That's not a statement of fact. That's your personal pro-gun violence bias speaking.
If Canada ever reaches a point like the USA where the government is unlawfully abducting people from their homes, you may understand why some people think common people should be able to own guns.
We unfortunately live in a world where guns exist and they can be used for oppression. People stand a better chance against armed opression when they themselves are armed.
Not every gun owner is out here using guns as an extension of power, most just use them for hobbies and huntings. And many express that they would fight against nazi level opression if it comes down to it.
That’s nonsense because gun ownership actually increases the likelihood of death for the owner. Not very self protective is it…

This article is about handguns. The vast majority of legal guns in Canada are shotguns and rifles. Handguns are already severely restricted in Canada and it is impossible to get one legally now unless your job requires one, such as law enforcement, game wardens, or certain security companies.
And what have the American people done with their guns in the face of tyranny exactly?
It's just a LARP.
