In his seminal study of violent deaths in Canada, Langmann clearly showed that Canadian gun laws do nothing to reduce violent crime or suicide.

Why are we wasting scarce tax dollars and police resources on over-regulating the single most lawful segment of Canadian society, the lawful gun owner?

We are 1/3 as likely as a non-gun-owner and 1/2 as likely as a cop to ever be the perpetrator of illegal violence, and yet we are routinely surveilled, tracked, cross referenced, inspected, and searched.

Meanwhile people under firearm prohibition orders are not followed in any way. They don't appear on the list of gun owners when the police do a CPIC search as they roll up on an address. This was why the four Mounties in Mayerthorpe blithely walked into an ambush.

Lets work together to expend our efforts where they will do the most good. Lets treat convicted violent criminals under gun prohibition orders they way we lawful gun owners are currently, and lets stop infringing on the innocent.
