For my good British friends,
I have just received a gun magazine that I subscribe to. In it, there is an interesting article about Canadian gun laws. Breifly, it states that there is one politcal party there that wants to ban all handguns. But but the costs of of registering hand guns in Canada has grown so dramatically the the government is having second thoughts about registering them. Two oppositing parties are admitting that handguns are a symptom of a disease and not the disease itself. They admit that handgun control has not reduced crime at all. The president of the Canadian Professional Police Association agrees with this position.

Basically, the big cities in Canada want gun control and everybody else don't. But maybe good sense is beginning to take hold in Canada. Hopefully, some of this good sense will cross over the water to the UK.
