So in your fucked up way of thinking, I should have no defense against becoming a victim of violent crime so that you can feel better about yourself?
If you lived in the south side of Chicago you wouldn't take any measures to protect your wife and children? If you lived on the AZ/Mexico border, you would leave your doors unlocked at night because the people of Weasel Piss Creek Saskatchewan are non violent?
You're talking out your ass. When the level and type of crime in Canada escalate to what is found here in the U.S., the citizenry will escalate their level of protection against becoming a victim.
The bigger issue is criminals/gangs etc. having a total disregard for human life, necessitating a level of protection against those scumbags of society.
Your an idiot. Those same countries that have the highest homicides rates tend to immigrate to canada as refugess.
All our major cities have major troubles with gangs mafias, and other groups.
We got the tamil tigers, italian, russians, jamaicans, columbians, quebecois hells angels, japanese gangs, everything. And outside of our cities we got violent retarted fucking natives that live like viking(you know big on the raping and shit).
The only reason our violence is less extreme is because our government and people aren't in the process of starting an arms war with people with nothing left to loose.
The rational and proven thing to do is deescalate the violence, by slapping criminals on the wrist.
As criminals just like everyone else feels the need to feel protected, when a criminal feels safe he leaves his guns behind.
