Oh, what was I thinking.. In the great white north the average joe is not allowed to own/carry a firearm for protection.

Mike,

I'm with you. I also can't help but shake my head in disgust when I read or hear the media say something stupid like: "It was shot with a Magnum"...

As if there is a specific gun/calibre named "Magnum"... And the sad part is that the uninformed swallow it raw, without question.
