We probably have more guns per capita than the US of Eh.

But they have to be 'long guns'.

We have now a gov't who was elected to scrap the long gun registry.

Actually most of us never registered those, with the belief it would go away.

A hand gun against a bear of wolf is a fool's game.

It's only good for one thing and that can't be good.

The last two cops who died here died because of vehicles, one being buried this Tuesday.

We shan't get into this I think, it's two different ideologies, cultures, and politics.

This is the big difference. So many things are the same, but others are so different as to define us. I bear no ill towards some guy in Splitsville USA needing a handgun in his pocket or under the seat. You don't need one here, unless you hang out at hippity hop bars at 3 a.m. at a speak-easy and deal on some other dude's turf.

We are more apt to pull your shirt over your head and once your are blind pop you a couple of good ones, and then buy you cold beers to settle up. Until the cops got open holsters about 1970 I never saw a handgun, and until now, except on TV never have seen one out of a holster. Good way to be I think.

I love the country to the south of us for what it has done, and I love mine in some cases for what it just is. Leave it at that.

I've now, as of today, lived 60 years and enter the 61'st year. I'm ripe, as in he lived to a ripe old age. The wife just opens the car window.
