    DS> I have no problem with the way that you use your gun(s). I've seen some   
    DS> TV shows talking about game wardens which discuss having bow seasons and   
    DS> black powder muzzle loader guns. Have you used either of those?   
      
   I haven't but there are many in Canada who use black powder and Bows.   
      
    DS> And those other people you mention often have semi-automatic weapons

    DS> weapons, e.g. AR15?   
      
   I have not seen that in Canada. Handguns are not popular in Canada. They do   
   exist here but not in large numbers. There is a large numbers of long guns   
   here of the kind used when hunting, from .22 calibre to 30-30 for the most   
   part.   
      
   I have not seen an AR15 in my travels. I think they do exist here but people   
   don't take them out of their home.   
      
   The AR15 and military style weapons are banned in Canada since someone in Nova   
   Scotia went on a shooting spree last year, killing 22 people.   
      
   I don't think the AR15 or military weapons have any place in society today.   
   Those weapons are designed to kill people so it's no surprise that's what   
   people use them for.   
      
   In an active war zone maybe, but not on the streets of our cities.
