The Maple Leaf Paradox

Guns are used in only a fraction of the violent crimes in Canada, but young offenders are using firearms more than ever, according to a Statistics Canada survey.

The report released yesterday says the rate of gun crime is at one of its lowest levels -- affecting only 2.4% of all victims of violence -- and holding steady.

Guns are being used by young offenders "more than ever" but the violent "guncrime" rate "is at one of its lowest levels"?

My head hurts.

Still, with all those knives and clubs being used by feral youths at the height of physical prowess, I'd want to have a gun, eh.

Wouldn't you?
