I have been to Canada a couple of times. Rode with Adrian (Chrome) and his wife Sue. Fine couple and wonderful friends. Had a great time every time I went.
With that said. Condeming the Canadian people for what their government is doing is stupid. How would you guys feel if the Canadian VRCC members got on the board and condemed the american people for what our government is doing. You probable would not like it at all.
I think what the Canadian police had done in this case is ludicris at best but the Canadian people dont have anything to do with it. I have seen many cases similar to this one in the US,things that make you go HUH. What are they thinking......
well with all due respect to Chrome and Sue, you gotto admit that canada has alot lower crme rate than we do in the USA
Yes, they do have a lower crime rate.
But, a crime rate is caused by many different factors. Population density, overall mental attitude of the general population, education, etc. I bet stabbings are lower there, too (but do they have less knives?). There has never been a study that has shown that more guns = more crime. In fact, in countries that have had civilian firearms ownership, then banned them, have seen an increase in crime. See Australia and Britain. Not saying that's the cause, though. In the US, increased civilian carry has not caused a jump in shootings. In fact, every state that has adopted relaxed concealed carry laws has seen a decrease in crime. Again, not saying that's the reason.
I agree with Mad (he's my brother after all). I have met the nicest people in Canada. Adrian and Sue are just awesome people.
Would I live there? Nope. I like my guns too much, and the US is my home. But I have no problem visiting. And Adrian and Sue are welcome to go shooting with us here any time they want.
