RE: Where I Stand On Gun Control - A Canadians Perspective
Interesting read. But what is your countries stand on gun control and your view in that regard. As much as I know, Canada has no such issues of trigger crazy misguided youths like USA.
We have to find advanced ways of gets guns of crazy peoples hands, while respecting the right of normal people to purchase firearms. You can start wide-scale restrictions, the American culture would never accept it. If people weren't so worried about the government taking their guns away, they would support initiatives to keep them out of the hands of dangerous people.
Sure I feel you. 👌
Sorry. I was distracted and failed to answer your question on Canada. Canadian culture is basically totally anti-gun except for hunters owning rifles. Where I live, I would expect less than 1% of the adults owns a handgun. We don't have open carry. I only seen a young person with a handgun once in my life, and he was with a bunch of bikers doing cocaine at a party. Some of the gangs in Toronto have smuggled guns from the States, but other that that kids don't have guns. I'm never afraid of getting shot anywhere I go. There isn't a culture of violence in Canada.
Personally I'm scared of guns, but I know how the American conservatives think. They won't give their guns to the government. The only solution I see, is to pass laws to get it off the hands of crazy people. American culture is different.
