You are NOT very in touch with Canadian reality are you? Canadians by and large, unlike Americans. do not embrace, value or want handguns as part of our culture! A city like Toronto where the gang wars have seen far too many persons killed by handguns, especially does not appreciate some group of baby boomers who want to play 'Daniel Boone' offering a hand gun as a 'prize' - it gives the wrong message.
If you don't like Canada, or Canadian values, move to the States, buy all the guys you like and live a life where your chances of being shot are hundreds of times higher than what exists in Canada!

P.S. I know that you don't like what you call 'bleeding hearts' but perhaps you will be courageous enough to investigate your beliefs just a bit:
"America's gun problem is a handgun problem. Handguns exact an inordinate toll on American lives. The vast majority of gun death and injury–in homicides, suicides, and unintentional shootings–is carried out with easily concealable pistols and revolvers."
