My wife and I often watch the show Border Security. It is a pseudo reality TV series featuring border guards from Canada, USA, Colombia and Australia.

All Americans should watch the Canadian version to get a better understanding of our laws. It is really easy to bring a rifle into the country for hunting - you just fill out a form and keep it safely locked. Handguns, big knives, stun guns, and other weapons are usually prohibited. The guards will often let the people off and return to the USA if it was an honest mistake.

One family had 4 handguns, one hidden in the baby diaper bag. They said they needed it for protection.

Very sad when a nation is so fearful that they must arm themselves to come to Canada.
