This is what we're up against...Canada's biggest city has an effect on us all, whether it is handgun's or rifles...
With yet another innocent victim falling to reckless gunfire on the streets of Toronto, the call for a ban on handguns is gaining momentum and Mayor David Miller is one of the most vocal proponents of a plan to rid the streets of the deadly weapons.
"These tragedies happen simply because of the easy availability of handguns," Miller declared Friday. "And we can prevent this kind of atrocity if we get at the guns." (city tv webpage)
But from a report on the issue on the city tv webpage...
"Little information is available in Canada on how youth obtain illegal firearms. This survey asked dropout and detainee samples where they would obtain a gun if they wanted one, and how long it would take to obtain a gun. Although the questions are based on perceptions that have not necessarily been acted upon, responses provide a useful indication of potential sources of illegal guns and the ease with which they might be obtained. The fact that a small percentage of respondents did in fact identify that they would legally buy a gun from a store indicates a lack of knowledge and direct experience among at least a portion of the sample (as the sample was under 18, none of the respondents could legally have purchased a firearm in Canada)."
Can't the relationship between illegal possession and crime be seperated from legal owner's rights? It's a free country so If I want to have something legally then why do my rights get trampled because some idiot gang banger in Toronto got it on the black market and uses it to cause suffering? Let's just ban all illegal handgun's OK? Frickin' moron's.
