It's a different gun culture of non-guns in Canada too. And statistically the majority of imported and unregistered guns are in the hands of Gangs protecting their turf from rivals. The much touted long gun or rifle registry ended up costing billions in tax payer money did not stop any unregistered weapons used in a crime.
I had a stranger break into my basement he had a kitchen knife, I have a Katana. He said, "I'm sorry, I must have the wrong house."
I said, "I got a real knife so 'F__k off!'." The police picked him up 20 minutes later a few blocks away. Case closed.
