In the U.S., there are the same type of heroes who are behind bars for exact same reason.

I don't want us to bring a Second Amendment before the U.S. Supreme Court until we get at least one more Conservative on the Court but I'm afraid there are at least four cases headed that way.

The gun control "law" (so-called) is immoral and contrary to Canadian traditions. It forces any individual who only wants to keep a hunting gun at home to apply for a personal licence every five years, and tell the police about his depressions and his love life. It forces ten percent of the Canadian adult population (i.e., registered gun owners) to notify the police when they change addresses. It grants the police arbitrary powers to seize guns, and to deny or revoke licences. In certain circumstances, it allows searches (re-christened "inspections") without warrants. It also forces the registration of all individual firearms, and prepares the sort of confiscation that the British and the Australians have recently suffered (like, before them, subjects of all totalitarian countries). It is one of the last nails in the coffin of the right of individuals to defend their lives if the police cannot (or will not) intervene. It discriminates against honest citizens in favour of criminals.

Sometimes I feel that we are getting close to this, and it's just a matter of time.
