#1 I was under the impression that handguns have been taboo for a long time in Canada. ??

#2 Handgun sales in the U.S. this Christmas are slightly off due to the decline in activity of the stuck-on-stupid anti-gun lobby and their nearly relentless campaign. Quite understandable actually, most of them are also involved in the anti-Bush campaign, which appears to have priority of fires.

#3 The Liberals say the goal of the handgun ban is to make communities safer.

So why don't they ban cars too? Aren't people also injured or killed by motor vehicle mishaps?

They are. Martin is selling this as a "handgun ban" but in fact all he is doing is forcing gun collectors to become target shooters. These are, or were, the only two categories of handgun ownership permitted in Canada (for civilians). It always was near impossible to get a handgun permit in Canada.

More Liberal propaganda, to make it seem as though Martin is tough on crime.

#5 To be clear, if Martin gets his way, only target shooters will be able to own handguns. Gun collectors will have to convert to a target shooter permit. Not sure what this would mean, except perhaps that they would not be able to keep guns in their homes.
