You're a ****ing moron.
Of course, I knew that, as a "progressive", you could hardly be anything else.
I do understand your frustration, as you have lost every debate on guns you entered into with me.
So now you're just resorting to idiotic attacks on things you know nothing about.
So typical.
Want a pattern for sensible gun laws?
The Czech Republic.
They have a population of 10.6 million, and 300,000 licensed gun owners. That would be about one half the per capita rate of legal gun ownership in Canada. Their laws are strict, background checks, training, licensing....much like Canada.

But there the similarity ends. Personal defense is the most common reason for issuance of a gun license. 80% (240,000) of license holders have a permit to carry a handgun anywhere in the country.
Here's the kicker: the murder rate in the Czech Republic is 0.61 per 100,000. The rate in Canada is 1.68 per 100,000.

It is not the guns, nor is it the licensed people that own them.
And as an extra, imagine Danforth with somebody shooting back.
Politicians, you are on the wrong track.
