Maybe not quite true..
Population Canada 30 mill with 7 million guns estimated
Population USA 300 mill people with 200 mill guns plus

But all figures are wild estimates..

I said discharge to take the piss.

Out of interest are the faint hearted on this thread at all concerened by the approximately 3 million illegal handguns on the streets of the UK? Thats approximately 1 illegal handgun for every 25 men, women and children.

Or by the fact that in the UK anyone who is not a criminal and who is not registered as mentally unsafe may be issued a license for a shotgun?

I think you are remembering the original thread of my dissent where the word was discharge ...

The youth was clearly disturbed....but what the hell is an 18 year old doing with a gun for God's sake?

that story got a bit part in the news...but it really is the people, not the guns, so in that case, probably lack of parental responsibility...

I think I must have led a very sheltered life as the only gun I have ever handled was the air gun my brother had when he was a teenager.
