On this mornings news I saw that the Prime Minister has told one of his ministers (Bill Blair, former Toronto chief of police) to look into the possibility of banning all handguns and assault rifles. To begin with my understanding of a true assault rifle is one capable of full automatic fire. Such rifles are already prohibited here in Canada.
There have been rumours for some time that this has been the Prime Minister's intention for some time. Now he has finally come out into the open.
The handgun proposal can be laid at the feet of the numerous persons shooting others in Toronto this year. From the news reports I have seen both the victims and shooters seem to be predominantly black. Maybe we should ban blacks to take care of the problem.
I think the Prime Minister will find he has opened a huge can of worms with this proposal.
Thoughts?
