Banning the tools of a trade don't stop those already abusing it. BUT how else can they stop handguns ? Another question, does the tool "hand gun" really fit in our needs anymore in society ? Only with police and self-defense instances. Farmers don't use them. But again we can not dictate those who follow the laws. I believe the roots approach once again needs to be followed. Attack the problem at its core. Better border security, better Police enforcement, larger penalties for gun crimes. I believe the Conservatives will recognize this as well. Hopefully at least. Thats why they're quietly letting the Gun-Registration program die (what a waste of everyones time. Thats like trying to register grains of salt.) People must take responsibility for their actions, and the Police must take the responsibility of enforcing them. Yeah I’m about the same here with Tyler.

Likewise, it is possible my car might be stolen and used for the same purpose. BAN CARS! The superficiality of the General Public is really apalling. Owning guns was ok until this incident? What really changed beyond the wind direction for a few months? Should very important legislation be made as a kneejerk reaction to one or a couple rather isolated incidents? I better not get myself started, hehe, I have work to do. :) It’s possible that I could use my car to run down some pedestrian.

You cheapen human life with the comparison. Only in the USA would such idiocy make sense. And ~your~ blog comments *require* both name and e-mail for comments - does that make you just one step away from the government your paranoid conspiracy theories condemn? Idiot.
