Toronto Mayor David Miller launched a major campaign to have handguns banned in Canada last week...If a total ban is just the tip, does anyone care to speculate what the entire berg is gonna look like, and what it will do to anything that gets in its way?
The obscene reality behind this kind of legislation is it will not have the least effect on the violent criminal class that is causing ALL of the problem. Not what's registered, not what's banned, not what's confiscated (which brings us back full circle to what's registered, does it not?)
Let's analyze these two paragraphs, because they really contain the crux of this creature's subversive thesis:
There will be those who vigorously argue responsible gun owners are not the problem. The statistics are meaningless because collectors who own restricted weapons stores these guns properly and use the utmost caution.Translation: Regular citizens are not the problem. All on their own, and with no prompting from us, they do the right and the safe thing. So we must take that choice away from them, not only here, but everywhere, and only allow them to possess what we decide to--for now. And there can be no counter-argument because I say so.
And, maybe it is true. But, the deeper question for the community is the greater safety. Handguns must be banned, not just in Toronto, but also across Ontario and the country. Rifles and shotguns serve the purposes of those who hunt for sport. The laws cover this aspect sufficiently. Beyond this, there is no reasonable, logical argument.

The neo-Stalinist "rwash" who penned this endorsement is a fanatic on par with those who, 600 years ago, would have burned people alive for suggesting that the Earth is not the center of the Universe. We look back now and wonder how such closed-minded zealotry could have represented prevalent thought with anything new deemed dangerous and heretical. Yet we still see the same basic phenomenon manifest itself today with the hatred and impulse to destroy radical new ideas--like that maybe men can rule themselves, and don't need the David Miller's and rwash's of the world to command what they may and may not possess.
