Rob,
I rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6.
Means of self defence is not an arsenal, and yes ,
guns are part of every free culture.
If it wasn't for guns we would not have enjoyed freedom,
anywhere. It is not a matter of culture, it is reality.

So, Yanni, do you have an arsenal on board your boat docked outside Hamilton?
I am sorry my friend, but guns are not a part of Canadian culture.
