Martin vows to fight gun violence
Punishing Criminals or Owners?
Now Paul must have really been thinking when he dreamed this one up. How can I get the urban vote, not solve anything and look good to city dwellers all at the same time. Now you have really done it. To think of a hair-brained scheme like this must have took all five brain cells in his tiny head. As you know, it's time for the right to clear this one out. OK, how many people actually died in firearm related deaths? It must be a lot to make it a national issue. It is typical of Toronto to make themselves feel like the fate of Canada is in their hands but in reality the rest of Canada could not care less. The average firearm death rate in Canada per year is 1385 and 79% of these deaths were due to suicide. Only 14% of those were due to homicide. That only adds up to an average of 194 deaths a year in the country due to firearms. To put this into perpcective, 29 people in Canada died in 2002 due to avalances and almost 100 Canadians die annually in a fall involving a bed, while some 250 others perish after tumbling from or on steps. This is just another way of how liberal governments use their spin doctors to make the public worry about a situation that is not as serious as it seems and scares them enough to get re-elected. What is next? Mandatory straps on beds so that no one will fall out of them? It kills more people annually then firearm related homicides! This will be the next "national crisis", I can't even sleep to think that next morning I might not wake up! This is only as big as it is because Toronto stomps its feet the loudest to tick off the whole nation and drive away real attention from other issues. In all seriousness, why not punish the offenders who commit the crimes and not responsible firearms owners. If these handguns are allegedly being smugglerd to Canada, what good would a national registry do? They have already spent approximately $85 million on a system that is not working according to the honest and taxpaying Canadian public. Are you really suprised? Why not use that $85 million to have manditory sentences for offenders of these crimes? I guess that would make too much sense. They only want to punish the owners instead of the criminals. What a country we live in!
