Oh don't you remember the good old days before guns existed where there was no crime and no murder? Oh wait, that never happened. People always killed each other. And I'm not sure gun deaths are always bad. For example, I'd rather see a woman kill a rapist with a gun than have a woman killed because she did not have enough physical strength to fend off a rapist while unarmed.
Most of the illegal firearms in Canada come from the United States; In fact a large portion of restricted weapons are brought into Canada by companies that supply movie sets with weapons. I did find out recently that you can rent a gun and blast away all day long at West Edmonton mall. Looking forward to trying that out.
I see the media/government of Canada is using their techniques of lying to try and ban the freedom of expression in Canada as well. Yes, it must be those evil movie crews. I'm sure Canadians will all be safer once they ban movies. Just think, if movies were made illegal no one could manage to smuggle a gun into Canada or make a firearm in their garage with simple hand tools.
Or is it that you think that by removing the freedom elsewhere in the world that you will make your country better?
I suggest you look into the laws and history of Jamaica so you can see how well gun control works in their country. Of course, they also blame the USA for the failure of their own flawed laws that make no sense. When gun control fails it is never because gun control is flawed, it is always the fault of the USA.
Mexico also blames the USA for all the guns in their country, including all the machineguns and grenade launchers. I guess they forgot to notice that machineguns and grenade launchers are highly regulated in the U.S! I guess when they ban guns, it is our fault when they show up even when they are banned here too.
Isn't it amazing that people who commit "petty" crimes like murder, rape, armed robbery etc. would be willing to even violate laws that say they aren't allowed to have guns?
Oh well, at least if we take away the guns from the people who do decide to obey the law, who might fall prey to murder, rape, armed robbery etc. that is a step in the right direction isn't it? After all it provides job security for people who make a living as thieves. We'd hate for these people to be unemployed or have hazardous work conditions wouldn't we?
