Guns

Every now and then talk of the Gun registry surfaces. People say it doesn't work and cite the ease with which crooks go to the USA to get guns.

But doesn't that make it good that it's not convenient for them to get the guns in Canada to use for crime? Personally I find it quite reassuring that the villains have to take the risks associated with crossing the border for guns; doesn't that increase the chances of getting caught even before a worse crime is committed?

Why do so many non villains want so many guns anyway? A guy on the radio phone in today has eight. Why???
