“what Im saying is that sometimes allowing people access to whatever weapons they want is like pouring gas on a smouldering cigarette on the road.”

I am surprised to see that people in your part of Canada are so hotheaded. Most Canadians I have met are very pleasant and even-tempered, and I would have no problem having them carry a firearm around me.

“A a note on Second Amendment rights to arms as a means to keep the government in check I believe thats outdated.”

Well, fortunately you are a citizen of Canada and you don’t have to worry about all those crazy American ideas about freedom and how to keep it. Stay well north of 54’ 40” (is that the border?) and I’m sure you will be safe as houses.

By the way, I visited Toronto for 5 days in 1990. I’m ashamed to say that’s the only time I’ve ever been to Canada. What a great city with nice people. I hope to be back someday and see more of your beautiful country. I wanted to hunt there but I heard you now charge an extra $50.00 for me to bring in my rifle. I guess I'm perceived as something of a threat. Oh well, maybe I'll just hunt in Alaska. That should come as a relief to the powers that be. A pity though, really.
