And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
They're funny about a lot of things. Some national, some provincial. In New Brunswick the hunting guides are not permitted to carry guns. That can get a bit dicey when you're tracking a wounded bear. They tend to be just a bit irritable. One year that I was up there I went out with one of the guides from the lodge and his client to help track one. Since I had already gotten one I wasn't allowed to carry a gun either. More than once when I was taking point I was thinking to myself that I was nuts doing this. The only weapon that I had was a folding Buck Lite knife and I don't think that it would be much use in a face to face with a pissed off bruin. Luckily it didn't come to that. Come to think of it the client didn't have a rifle either. She was hunting with a compound bow................
Canadians have guns, just not as many guns. I know several people with guns.
What we do have is ketchup flavoured chips and polymer currency that doesn't rip and comes in pretty colours. We also add a 'u' in words like flavour and colour. We're nuts.
What Canada also has is Alpine Beer which is only sold in the Maritime Provinces. President Trump needs to make a trade deal to import this into the US.....................
Canadians don't want you to own guns. I just don't get it, but they don't.

I know Canadians who own rifles too, but the rules are a bit insane for people who live in bear country.
