BELLEVUE, WA Reacting to the accusation from Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin that the United States is "exporting violence," the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms (CCRKBA) said Martin is trying to scapegoat an entire nation for his own failed leadership, and for crimes committed by his own citizens.
"On the same day that Prime Minister Martin was blaming the United States for his country's crime problem," noted CCRKBA Executive Director Joe Waldron, "CNN reported on a border arrest of two Canadian residents who were detained for trying to re-enter the country with handguns and ammunition concealed on their bodies.
"Ali Dirie and Yasin Mohamed are not Irish Americans from Boston, but residents of Toronto," Waldron said, "apparently trying to import guns illegally. And now that Mr. Martin has announced his plan to ban handguns in Canada, black market gun running is liable to take off just the same as illegal export of Canadian liquor into the United States during Prohibition, and with just as much success for the criminal underground in both countries.
"Canadian handgun sales have already climbed in anticipation of this ban, according to wire service reports," Waldron continued. "What Martin and other Liberals in Canada don't seem to grasp, or maybe they just don't care, is that a ban is only going to take guns out of the hands of law-abiding citizens. Criminals will still get guns, and Martin will continue blaming the United States for his administration's monumental failure to address a growing crime problem.
"Isn't it curious that crime has been climbing in Canada at the same time the Liberal government under Martin and his predecessor has been squandering billions of dollars on the gun registration fiasco," Waldron observed. "Martin and his Liberal cronies may not want to admit it, but gun rights activists down here in the states predicted this would happen from the outset. Canadian gun owners forecast the same thing, insisting that registering their guns would not prevent violent crime. Turns out gun owners were right, and all Martin can think of is taking further sanctions against his law-abiding citizens while doing nothing to actually reduce crime.
"It's all flash, and no substance," Waldron concluded. "The Prime Minister has no real solution to crime, so he blames honest gun owners and his good neighbor to the south for his government's failures."

Sound like a couple 'a hosers, eh?
Canadian hoser liberal bias in action.
I saw that. Stuart was really going off on the hoser.
Now why would two upstanding muzzies be trying to smuggle guns into Canada ?
Stuart didn't give up, putting that Liberal Canadian hoser in his place.
No wonder Stuart left CNN, he would have been fired by CNN, by now.
That weenie doesn't speak for all of us. Just another Humber Bay bumpkin who doesn't know #$@!! outside of their own wine-and-cheese parties and feel-good sessions.
I understand that, but that Humber Bay weenie is what was presented to America about at least the Ontario(liberal party stronghold) mindset.
If Ontario ever gets over it's love affair with the liberals, then it will be a new day in Canada.
As to "imported" US Gun violence in Canada. It is a myth.
Here are the stats:
All info. based on Private Firearm Ownership in the U.S. as of 1997,
All Firearms # of Guns 200-240 Million
All Firearms Owners : 60-65 Million
Handguns # of Guns 75-80 Million
Handgun Owners: 30-35 Million
1997 All Crimes in US in which Guns were used: 701,369
Murder......10,369
Other violent Crimes in which firearms were used......691,000
Measure Gun Violence :701,369/60,000,000 ( presuming erroneously that some of the 60 million gun owners turned criminal)=1.1689483333333333333333333333333 % of guns are used for criminal violence.
99% of gun owners in the USA are law abiding citizens. We are responsible gun owners and self help defenders. The 2nd amendment is no myth, as the liberal gun control wing nut press would have you believe.
There is very little gun violence in the USA.
Stats Source: www.justfacts.com/gun_control.htm
And if you say that 701,369 is a lot of gun violence, it is if it were manifest within the context of a population that was smaller than 260 million people,or not spread across a continent .But that is not the context of which we speak, thanks to the 2nd amendment of the United States Constitution.
The fact is that more people die from car accidents annually in the United States than from gun violence.
Maybe we should outlaw cars and go to bicycles.
In 2002 it was 43,005 deaths in car accidents[www.driveandstayalive.com/info%20section/statistics/stats-usa.htm].
There is no crime in Canada. It has been outlawed there. Groucho Marx said so. Peewee Herman seconded it.
"I saw that. Stuart was really going off on the hoser."
Stuart was great. Nothing like a convert.
Canada famous for being a little North of the United States..
Badda bing badda BANG!....There were so many quotes to choose from...I chose this one.

Since Paul Martin cannot get reelected on his accomplishments (Vote for me... I'm corrupt), he's decided to use the Gerhard Schroeder strategy, aka blame the U.S. for everything... It stirs up the Liberal base, and considering how obsessed Canadians are with what America does and whether or not America is dissing them, it probably resonates with at least a segment of the mainstream population as well.
Went to the ted "the swimmer" kennedy school of corrupt politics, eh?

Canada's Prime Minister Martin is a wacko liberal P.O.S. Every time that buffoon opens his mouth, he sticks his foot in it. He should STFU, and enjoy his hockey games, and leave the USA alone. His inferiority complex is manifesting itself into his politics, and that is really stupid on his part. I give him my "one finger" salute each time I see his candya$$ed face on my t.v., and I realy want to punch his lights out.(he reminds me of everything I despise about politicians!)
