Guns don't kill people, illegal guns kill people

Well, folks, after another very long break from blogging, I'm back with another long, well-thought-out rant.

Now, I know the many people who go to my site are probably not Canadian, but I am about to speak on a Canucklehead issue that will someday effect their neighbors further south. Not long ago, in 2005, Prime Minister Paul Martin and his Liberal minions decided that, in order to curb gun violence, they would put a nation-wide ban on handguns in Canada. I'm not sure if this ban simply never materialized or if it was lifted by Stephen Harper, but I do know that it is extremely difficult to get a handgun or rifle in Canada.

The logic of this move escapes me. First of all, do they even think about the people who are committing all the gun crimes? Do they think that some nut-job gangster criminal is just going to waltz into some store and purchase his Colt .45 legally, having done all the paperwork and gone through all the legal documents? No! He gets his gun from arms dealers, other gangsters, and off of the corpses of his victims. Fact of the matter is that a gun ban won't actually stop the violence at all, it'll just make people think they're doing something about a problem they have no hope in hell of solving.

Second off, the gun ban would do far more harm than good. The reason why burglary is such a problem in Canada is because nobody can get a frickin' pistol to defend themselves with! A store owner, a home owner, or anything else can't resist an armed robbery because they haven't got anything to fight back with. So, while Canadians can only call the cops and hope the criminal doesn't get far before they arrive, the American can do this. Unless this madness is stopped, the people will eventually become totally defenseless to defend themselves from criminals and the police will be unable to stop the crime waves. Eventually, this may spread to the United States, violating the constitutional right to bear arms. Think about it, folks.
