Can you recommend any Canadian Native American writers? (I'm a big fan of Native American Literature - Momaday, Silko, Welch, etc. - but I'm not aware of any Canadian in my book collection). Thanks.

Look, you're probably in the US. I think the numbers in EU and other countries with strict gun laws (Japan is a nice example) proves without a doubt that strict gun laws lead to lesser gun deaths. The story that more guns prevent gun violence is just bollocks imho, there are no numbers out there to prove it. Of course, there are other factors that influence the amount of gun violence (such as social factors - in well to do middle class areas, you will have less gun crime), but restricting access to guns is not a bad way to curb the problem (in the UK, for example, while having quite high crime rates, there are less than ten gun deaths per year - because people don't have guns).

What an extremely stupid thing to say. My country heavily regulates gun ownership, and that's great. And I sincerely hope it will ban home made guns, so that we can go on living peacefully.

Thank you. I couldn't agree more.
