I know. The entire concept is crazy.

I'm a middle-aged, middle-class guy with no criminal record and a 15 year career in serious security work.

I'm hardly a street punk with connections.

But I could have an illegal handgun in a couple of hours.........ammo is not a problem.

Gun Control is completely useless.

Let's not be hasty.

Forbidding guns and ammo completely is worse than useless. It is a sign of a dangerous mistrust in your fellow man. That distrust is probably more dangerous than the guns.

But at the same time, I shouldn't be able to walk into a store asking, "Please give me a gun, before they get away," and expect to be given one. Some gun control, is obviously necessary.

Those reusable bags are only $0.99, so I'm sure they won't be deterred. Damn criminals and their loopholes!;)

I don't believe those are as effective as they are not air tight.

I hear city council will ban hammers next since hammering on the head would be the next logical weapon.

Crimes are not committed with legal guns. When you go to buy a gun legally don't you fill out some kind of registry at the store?

According to some on council and past councils we should all be riding our bike to work so we can go ahead and ban cars as well.

Riding a bike downtown makes sense as it is faster then a car and does help reduce gridlock, out your way though, doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

I avoid driving downtown too. But I do use the car in the suburbs. Would be difficult not too given how much our transit system sucks away from the subway lines.

Fortunately, I work and live off the subway line. I have taken transit on the fringes of the city though and it's a huge pain in the ass. If the TTC were funded like most large cities we probably wouldn't be in this predicament.

If you go to New York you can go almost anywhere on a subway. For a city the size of Toronto our subway system is laughable. But lets add more streetcars (a mode of transportation eliminated in almost every other juristiction).
