Actually the gun laws in Canada are similar to the US when it comes to long
guns (rifles and shotguns).  I do know magazine size is limited to 5 rounds,
which is different, but aside from that, about the same.

Pistols are a different story.

Liberal politicians in places where legal firearm ownership is rare often
question why people need them... while their murder rate is higher than the
rural areas they look down their nose at.  Those crazy rednecks, by and large,
aren't murdering each other in the streets.
