Just got around to reading a newspaper a few days old and saw that two young men were caught with stolen goods a few streets over from a home invasion here in Moncton, NB, Canada. Seems they couldn't break into the second victim's house, so they rang the doorbell. The cops were searching around the first victims' house, an ellderly couple, when a call came in from another elderly person about the doorbell ringing. Yeah, gun laws me arse. People, especially the elderly, aren't safe in their own homes anymore, BECAUSE of the new gun laws. I am not against gun laws, just against poorly thought out and poorly written gun laws.

Of course, I'm not referring to handguns or machine pistols or light machine guns. These have been restricted from public carry and to ownership by permit only since the thirties in Canada. And I support compulsory education and permits to own long guns. But the way these laws are written gives the criminals something they should never have... an edge over law abiding citizens. Imagine a law that punishes me more than a crook if the SOB breaks into my house and steals a gun and commits a crime with it.

If the laws were reasonable and logical there wouldn't be so many gun owners opposed to legislation. Unfortunately, the anti-gun crowd is neither reasonable or logical. I hope the NRA never gives up the fight and doesn't back down one inch... not one inch. We did here in Canada and now we have laws that create crime and treat law abiding citizens like criminals.
