Besides the fact that the name parodies one of the darkest times in American history

Er, you do realize that calling scandals '<thing>gate' has become a common naming convention for scandals, especially in the past decade, right? There are over 100 such scandal names listed on this Wikipedia page, for instance. It's not so much a parody name as a trendy name nowadays. If you have some bias against the name, alright, cool, that's your thing, but I figured it was worth mentioning that you're in the minority there. For most people it doesn't have any sinister or parodic meaning; '<thing>gate' has become synonymous to 'the <thing> scandal' in modern parlance.

Yeah, but guns are crazy widespread in Canada, especially Western Canada. It's just most of us react the same way to somebody saying they own a gun as they would a lawn mower. :P It's so widespread and common it's unremarkable.

I guess I just don't like how the whole thing, even the name, has been drastically blown out of proportion.
