First Gritty Shot

Now, at long last, is the beginning of the Liberal offensive in the War of Fantasies. Paul Martin just proposed a complete ban of handguns. I am for a handgun ban but it will not cut down on the recent “wave” of shootings. To lower the number of legally held handguns will certainly lessen the total number of shootings somewhat, but the recent shootings that got everyone so worried were primarily committed with illegal guns smuggled from south of the border. A ban will not change the supply or demand for illegal guns. So, the two are two fundamentally different issues. To think one will have an effect on the other is pure fantasy. As it is such pure fantasy, it is not very effective. If the Liberals want to win this war, they had better come up with some better fantasies in the coming days.
