Gee go figure. Guns taken away from HONEST citizens and the CRIMINALS go on a rampage. Who'da thunk it?

When people like Sarah Brady successfully lobby governments, the result is an increase in crime rates, plain and simple. What's really unfortunate is that the resulting increases in crime from enacting gun control usually result in governments thinking that they need to clamp down even harder on gun owners. The result is even more crime. Every increase in crime rates brings harsher gun laws in a never-ending cycle. This is exactly what socialists like Sarah Brady and the DNC want.

Thats why now some in England are calling for a ban on "long knives", the ban on firearm ownership has not worked.

Crime was not supposed to rise after handguns were banned.

How do you say "Duh!" in Canadian, Australian and British? ;-)

Canada's reported violent-crime rate of 963 per 100,000 in 2003

This rate would equate to about 240,000 in Iraq during 2003. Based on this, Iraq is a rather tranquil, peaceful place compared to Canada ... or compared to the U.S. for that matter.

blaming their crime problems on guns smuggled in from the United States.

Close the border, Canada!

I know you don't have a military, but maybe you can put those singing guys on horses all along the thing and don't let anybody in or out. If you don't have enough of those guys, supplement them with comedians and hockey players. Goalies would probably be best. And lesbians in flannel. Them too. And eskimos and the guys who make the syrup.

"blaming their crime problems on guns smuggled in from the United States."

I wonder what else is getting in and out of the country as well. And we are focused too much on the southern border.

I think a fact that is not mentioned when talking about "crime guns" and the fact that they come from the U.S. is that many firearms are MANUFACTURED in the U.S., so obviously they're going to come from here sooner or later, legally or otherwise.
