The situation, when it comes to firearms—why you can own firearms, how they're obtained, everything—is completely different in the United States than it is in Canada. The United States has virtually no firearm regulations to speak of in comparison to Canada. In fact, if you look at the anti-gun groups in the United States, all of them are asking for what we have in Canada right now. They have no licensing. They have no storage regulations. They have nothing there.
I encounter this all of the time, people using studies and anecdotes from the United States. They do not apply. We've had gun control here for 30 years, since the early 1990s. We have a very strict regime in Canada. Licensed gun owners abide by it or they have their guns taken away. I think most people just want to continue to live their lives without this government intervention.
Hopefully that helped. Thank you.
