"Unfortunately, Britain is going down its own self-determined path, one where only criminals -- and now police -- are carrying guns."

In other words, as has been said a million times over:

Outlaw guns, and only criminals and the State will have guns.

DUH!

You and others may have an interest in reading Wayne LaPierre's article in March AMERICAN RIFLEMAN. What is going on in Canada is nothing less than Hitlerian persecution of gun owners/hunters.

from the article:

"the short-term impact [of the handgun ban] strongly suggests that there is no direct link between the unlawful use of handguns and their lawful ownership."

I disagree. As lawful ownership declines, unlawful use goes up. To me, that's a direct link.

Maybe I'm reading it wrong? I think the writer meant directly/inversely proportional, but that's not what he wrote.

I'm probably pickin' at nits.
