I rode along with my son as he did a photo coverage on a multi story hotel. The Hotel was located in Buffalo, on Niagara street, along the Niagara river.
As I stood by a window, looking across the river into Ft Erie, Ontario, Canada, I reflected upon how socialism has negatively (IMO) affected our neighbor to the north.
Of course, some time ago the "crown" collected many privately held guns, and instituted other socialist measures.
This brought to mind, the recent case in Ontario, where a man was arrested for defending his home/family from a crossbow wielding intruder.
