A few miles South you’ll find a federal standing army invading a state against the will of its citizenry and state legislators. This is in defiance of long held traditions that have armed the citizenry in anticipation of defending against tyrannical governance.
By comparison, the Ontario Provincial Police refuse to engage in the federal firearm buyback program out of a desire to prioritize investigating violent crimes.
This is a relatively shallow comparison, but I do find it interesting nonetheless.
