What evidence do you have that crimes involving firearms are growing?  
Didn't the last Stats Can show that in fact the rate is the same (and in 
fact has been for the past two decades)?

Furthermore reread what was written.  Ineffective and meaningless.  Mean 
anything?  To clarify; the current Canadian gun controls are either 
totally stupid (banning perfectly legitimate firearms because of cosmetic 
appearance) or not being applied effectively (except as something to plea 
bargin with).
