Many Canadians recoil at our gun rights here. At least I still have the right to defend myself from attack in most jurisdictions here by using a handgun. I guess in Canada, as long as the attacker(s) has the upper hand, it would be better for the resident there to die or be raped or whatever than for him (her) to be able to defend himself with a common defense tool. The handgun can equalize the situation so that the predators won’t be in a situation where they know that they will always have the upper hand.

Oh by the way, Canada has been able to have an increasingly smaller amount of GDP spent on national defense because they could depend on what we’re spending on defense. It directly benefits your standard of living.

LOL@common defense tool. And I'm sure Canadians would be just soooo afraid of being invaded by some random crazy persian nation if it wasn't for the US...
