I can't believe you are seriously going to say that if you legalized drugs violence would go down, but then say you also need to ban guns.
Maybe it's a reading comprehension issue for you then. If you read what was posted you will find that I have never advocated for drugs to be legalized. Or is it that you have such a difficult time refuting my argument that you have to make up something and atribute it to me?
Decriminalizing Cannabis would take the profit out of the sale of the drug. That drug profit being the back bone funding of organized crime which is the main contributor to gun violence on Toronto streets. No it wouldn't reduce violence, it would reduce gun deaths.
Which is it, are people killing each other because they have access to guns or over drug money, because if its over money then whether or not they have guns won't impact if they kill people. Guns and Bombs are easy to make, bombs are easier to make than it is to grow drugs. Hell its easy to accidentally make a deadly bomb if you aren't careful with cleaning supplies.
I wonder why the few of you are working so hard to make this a confused issue?
No one kills someone else because they have access to guns. Someone who wants to kill someone else, has a much easier time of it if they have a gun. That's pretty simple to understand isn't it? Maybe not for these so called law abiding gun owners.
People either have liberty or they don't. And all liberty has always come from the barrel of a gun (or tip of a sword) either yours or someone elses.
This sounds like a bunch of chest thumping bull****. Like Colpy admitted, should the police show up at his place, he isn't going to fire shot one at them. They can walk in, take all his guns and leave without him raising a finger to stop them.
Liberty doesn't come from the false sense of security you keep in the closet. It comes from the heart of those who are willing to trade their life for it.
If the majority of society are law abiding and trustworthy citizens then you will always be stronger in an armed society. If the majority of people are not law abiding trust worthy citizens, you shouldn't be in a democracy.
What do you call those who would choose to keep a loophole that allows for handguns to be sold to criminals?
Anyone you can't trust with a gun, you can't trust with a vote. If they are too unstable and dangerous to handle a firearm, they are too unstable and dangerous to get a vote.
You can vote for whatever you like all day long and your vote isn't going to do even a smidgen of the damage one bullet fired into a crowd will do.
Closing the gun show loophole isn't going to affect any "legal gun owners" ability to buy or own guns. What it will do is expose those who will sell guns to criminals the end up killing or injuring an innocent bystander.
Kind of like a priest being vehemently against an international pedophile registry. Can't be too many reasons for that.
