Re: Gunman on the loose - Moncton
Your logic is absolute genius.
More guns less shootings. I see it now.

It was the police officer that shot the raccoon for no reason other than to show off.

It highlights in their stats that 70% of homicides are caused by guns and only 40% of guns are acquired illegally on a survey of inmates.
So in theory whilst it does suggest no correlation between number of guns sold and people killed by guns it does allow for room that tighter gun controls would cut the percentage rate of homicides.
None the less nice that some one has finally put out a tangible article to read.

Also worth doing some research on the author of the article who has a history on writing controversial articles.

Sad to hear that. Getting a ride along with a knob can put people off, sure it is just a one off, I would not believe this tool if he says everyone does it, he is trying to justify his actions.
