Face the facts.....the number of legally imported handguns coming into canada are in the tens of thousands, maybe hundreds of thousands per year.........

.....yet the murder rate by firearms (not just handguns) is slowly dropping.


When is the anti-gun crowd going to admit that there is no correlation?

I highly doubt those numbers. Likely thousands, but unlikely tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands is loony.

I highly doubt those numbers.

Of course you doubt them---they are heresy to your belief system.
Oddly enough, it is difficult to establish origin of illegal firearms. Many alleged US manufactured (by such as Colt and S&W) handguns have duplicate sernial #s. A container was opened in Vancouver, and found to have in the nose a large consignment of new firearms, with US markings and many duplicate serial #s. The alleged manufacturers had no record of producing them and the container originated in Shanghai, China. High quality chinese knockoffs.

The Chinese produce more than phony Rolex and DVDs.

I was talking to some police officers and they said that, at present, they believe more Chinese clone knockoffs are coming into the country from overseas than firearms are being smuggled in from the US.

and the death rate by firearms still continues to decrease.

BTW, Wendy cuckier's website claims that there are 1 million handgun registered in Canada, and in a 4 year period around 2001, there were 115 thousand handguns legally imported into Canada.

You think the anual imports are only in the thousands? The behind glass cabinette count in Calgary store is in the hundreds. Wanna count cities in canada that are the same? wanna talk 30-90 day turn over on inventory?

No need to worry yourself, though.

Because we aren't the ones causing the crime. Never have, never will.

My bad, I read "legally" as "illegally".

firearms aren't going anywhere, it is a proud Canadian tradition and heritage of hunting and fishing etc. Next majority CPC will see the removal of C-68 completely.

The way LIBRANO MPs keep resigning, and byelections resulting, that majority will arrive without a general election.
