t bill and I have already debated this issue but I want to assure you that
his comments about Canadian crime stats have no basis in fact. Likewise
the comments of Robert Rountree are somewhat misleading. Canada is in the
process of implementing a mandatory gun registration system. You are
allowed to own as many legal guns as you like but you must register them
like you would a car or a boat. It is very legal to import rifles but
automatic weapons and hand guns are, for the most part, not legal in
Canada. I am not an expert on this subject but can't sit still when
blatant lies go unchallenged. Canada is a safe and friendly place to visit
with lots to offer and where the US$ goes a long way.
