Blame Canada

The United States of America is a independent nation, with a government formed by the people, for the people... of Canada? What on earth does Canada have to do with anything?

Nothing at all, if you ask an American. But if you ask a Canadian, you just might hear about a Canadian plan to advocate for gun control in the United States.

If you ask The Guardian (a UK paper), you'll find that they're trying to tell Americans who to vote for.

And if you ask the United Nations, you'll hear about this small arms treaty.

It's not very comfortable being the last bastion of the free world.
