canadian guns

We were visiting the USA from Canada, hanging with family for the holidays. My brother-in-law was on the couch drinking his morning coffee and watching TV. I sat down and saw it was a National Rifle Association (NRA) infomercial. There was dramatic video. A huge magnet grabbed piles of guns, dropping them into a crusher. “This is Canada where the government takes away your guns,” the announcer ominously warned. “It could happen here.” I asked my brother-in-law “Do you believe this?” He shrugged. “You know you can own guns in Canada, right? They don’t do that.” Shrugged again. He and his sons are hunters and safe gun owners. When I returned home, I checked in with my Canadian buddy, also a hunter and gun collector.. “If your brother-in-law comes to Canada for a hunting trip, call me. Tell me what gun he likes and I’ll get it for him.”
