The bottom line is that lawful and safe gun owners believe there is a place in society for guns.

The anti-gun crowd believe that there is no such thing as a lawful and safe gun owner so there is no place in society for guns.

Period.  Full stop.  Anti-gunners operate from a purely ideological fear based position.

Lawful gun owners  in Canada, some 3 million, feel persecuted under some punitive and ineffective laws and with the implemented U.N.  firearm marking treaty, another expensive layer of bureaucracy is being added that everyone asks, how will that reduce the likelihood of me being shot?  Crickets.....

The irony is, in Canada, the statistical probability of being shot is in the same ballpark as being struck by lightening.

A McDonald's cheeseburger is more dangerous to you then a gun is.
