canvas, I will accept your comments regarding the right-wing in Canada since I do not know enough about Canada's social and political dynamics to comment but here in the US it seems to me (my opinion only) that the right wing is far more intrusive but they don't see anything wrong with it - for example the intravaginal ultrasound probes in Virginia.

And yes! A day at the range works wonders. I've taken many a firearm virgin out to the local range and invariably they had a good time.
