More cant from our good friend north of the border. I am about to celebrate my 42nd year in these United States. Have traveled far and wide. Have lived in several major cities, including Houston, Washington DC and Atlanta. No problems at all. The fact is that the vast majority of Americans live lives of blessed tranquility.
Perhaps Eric would care to share with us his proposed solutions for battling criminal activity. (By the way, Eric, the criminals hate an armed populace.)
