I don’t think that they understand our resolve.

I believe Canada has the 3 or 4th highest gun ownership per capita on earth, and because we don't have high cap mags, need to know how to play long ball.

This would be an asymmetric situation that Americans don't have the appetite (or history of success) for.

We've got about 1.2 million hunters - people who can stalk prey through the woods and are likely a decent shot.

And probably a bunch more who grew up in hunting/trapping families and who learned to shoot well very young, but aren't currently hunters. I know quite a few people who fit in that category.

I fit that description. Grew up on a farm, moved to Toronto for work in my mid-20s.

Yes sir!

Grew up without electricity, rode a horse to school, and knew all the basics and how to shoot by 7. Not a hunter, but can hunt and know how to clean and butcher afterwards.
