A national consensus of reasonable accommodation is preferable to Canada than an enduring, tiresome and never-ending national debate about regulations and constitutional rights.


If the issue is whether Canadian gun laws are the most draconian in the world, we really have no disagreement there - they are far from the worst in the world. If the issue is whether the long gun registry has been eliminated, again, there is no debate about that.

But respectfully, I am simply asking you a basic "yes" or "no" question: May a Canadian citizen purchase a firearm without a PAL?
