Correct. Sadly, the Americas, outside of Eastern Canada, are not particulary safe by world standards and it is good that this characteristic of Eastern Canada is pointed out. Its urban violence rate ranks with the best Asian or European cities. We ... Read More

All you need to know about firearms in Ecuador by 3lckr
You CANNOT legally bring your weapons to Ecuador. Why did I put legally? I wouldn't know any illegal way to do it... Anyway, firearm imports are closed indefinitely by our "beloved" Correa, and import of any other type of weaponry is complicated and ...

User, Your understanding is solid. The silly quote you point to is, as you say, not found in fact. Everywhere in the world where guns are carefully restricted and monitored, there is far less unnecessary death....so much so in the USA that the extra ... Read More

"All the best to you though. I will just say be careful,." Thank you for that. I deeply sympathize with what you went through and it is no excuse that this happens in other countries. It is not evil, merely a country that has been forced ... Read More
