Absolutely should not have taken so long. This is specifically why laws need to be written.

What is it going to take for Canadians to be able to defend their homes from invaders and criminals ?

Edit : seems like some of you think I dream of just grabbing a 12ga for the first intruder no questions asked only to protect my TV. I absolutely don't. Y'all don't have any families though ? How are you supposed to know an intruder(s) intentions ?

You'll first need to convince millions of Liberal Canadians that yes....my $5,000 PC or my $1,000 television is in fact worth more than the life or well being of the person breaking into my house and trying to steal it.

Right now they think a criminal getting seriously injured or killed trying to steal your property is a travesty and that human life is more valuable than your personal possessions and you shouldn't want to defend them because insurance etc.

Someone should tell that to the government of Canada. They can stop putting armed guards outside the mints and stop letting brinks truck drivers carry firearms.

That's whats called a deterrent. Feel free to come up with a valid argument.

Laws are used to force the peons to rely on the cops. Cops are used to keep the prisons full. Prisons are used to keep you afraid.
