is it true that you can't own guns in Canada?

You have to register and get a licence for them.

Law abiding citizens can have all the guns they want. Everyone I know has at least one.  If the police show up to take my gun, well, there will be some shooting. It is my right to have one and to defend myself in my home. Badge or no badge, no one will get it without getting shot.

I don't believe it's against Canada, it can be any country they can target. These guys that got caught were in Canada....

There are already with permits to carry in most States. You also have a waiting period before you can finalize the purchase of a new handgun. You must also register the weapon too.

I don't believe if you have a felony conviction that you can own any firearms regardless of the state.  However, I do think that you can petition to have your rights returned to you as your felony conviction is so old.  After doing some research however, I have not found anything that says that the right to own a firearm is one of the rights you can have restored.  Check with your local law enforcement.

The UN ban gun ownership in America? You're kidding right? They can't make laws for America. Hell they can't do much of anything. Give me a break, UN banning gun ownership. LOL

Yes guns should NOT be legalised in britain. It opens it up for any maggot to get a hold of one, One of the nice things about living here is knowing that we have little chance of ever seeing one, let alone having one pointed at us. However we do have the right to bear arms and defend ourselves against intruders. This could be anything that comes to hand, even your hands themselves. Maybe a handy baseball or cricket bat, or a hammer. Personally I favour the razor sharp samurai sword. Nothing says 'get the fuck out of my house' quite like one of those.

Gun control is very strict.  I lived there for 17 years and never saw a gun for sale except in the hunting section of sporting goods stores.  Drive-by and random shootings are virtually unknown there.

Handgun ownership is illegal in the UK and in the UK home invasion robbery is on the rise.  When a population is unarmed, then criminals can rampage the countryside without much danger of a homeowner protecting his family and property.\n\nThis is an ugly side effect of banning gun ownership.\n\nWe in the USA can still own guns and it is LAW given us by the Second Amendment.

Hello:\n\nI don't know what an airsoft gun is, and I don't know where Lee's Summit is.  However, if it's not a tank or an "automatic" weapon, or an "assault" weapon, the gun is legal.\n\nHowever, there are some PEOPLE who can't own guns anywhere.\n\nexcon

What I've heard from our former interns from Australia, guns are banned. The interns were really excited that we actually have shooting ranges here... haha but it IS Texas! So, I don't think there are. I'm realllllly sorry. You should come to Texas sometime just to shoot pigeons w/ a shotgun!! Woot! lol

No, it would just be like prohibition. Everyone who wanted them would own guns, anyway. I work with a bunch of gun-lovers (cops) and they would never relinquish their guns, even if it meant breaking the law. Of course, this will never happen, anyway.

Well this is a very debatable question. But I would argue that allowing humans to own handguns, even in order to protect themselves will lead to far more shooting and killing than without. The US are a good example of this. I quite believe Canada to be a country where it is pleasant to live, but to my mind such a ban would drastically increase the "level of civilization" there. Just my opinion though :)

Most states in the west like Texas and Georgia have a law that a civilian can own a firearm legally.  Once it is displayed in public view for all to see.  If you are driving it must be displayed on the dash board of the vehicle.  I don't know of any other states at the moment.
