Hi, >> Simple fact: Guns kill ppl. Access to them does same. End of story >> here in Canada.

True, but why make it easy for them? > You give law-abiding citizens the right to arm themselves, Do they not have the right?

What country are you comparing the US with? To your first point, what country are we talking about? Are you criticizing some law forbiding anyone to own a gun? BTW: What do you think about the recent shooting in Erfurt, Germany? Do you think it could have been prevented if the 18-yar old guy wuoldn't be allowed to own two guns legally? Bye Roman
