Offending individuals are either given an opportunity to obtain the necessary permits and educate themselves on safe storage procedures — while Toronto police hold the gun for safe-keeping — or else the weapon is destroyed. [More]So stop being paranoid about confiscation --registration is merely a "common sense gun safety measure."

Got your offending individual, right here, pal.
ReplyDeletethe only thing I will register, and for my own personal use is the size of the grouping.
ReplyDeletethe "crime control payoff" Canadians got for gun registration
ReplyDeleteThere were 302,000 “crimes of violence” in Canada in 2003. Statistics Canada indicates that 5% of these crimes “involved” a firearm. This works out to (302,000 X .05) 15,100 firearms “involved” in a “crime of violence”
cost-benefit ratio from registering 7 million guns
15,100/7,000,000 = 0.0022 or .22%, a cost-benefit ratio of 22 hundredths of 1%
Accordingly, 99.78% of our effort was wasted on non-crime guns
