Citizens can't carry, yet there's no shortage of gun-toting violent criminals.<br /><br />Sure sounds like all gun control is doing is ensuring that the gun proliferation seen in those places is limited only to the criminals and not to their victims.Mike W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03425962910696301026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-8207461158003047112009-12-09T16:56:41.557+01:002009-12-09T16:56:41.557+01:00I posted earlier: Would Canada's gun registrat...I posted earlier: Would Canada's gun registration, passed in the wake of the "Ecole Polytechnique Massacre," have prevented prevented it?<br /><br />Canada's National Post has answered my question, and has commented on ths subject far better than I can:<br /><br />Laws make bad memorials<br />National Post 12-9-2009<br /><br />http://www.nationalpost.com/opinion/story.html?id=2319959FishyJaynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-81945356501536325282009-12-09T09:05:53.881+01:002009-12-09T09:05:53.881+01:00"But by the time you arm enough people to imp..."But by the time you arm enough people to improve the chances of that happening, you've greatly increased the downside of gun proliferation.

If it were 3 minutes long instead of 20? <br /><br />How many mass shootings can you find where the shooter continued on to fresh victims after taking return fire? How many where having the capability of return fire was even legal?Sevesteenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15439626386416115766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-64747988489107463022009-12-08T19:24:20.028+01:002009-12-08T19:24:20.028+01:00Apparently MikeB doesn't realize that he and h...Apparently MikeB doesn't realize that he and his fellow anti-gunners ARE the "vocal minority."Mike W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03425962910696301026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-14830273672702605182009-12-08T16:41:49.279+01:002009-12-08T16:41:49.279+01:00And I can't help but wonder if one of my favor...And I can't help but wonder if one of my favorite themes has also been captured in this tragedy.
