Crime down everywhere and nobody can explain why

their "tuff on crime" rhetoric. The downward trend has been observed since
1993, so certainly not much Harper's bunch have done can be credited for the
reductions:

Does a person dare say gun control has helped reduce crime? Sure, why not:
"The reality is that gun control works. In 1991 when controls on rifles and
shotguns were first introduced, 1,441 Canadians were killed with guns; in
2005, it was 812, a reduction of 629 lives lost per year. Murders with
rifles and shotguns have decreased dramatically, to 32 in 2007 from 107 in
1991."

"Sure, why not"? By that logic... well, never mind. That's not
logic.
The fact that more murders were committed in many recent years
in this country with knives than with firearms hasn't dissuaded you
from your lack of logic either, I suppose.
I must ask though, when you think about something like the
record number of shootings in Toronto a few years back, and realize
that almost all were committed by members of Asian gangs, what do you
think of what the mayor of Toronto then said? I mean when he started
babbling on about the "need" for more "gun control"?
Don't you think it would be more appropriate to talk about
immigration control and Asian gang control?

You mentioned 1993, which was the year I read that the FBI had
conceded that only 3% of crimes involving firearms in the US were ones
where semi-automatic "assault rifles" were used. Don't you think it's
a bit ridiculous that Sarah Brady and idiots like her pretend that
people are being shot on every streetcorner with AK-47s?

the kids who would be committing crimes are on the internet or their
phones or video games.

Isn't it obvious? Due to there requirement for passports in order to return
to the states, there are fewer violent Americans and even fewer of their
illegal imported guns being smuggled by American criminals into Canada, thus
crime is lower. We can thank tighter border security and the present need for
criminals from the red states, the ones with the lax, liberal gun laws, for
passports, which none of them can get because most of them have felony records
and aren't allowed to have them. Keep red state American criminals and
their shipments of illegal American guns out of Canada, and watch the rime
rate sink like a stone.
