I was reading a gentleman who posted what seemed to be a very simple and respectful question. It was amazing at the rabid, bigoted and anti-gun responses this guy received from just about everyone. I know that not all Canadians are anti-gun, but it seems like a lot of them really hate guns and people who believe in using them to defend themselves.
This is one of many posts I have read that disturb me about the Canadian mindset:

I was thinking it would be very nice to do some backpacking and hiking around Banff National Park, as well as around British Columbia. However, there is a lot of remote areas with large grizzly and mountain lion population around there. As well, I would be in some very isolated areas which puts me at risk of being stalked by some potentially unfriendly 2-legged predators as well. Basically, I would not want to travel around the Canadian wilderness unarmed, just because a bunch of liberal, jerky people believe guns are inherently evil. Most of these people probably live sheltered lives in one of the three cities that exist in their country. Sadly, these same hard-headed and uneducated people are the ones responsible for making a majority of the laws.
Contrary to the response of one poster to the Yahoo question, I am assuming that many of rural Canadians don't look suspicious at "people who carry guns to protect themselves."
I am speculating here and don't really know the Canadian mindset. I am interested to hear the opinions of others here, especially the Canadian High Roaders here.
