NO 2ND AMENDMENT HERE People are welcome. Guns are not.

The Canadian government is launching an awareness campaign targeting American travellers, reminding them that firearms are not welcome north of the border.

The Canada Border Services Agency wants to educate travellers about the country's tight gun control laws after two Texans in separate incidents were stopped at checkpoints when firearms were discovered in their vehicles.
Both men were ordered to pay fines, their firearms were destroyed and they were denied entry into Canada.
Canadian laws are different than US ones, the agency reiterated in a news release.
"It is strongly recommended that you not carry your firearm when travelling to Canada and/or transiting through Canada to reach another US destination. However, should you choose to travel with your firearms, you must declare all firearms in your possession at the first Canadian designated port of entry," the Canada Border Services Agency said in a statement.
"You must also have all the necessary permits and have your firearm appropriately stored."
Failure to declare any firearm may lead to the seizure of the weapon, a penalty or prosecution in a court of law and may make the person inadmissible to Canada.
A US citizen's vehicle may also be seized and the owner will have to pay a penalty to get it back.
"We welcome our US neighbours in Canada [and] to make your journey more pleasant, travel light and always remember to declare all goods with you," the news release says.
The agency says most guns seized at land ports of entry are from US travellers unaware of the strict policy, it said.
Americans with guns at border use 'cultural difference' defence
Earlier this year, the border service agency reported seizing 163 firearms during 115 incidents from travellers crossing the border into Canada through just Windsor, Sarnia, Fort Erie, Niagara Falls and London, Ontario – which is the site of an international airport – in the final six months of 2015.
The 59 firearms seized at the Ambassador Bridge, which connects Windsor, Ontario, to Detroit, is almost double the next highest crossing. That's at Fort Erie, Ont. where 31 firearms were seized.
The CBSA reported seizing 59 guns and 121 prohibited weapons at the Ambassador Bridge between July and December last year.
