lol Good point.
I think the issue in Canada is more of a disagreement in why the Glibs foisted this registry on us rather than focusing on issues like gang violence and why the occasional shooting spree by some whacked out Canuck in Montreal or some other city.
All things considered, I think city people are more likely to be violent than the rural types.
The first step in reducing gang violence in Canada is to go to the US and say: "Legalize drugs, and stop selling so many firearms." It will never happen.
The first problem is that the US is willing to spend more money than us fighting drug selling organizations. Because of this, it makes sense for many drug organizations to produce in Canada and ship to the US: one can think of this as exportation of crime, from the US to Canada. We cannot possibly spend the same amount of money, even with an equivalent GDP, our population is lower.
Next, the majority of illegal firearms orginate from the US due to our lax border controls. As opposed to tightening the border (I think it is prohibitively tight) we should just convince them to have better gun control. Seriously, a handgun is designed to kill humans, not animals. There should be some more regulations on something like that.
