   You miss the point!  This is a Canadian usenet group.  Canada has   
   virutually NO gun industry, and the limited industry that is here does   
   not rely on a civilian market but a police and military market.   
      
   Also the Canadian gun lobby consists of groups that are funded by   
   folks with after tax dollars and the Canadian gun lobby receives NO   
   help or support from ANY firearms manufacturer in the world.   
   Nor does it receive donations from gun owners groups in other   
   countries.   
      
   Do a little research before you jump all over sarcasm...
