Reply #57: "And he piled upon the whale's white hump..." [View All]

"And he piled upon the whale's white hump the sum of all the rage and hate felt by his whole race. If his chest had been a cannon, he would have shot his heart upon it."

Your loss, if you chose not to read it. And yeah, that sounds like miller to me.

From a clearly pro-ban source:

Guns are not the primary weapon used to inflict criminal violence against Canadians. In 2006, just 2.4 per cent of the victims suffered at the end of a gun.

Yes, a handgun was used in two-thirds of the cases of gun violence, but those guns were illegally obtained and unregistered in 102 of 108 gun murders in 2006. A ban won't stop these.

Registered guns were used in only 2.27 per cent of Canadian homicides between 1997 and 2005, according to Statistics Canada tables. Also, legal gun owners were charged in just 1.2 per cent of murders committed with a gun.

(I assume, being a pro-ban source, that they would have given the above statistics proper scrutiny and not printed them if they were incorrect)
