Biggest question.

Who wins in a street fight.

I wanna give it to the Canadians on sheer variety but I think California might win that one.

1000% California. So Cal is mostly LA and NorCal is a bunch of granola outdoor survival types.

I mean, we have plenty of people living off the land in Canada too, and it's hard land.

If they're allowed bringing their guns, the Americans are going to win every time, of course.

Canadians tend to become creative when they are at war.

That's what I thought too but then I feel like California has more psychos. People don't talk about it but California is the true Florida man of the US. Florida just posts it in their newspaper more but Cali has some fucking weirdos

And crazy beats tough any day of the weak.

Check out gun ownership stats for Canada sometime. Might surprise you. Lotta unregistered long guns.

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 3 days ago

I live in a rural area, I'm aware. Although I thought Trudeau brought back the long gun registry.

There's some pretty severe restrictions, like max 5 rounds in an SKS (although plenty of people illegally use the full 10). Cali does too, but it's not clear if it's on the same level. IIRC you can still have handguns pretty much anywhere in the US, while they're almost banned here.

You're in luck! We don't keep any of our guns in California.

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 1 day ago

Yeah, those laws actually look fairly similar to Canada in extent. Some things are more lax, but some are actually stricter, like I'm pretty sure you can transport a long gun more easily in Canada.

Canadian ninjas or Californian ninjas?

[–] LostCarcosan@lemmy.today 2 points 3 days ago (3 children)

Considering California has Oakland and San Bernadino... I think California takes it

Berdoo redneck checking in, honestly the Canadians have a solid chance still. Mostly because they are walking war crimes, we are more crimes against humanity.

Basically every town in the middle of the state.

Stockton, Fresno, Merced, Bakersfield,

And Watts.

Fuck, Watts could probably take on Canada and Tokyo on its own.
