I am Canadian, we have had gun control for many years. Hand Guns require special permit to own, you also have to have a specal permit to move one from your house to the range. The new gun control system in canada is good, there is only one small part of it that doesn't work(the gun ownership database). The idea behind most of the gun control law is to make sure that everyone that owns a gun know how to treat that weapon at all times, while hunting, while target shoot or while storing. I own many different hunting rifes/shotguns. I don't want a gun under my bed for protection or hidden downstairs in a drawer. I want the all lock up in a safe, with trigger locks on each gun and the ammo stored some where else. I want to be safe not only from the bad guys but from the good guys as well.
