Gun Culture in Canada
The National's Nick Purdon meets a man who feels victimized by his love of firearms--and who wants to bring Canada's gun culture out of the shadows.
How To Buy a Gun In Canada: Armed and Reasonable
No one thinks of Canada as a nation of gun nuts, but collectively, Canadians own over 10 million guns and this number keeps growing. Canada has been ranked 6th best country overall for gun owners by Guns & Ammo Magazine.
There's a new type of gun owner emerging -- 20 years ago you needed to know someone with guns to be introduced to them, but today, young people are discovering guns online. This new generation of young gun enthusiasts is often simultaneously pro-gun and pro-gun control, almost fanatical about following gun safety laws. They're making shooting a fast-growing extreme sport.
Despite somewhat high gun ownership and liberal laws, Canada’s gun violence is still remarkably low. What is it about Canada's gun culture and laws that separates it from the US? VICE talks to gun legislators and enthusiasts in Canada and the US to find out.

Some describe being a British gun owner as being part of a “secret community”, due to the stigma that is often attached. Benjamin Zand goes on a journey to meet Britain’s legal gun owners, and finds out why some of them want more access to guns in the UK.

I was finally able to try out one of my favourite WWII guns.
A Thompson SMG, mind you it was semi auto only. Still the thrill of throwing 230 grain 45 ACP down range was AMAZING!
I was at Calgary Shooting Center, a great range, and an even better store!
Shooting a British FN FAL L1A1 at Calgary Shooting Centre
You can follow me at
I'm often asked for what gun would I give up a piece of my manhood for.....while an FN FAL is one such gun. Hard hitting 7.62x51 NATO, in a very easy to control (on semi auto) gun. I wish I had taken a video of the target, but at 25 yards, I managed to sever the head from the body with this laser of a rifle.

The Cinema Range Explained

Each bullet is individually tracked and checked against a projected image to determine a hit or a miss. The Calgary Shooting Center is the first facility in North America to run such a range.
