According to Firearm Chronicles
Justin Trudeau’s recent ban on thousands of makes and models of commonly owned firearms doesn’t go far enough for gun control advocates in Canada, who are now pushing for a nationwide ban on handguns as well. At the CBC website, pundit Tony Keene claims there’s no reason whatsoever for any Canadian to own a handgun, and argues it’s time to ban most firearms and lock up anyone who dares not comply.
The more guns in society, the more gun deaths. Legal guns have a way of being stolen and becoming illegal. And even a law-abiding gun owner can cross over to the dark side under stress, delusion and paranoia.
People who rave about owning these devices of death are often referred to as “gun enthusiasts.” This makes about as much sense as “poison gas enthusiasts” or “land mine enthusiasts.” Collecting and slavering over devices which are primarily designed to kill people is not normal.
Personally, I think it’s much more abnormal to want to put tens of thousands of your countrymen in prison for maintaining possession of the firearms that they already own, but maybe that’s just me. In Keene’s world, firearms collectors can’t be enthralled by the craftsmanship or the history that goes along with a particular firearm. No, they must be bloodthirsty monsters who deserve the scorn of their fellow Canadians, and who would be better off locked up in a jail cell.
