High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Gun politics in Canada is largely polarized between two groups with opposing views. One group includes those who object to the registration of personal firearms. The other group includes those who believe in strict gun control and support current, and increasingly restrictive, legislation in which all firearms must be registered, owners licensed, and firearms deemed to be "dangerous" are prohibited. Within the former group, there are many who believe that personal ownership of firearms is one of the best deterrents to robbery, assault, vandalism and crime in general; many see this debate as a "rural vs. urban" issue.
