Handgun Ban?? Are these guys for real??
Ok, what in the hell is with the Liberals on this one????? Do they think we are as stupid as they obviously are?? There are very few circumstances in Canada where you can legally own a handgun now! So 50 of the 74 homicides in Toronto this year were from gun violence. How many of these guns were with "legal" firearms. And how many were "legal" handguns. My bet would be 0. So how does an outright ban on handguns solve the problem?? Isn't his the same old crap we talked about with the gun registry?? You remember that mess don't you?
So, let me get this straight in my own head. Someone who owns a gun legally, and uses it for target practice, target shooting competitions, or in a collection with proper permits now, will be penalized because some criminal scum, uses illegal handguns smuggled into the county to gun down innocent people. Isn't that just brilliant. maybe the Liberals just figure the people in Ontario are to stupid to realize the true facts, and will buy them a few votes. Even the people in Etobicoke, who have been hit hard by shootings can't really believe that this is a solution to the problem do they??
The other part of that announcement makes sense. Do a better job of trying to stop illegal weapons from entering the country in the first place. My only question is....why were we not doing this all along???
You know, I'm for gun control within reason. I do not hunt, and own no weapons. But c'mon, how does more and more controls over legal guns stop criminals from using smuggled weapons?? At least be honest, and don't use false logic to try and back up your position. Geez.........
I guess Martin can kiss a lot of support goodbye from Rural areas, especially in the west, where he just reminded people of the infamous "gun registry" boondoggle. What geniuses are running this campaign anyway?
