Hiding in Plain Sight

Winnipeggers looking for an answer to the gun violence that has ripped through the city in the past two weeks will likely turn to the city, provincial and federal governments, all of whom say they are already well aware of the problem and are doing their best to solve it.

Sometimes, "their best" isn't good enough. The reason the "gun-crime fix [is] elusive" is because they're looking for it everywhere but where the solution lies--within a responsible and capable armed citizenry. Within themselves, once they peel away the layers of prejudice, cowardice and excuse-making.
