People DO have the right to defend themselves.

This whole defend yourself with guns spiel reminds me of a man who finds a genie in a lamp. The genie says, "I can grant you one wish but whatever I give you, I will also give to your enemies".
The man says "I want to have an advantage over my enemy, therefore I wish to have deadly weapons".
And he receives deadly weapons. So do his enemies.
How is having easier access to guns an advantage when the dude you're trying to defend yourself from also gains easier access to guns?
The only winner in that conflict is Smith & Wesson.
AND their shareholders! Let's not pretend it's just a privately held mom & pop company reaping the rewards.. nor that it stops at shareholders -> because some of that $ becomes political campaign contributions, soooo.. connect the dots and it's easy to see how those who make the rules about public safety make rules that do the opposite. Cha-ching!

Aaah, yes, such a sound reason to be armed to the teeth - the possibility of an alien invasion where green space aliens attack us with clubs and slingshots. 100% definitely a reason to have more guns than people per household! This should be taught in schools in between school shootings!!

Hey don't mock The Simpsons! They warned us about Donald Trump being president someday and look at what happened when we blew it off.

Nobody I know owns a gun.
I live in a fairly big city. I definitely know people that own guns. A few that go hunting, and others that just go to ranges to shoot targets.
I've also seen a hockey bag filled with some kind of AK-47's or similar knockoff once, but those weren't likely legal weapons at all..
That said, we simply don't have a gun crazy culture here. Maybe the average penis size is just larger North of the border?

I would tend to doubt that…..I know mine is big enough 
And anyway……it’s not the Meat…it’s the Motion.
What’s your problem with the United States, anyway? I have no problem with Canada.

Not much. Just the orange guy, maga q-anon types, and the gun problem that’s created all these mass/school shootings.. and I suppose some other things.. stronger systemic racism, bs like trickledown economics, lack of healthcare for people.. but of course you asked what my Problem was so I’m only pointing out negatives! There’s also plenty to like about the USA.

I heard Canada banned airsoft guns or they were considering that.Did that really happen in your country,goldfish21?
No idea. I don’t think so tho. I’ve seen posts in the last few months on fb about guys getting into airside and wanting groups to go play with and shoot each other or whatever. Doesn’t seem banned to me.
