sadly, they closed down the ak47 range they had here......I tell ya, if I got a couple of you canucks out there shooting ak47's at old car bodies, you'd be thinking 'fuck me, I gotta get me one of these" ;-)
I think a lot of it is how you are rasied. I was raised around guns. Canadains, by and large, were not. Sure, there are some who own guns just because they can. Why are they wrong and some holier than though Canadian is right? If Canada's gun ownership laws were the same as ours, there would be just as many Canadians packing heat as Americans (on a percentage basis) just because they could.
There are already gun laws on the books and many times the existing laws aren't even properly enforced. We need better enforcement of existing laws instead of new laws and bannings. Why should I have to give up my right to own a gun because some dickhead shoots up a school, drunkenly shoots someone or keeps a gun out where children might get ahold of it?
Also, remember, that most guns used in crimes were obtained illegally in the first place. So banning guns would only take them out of the hands of law abiding citizens and keep them in the hands of criminals who would ignore any bannings or new laws anyways.
