law 'n order

Let me just say that I think Jack's pandering to fools and right-wing assholes on this issue is disgusting.

But how 'bout that Michael Hargreaves guy? He's just heartbroken that the guns he stored in the subsidized housing unit in Toronto that he was obviously in possession of as a result of fraud (why not extradite him for that?) have been used to kill people. Poor Mikey.

If you're in need of amusement, visit my thread in the gun dungeon after the post has been there for a while:

"Collector lost $40,000 in firearms"

Guns didn't leave all those guns unattended and vulnerable to theft by people who wanted them to terrorize neighbourhoods and rob and kill innocent people. Scum of the earth Mike Hargreaves did.

Report: 95% of Illegal Weapons in Mexico Originate in US
This news from Mexico – the Los Angles Times is reporting an estimated 95% of weapons confiscated from suspected criminals in Mexico were first sold legally in the United States. Mexican officials interviewed by the Times blamed the US’ lax gun laws, which are a stark contrast to Mexico’s. There are fewer than 2,500 registered gun owners in Mexico, yet police say they confiscate more than 250 weapons a day.
