oh but DA, gun control is working here in Canada very well. We don't have nearly as many death statistics as the states do because our gun laws are much stricter. We can't go to our local wallmart and buy bullets without showing the proper paperwork that states we can own a gun. You can buy as much artillery as you want in the states at any store that sells it.
I don't know anyone that has a gun in their home for protection and I know a lot of people. The only relative that did have a gun in his home was my uncle and that was only because he was an R.C.M.P. He has now passed away so that makes nobody that I know with guns in their homes.
I would never have a gun in my home. Why would I need that? I have kitchen knives and baseball bats if I need protection. I never saw the logic in having a gun in a home. People who have guns in their homes for protection are putting themselves at greater risk of getting shot themselves I would think. JMHO.
This topic brings up somehting I'm curious about that has to do with protection in some sort. How many locks do all of you in the states have on your doors? and do you always keep your doors locked?
I have one lock on both my front and back door and that's it. During the day I don't lock my door. They get locked only before we go to bed at night. I have never had a break in, ever and I have left the house many times (especially when I lived out in the country and here a few times as well) and left my back door unlocked and didn't worry. Came back home and everything was fine.
I don't lock my doors because then I would feel like I'm locking myself in. We trust our neighbours and we look out for eachother's homes with or without a neighborhood watch program. We know who does who doesn't belong around us.
I am wondering why there is so much more violence that involve guns in the states then in Canada. We're neighbours ourselves so what are we doing different?
