At least one guy jumped out of his chair and drove to the track field to pick up the kid they forgot that they were supposed to collect at 9pm

Totally not because the whole world industrialized and modern medicine made its way into China. This trend could be in spite of Mao and not because of him.

Correlation does not equal causation.

A famine caused because of his agricultural reforms such as telling farmers to plant their seeds twice as close together to double yield. Or how about killing all the sparrows who were thought to be pests but actually ate the insects.

He did a lot of good things but if your fail to look at the bad things honestly then you are just a fanboy propagandist for autocracy.

In Canada the first step to legal gun ownership is emailing the RCMP and asking for gun safety training. Then they email you back a list of qualified instructors in your city.

Once you get the safety training then you can apply for a Possession and Acquisition License which allows you to buy firearms and ammunition. Once in possession of a firearm you need go register it so that if you are caught with it you don’t get in trouble.

“Restricted” firearms include hand guns and revolvers so if you want one of those then you need to repeat the process once more including the safety training and get a Restricted Possession and Acquisition License
