OT: Of course from where I sit in TO gun crime is up.
It's like Kyoto to me. You know if they were addressing real TOXIC emissions I'd be in favour of it, but dicking around with GreenHouse Gasses well I'm not at all sold. Juxtapose that against the rabid anti-smoking campaign's (EX smoker here 10 years quit) and it seems a little hypocritical or politically correct (same thing ?).
On the gun registry: Any crime any time with a gun and you're GONE. Big PREMIUM penalty on top of whatever else you get. Forget Young Offenders crap when firearms are involved. Yes it's nice to save a life, agreed but think of all the lives that could be saved if they knew what they were doing ? We recently had a family cowering in their van in a mall parking lot as bullets whizzed all around.. I doubt those guns were or ever would be registered.
I'm not saying it's bad but as per usual the government picks the easiet lowest impact, least cost effective solution.
You they are like that kid fresh out of school that looks at a list of ten tasks and picks the most interesting regardless of value or weight. Not the one where the customer sees the most and rapidest benefit.
