Shooters seek handgun law change (UK). All, look at comments# 17 and afterwards on this link to see where ukman is coming from.
2ndreconmarine, your critique that the precipitous imposition of gun prohibition makes it a single variate analysis is spot on. My only disagreement is with your last paragraph.
Paradoxically, the article's authors are probably right about one thing. Access to firearms in the US probably means that Canadians can get guns from the US. However, the effect of that illicit gun trade is to reduce the violent crime rate in Canada.
I don't think law-abiding sheeple will take advantage of the black market for the right of self defense until the sh@t hits the fan. At that point, it's probably too late for most of them.
Sorry, but I'm really not interested in Canada, nor have I read anything in No.77 that's convincing. Thanks anyway.
