LOL....in spite of what you feel about your guns, most NORMAL Canadians or Americans do not live their daily lives orientated around them. We do not live our lives involved with those who feel the need to keep a gun beside the door or under their pillow. My life down here is so far untouched by the violence. My friends (Who are Americans) do not feel the need to be armed to the teeth, nor do we advertise our distrust of them in the wrong hands.
It seems to me that not feeling that need to fear, does protect us. We, who do not see a robber, rapist, murderer or thief around very corner are rarely threatened by them.
It is mostly the ultra Conservatists, ie Republicans who if fortunate enough to have a decent job look down at those on the lower social scale, can even thing the them dead beats all the while denying them the wherewithal to earn a decent living, have decent health care, or a decent education. And God Forbid, a poor country suddenly discovers or becomes decently well off through oil or another fortunate event, feel they should be "protected" from a decent life. Who invades for profit other than the US under Republicans??
When a country wishes to change it's government to another, why not leave them to it?? America got to choose without interference so why deny others the same right??
Worse they suck in other dumb conservatists from other countries to aid and abet them.
