well Canada has I think the largest proportion of Guns:Families ratio in the world, 7,000,000 guns for what? 6,000,000 families? We're generally a hunting society and have been one for a loooooong time.
Because canada really doesnt have that much of a job problem and no real military rivals there's not that much of an effort really to encourage enrollment in the armed forces, however because we have alot of teenagers and because teenagers always want to shoot things we hav thus alot of military enthusists who wanna shoot things. That and also because Canada never lost a war. :nana:
Also, because also we're what? the second largest nation in LANDMASS in the world we have alot of space so were also natually inclined to think up means of using it, so having airsoft battles in little grassy knoles where no one lives is more or less efficient use of land no one is farming or living on.
My 2 cents.
