This can't be said for alcohol or automobiles or anything else you want to compare to firearms to make you feel better about the fact that gun lovers have been socially conditioned by generations of people who believe in their constitutional right to bear arms. Something a bunch of quakers wrote down on paper and put a seal on waaaay to long ago.

Times change. We don't think the same way we did when that constitution was written. Unfortunately, the side-effects of "right to bear arms" has made it almost a necessity to bear them because that right itself has had a direct cause on the increase of crime that nesessitates them in the first place.

Dude... you are not John McLean, and this isn't Die Hard. This is probably the scariest thing about firearms... listening to stories of "what I would do". You know what? Most of you would fumble the gun out of your pocket and drop it to the ground all the while pissing your pants before your trembling finger would ever find the trigger.

The NRA and their rights to bear arms has significant sway in the US. Pseudo control of municipal, state, and even federal authorites. Maybe Charleton Heston is the real president of the US... who knows.

wild guess with NO basis in fact.
Or maybe the word "fact" means something different in canada.
