    Ya, me too @ mg33. I own a shotgun and a rifle and am also licensed to buy a hand gun. In Canada the process that allows for gun ownership is rather extensive and also is very thorough in regard to current and past relationships. The reason being to prevent domestic homicides due to relationship issues. I really do think that an armed citizenry is a deterrent to corrupt government. One thing that history teaches us is that governments are inclined towards corruption and control of populations. Resistance is not futile. Look at Vietnam, Afghanistan, (maybe not Iraq), Sudan, Cuba, etc..
    That said, I think it is fair to request a psychological background check, levy hefty fines for anyone that is found to improperly store their firearms (thinking of the Connecticut shooter's [whose name deserves no mention] mother), and have mandatory safety training. I also believe that illegal guns are a much greater threat to society, especially in the states.
