I know that Canadians have been brought up in a system where the government always had the power and that only the government is allowed to have weapons now, but we think a little differently down here.

I think it's great. They aren't busy bodies, they are stepping up to help our security. Our police, border patrol and armed forces come from people that step up to do the job. The same thing is happening on the US-Mexico border, and it's about time. I WISH that smugglers would try shooting it out with US citizens, you would see the number of volunteers SKYROCKET. We do have a real security problem, until our borders are controlled, then all the customs agents in all the airports are just wasting their time.

It really burns me up that this administration doesn't do more to control our borders, it makes homeland security into a joke.
