1:15:00
pretty much just like us.
And the reason that they have
(Toronto, Canada)

1:15:04
so few murders has to be
because they've got

1:15:07
so few guns.
1:15:14
What kind of guns do you own?
- Uh, I hunt.

1:15:17
I own rifles and shotguns,
and I own pistols.

1:15:19
- Mm-hm. So how many guns total?
- Uh... Probably about seven.

1:15:23
- Seven guns?
- Yeah.

1:15:24
- Do you have a gun?
- I have a few.

1:15:26
- How many guns do you have?
- Half a dozen.

1:15:29
- You could name how many people
that own guns, that you know?

1:15:33
Two, three, a dozen?
- More than that.

1:15:36
- There's a tremendous
amount of gun ownership.

1:15:38
We're a large country
geographically.

1:15:40
We grew up with hunting and
fishing being a tradition.

1:15:43
- In Canada, with a population
of just around 30 million -

1:15:45
there's about
10 million families -

1:15:47
and the best estimate is
somewhere in the region

1:15:49
of seven-million guns.
1:15:51
- Wow!
1:15:53
Canada was one gun-loving,
1:15:55
gun-toting, gun-crazy country!
1:15:59
Where can you get a gun?
- Uptown, any time I want.

1:16:02
- I see you're a Glock owner.
1:16:04
Where can I get a Glock
in Canada?

1:16:07
- Most gun stores'll sell 'em
to you

1:16:09
if you have the proper
permits and stuff.

1:16:11
- In fact, despite all
their tough gun laws,

1:16:13
take a look at what I,
1:16:15
a foreign citizen,
was able to do

1:16:18
at the local Canadian Wal-Mart.
1:16:20
Where's the ammunition at?
- Where's the ammunition?

1:16:23
- Yeah.
- Back here.

1:16:28
What kind are you looking for?
- You know, like, bullets.

1:16:33
That's right.
1:16:34
I could buy as much live
ammunition as I wanted to

1:16:37
in Canada.

Sarnia, Canada
