Yeah, no doubt, but you may have gained something too! Beating a woman with fists wouldn't get the deceased a whole lot of respect.
Hey OP, I just looked at this thread for the first time. Just to clarify, my semi-auto .22 rifle holds 20 rounds, and my semi-auto pistol holds 10 rounds. Both perfectly legal in Canada. Besides, that I agree with much of what you say.
Here are the homicide rates in North America. Notice that no state has a rate as high as Nunavut, and even Greenland that is part of Denmark is a higher than any state. Also note that "gun toting Texas" has low crime compared to anywhere else in the southern USA:

Man the NRA does get around, doesn't it? They're all over the net ... just like the Putin Russians.

Seriously. True believers will argue their crap endlessly, but the overarching truth is we don't care about your gun laws, and don't care what you think about ours.
Please be assured that I speak for the overwhelming majority of Americans when I say that we don't give a f*ck less whether Canadians are Rambo-ized or rendered as incapable of harm (or self-defense) as sheep.

Here is a bulletin for you; the NRA is an American organization. It has nothing to do with Canada.

I am perfectly willing to put in my two bits, and my analysis of the legal, social, and moral implications of gun ownership. It's probably pretty clear by now where I come down on the issue.
But I explicitly deny that, apart from argumentation and moral suasion, I have any business in Canadian gun policy. When I go to Canada, I'll obey your laws. No matter what they are.
Any chance the True Believers would grant the U.S. the same courtesy? Didn't think so.

It's a violent, foreign import ... rather like radical Islam. The barbarians that live in places that nurture such beliefs should stay where they are and not export their poison.

So secure the border, if you're so terrified. I'm cool with that.

Yup. Anger and hate are masking emotions for fear. Always.
Re: Gun Control is Completely Useless. ??
The above post proves you have absolutely no clue about the firearms community in Canada.
You should probably stay the hell out of conversations on subjects that you know absolutely nothing about.
If you want to be taught, ask nicely.

The chance that idiots like you could gain coercive power has been a legitimate fear for Indians for 500 years.
Re: Gun Control is Completely Useless. ??
Well, I have a lot of experience with firearms and I come from an extended family of males who have hunted the Canadian woods for two and a half centuries. I grew up around firearms and I have no issue at all with country dwellers owning shotguns, the "old .303, bird guns, little .22s for varmints, etc. That is not where the problem lies.
It is an urban problem but that is where the vast majority of Canadians live, now. If you have a handgun in Toronto or Winnipeg, etc., you are definitely part of a problem. Nobody needs one of those. You can't hunt with a handgun. Nobody needs a repeating anything. If you're that bad a shot, don't pull the trigger in the first place. The "so called "assault rifles" are a sort of toy for those with drooping testosterone levels. They are not a useful tool for anyone, unless you happen to belong to Hezbollah.

Surprised you, didn't I?
Fundamentally, a handgun is a useless weapon. It's only purpose is to be easily deployed and easily concealed, neither of which is a positive trait in most circumstances. For any of the traditional reasons for gun ownership, hunting, defense, resistance to tyranny, the argument is much stronger in favor of long guns than handguns. It's even (ironically) reflected in the name of the American gun-nut group, the National RIFLE Association. That the NRA spends most of its time on handguns is simply amusing.
I absolutely agree.
