Who's doing the exaggerating, even Mexico doesn't have hundreds of armed citizens shooting it out. (BTW, private ownership of firearms is more restricted in mexico than in Canada, so it really works there, eh?). I don't need to exaggerate the gang battles here either, I live on a quiet upscale street in the burbs of Halifax, the same street as one of our most notorious drug dealing families, who have since moved out, (thankfully). Many of my neighbours are armed, including an 85 year old lady I know quite well who dubbed them "the gang who can't shoot straight", (I call them the "Sopranos lite"),but she can and has the trophies to prove it, No, shoot outs in our fair city are not a daily occuarance, monthly maybe, but on our street, we are prepared to shoot back, and we are law abiding citizens.
