Ian in the library… And out of it…

Because we all know that a ban will keep guns out of criminals hands… because criminals are law abiding citizens… no wait that’s not right…

This post was inspired by the Mayor of Toronto:

“We know where the guns come from,” Miller said. “Half come across the border, sometimes more than half. We need real action on border security.

“And the second thing we need is to take care of our own house. Handguns are still legal in Canada, partially, and we’ve got to make them completely illegal.”

The thing is that handguns are illegal in other countries and guess what… people still get shot. Why not try and find out the root causes of the violence instead of just banning the instruments and hoping the underlying issues vanish?

Also if we must ban guns can we at least legalize drugs… just a thought…
UPDATE: Feds rightfully say “No Way!” to handgun ban… and from looking at some of the comments it seems at least a few people understand the essential problem with a ban…
