Stephen Harper Says Leave Handguns on the Streets where they Belong

Stephen Harper, the current leader of the Conservative Party of Canada came out with guns ablazing against a promise by Prime Minister Paul Martin to Ban handguns when his party wins the election in January.
Harper said banning handguns would result in more gun-violence because a ban would actually make people want guns even more. "It's like a father that tells his teenaged daughter to only date boys of her own race. "It may sound good on the surface, but it results in a rebellious attitude and a craving for the forbidden fruit," said Harper.
Harper also said getting tougher on criminals that use handguns during the commission of a crime is a much better way to deal with the current gun-violence in Canada.
But Harper also told a gathering of white males outside Calgary that leaving a few gun-happy trigger fingers on the streets in Toronto would do more to eliminate the problem in the long term.
"Let's face it, if you're not breathing, it becomes impossible to pull the trigger and thus, we see an immediate decline in gun-violence," said Harper, who then raised a rifle skyward, and began pulling the trigger.
The crowd gathered immediately began their display of satisfaction with Harper by pointing their long-guns to the sky, and firing in rapid succession.
