[QUOTE="AC016, post: 179420, member: 9619"] There is no gun culture in Canada, people don't own guns in Canada, there are not a lot of guns in Canada.... and the list goes on. These are all myths of course. But, that is what a lot of people south of the border and in the rest of the world think. Here is a story that will change your mind about us: For 20 hours, an armed man holed himself up in his house and faced-off with Police. All this occurred 2 minutes away from me. The standoff ended when the SQ ripped the front door off of his house and the SWAT team went in and shot him with a rubber bullet/projectile. Pretty straight forward operation and certainly not the first time it has happened around here. What was found inside the house, was a bit of a shocker. The man had 182.... yes, one hundred eighty two firearms!! Police say it is unclear exactly how many firearms were inside the house at the time of the standoff.
