      There is also the point that if the police don’t have guns, who can safely respond to gun crime? The majority of gun crime in Canada is committed with illegal handguns.

        Police, with non-lethal weapons. Though I agree this is a very unbalanced scenario, so of course the police should have some gun availability until gun crime becomes very rare.

      If you do that, your government will never respect you

      What does this even mean? Are countries with high gun ownership examples of societies high in “respect”? Like Japan, South Korea… no wait
