You've never even seen a real gun? I find that surprising, you sure you've never once seen a cop with a holstered gun?
I don't know many gun owners (the ones I've met are mostly hunters), but I did once see someone get shot in a crowded place in the daytime in a large Canadian city (not sure why my location shows a US flag right now.) The weapon was apparently a sawed off shotgun, which is a prohibited weapon that can be made from a non-prohibited weapon by anyone who knows how to use a hacksaw. I never saw it because the guy never took it out of his backpack. There is no way our laws can prevent someone from owning a gun like that, but I doubt I would feel any safer walking down the street if it was far easier for anyone to obtain more concealable guns.

The only guns I saw in my life are hunting rifles and my stepdad's police issued 9mm.

I couldn't begin to count the number of cops I've seen carrying guns in Canada, but aside from that I've only really seen hunting rifles and shotguns. I've fired a shotgun and a rifle a couple times each. If I didn't have kids I'd consider getting a low powered shotgun for bird hunting, grouse etc are pretty tasty.
