The Stephen Harper government has taken some sensible steps to battle gun crime in Canada. It's not enough. It's time to throw away the key.
The shooting at a busy subway station in Toronto this week is only the latest in a string of such outrages. Each time it happens politicians shake their fists and vow to crack down. Until the next time.
It's true that thanks to Harper, people accused of serious crimes with guns must show the court why they are not a threat to the public, before they can be released on bail. Good.
But let's face it: Existing laws around gun crime are not doing the job, bail or no bail. If they were, young men with handguns would not feel it appropriate to shoot at one another in public places. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. ~ Marcus Tullius Cicero (42B.C) |
