Caper I think you need to better explain how the handgun registry is a mess in Toronto. There may be a few expired licenses around, but those were all from legitimate owners...not the punks on the streets...so it really is just another waste of police time.
Hammercarp. I agree with you except for one part. you said that they got rid of 400 firearms off the streets of toronto.
They weren't on the streets...they were in homes, likely fairly safe as well.
Like they say, fear a government that fears its citizens being armed.
This has nothing to do with safety for anybody except the government.
Hows that for paranoid.
they really gotta think about the laws they make a bit more.
1st..bicycle law for kids..how many kids do you see not wearing helmets.
smoking in a vehicle with kids...come on
cel phone law while driving...i don't see any difference now..everybody is still driving talking on em...or hands free which is just as dangerous.
These laws all cost millions of dollars to make...why bother spending the money if they aren't going to be enforced.
They would be called idiots for busting a kid with no helmet, but come across an unregistered single shot 22 and they are heroes.
