I can't be the only one that feels this way, or some derivative of what I'm saying...because if I were the only one handguns probably wouldn't be restricted as it is.

You are right, there are many fear mongers out there ,that are afraid that the number of shootings would suddenly sky rocket, and there would be a trail of corpses if the restrictions on handguns were eased in any way. That fear mongering is how the government got such restrictive laws passed in the first place. That is the kind of thinking that resulted in the long gun registry coming to being. However some of choose not to let those unfounded fears rule our lives. We wrote letters, and sent e-mails to our MPs, and told them what a useless waste of money the long gun registry was, and as a result, it is on the way out. Now we are looking at more reforms for our archaic firearms laws, and even if some paranoid firearms owners oppose our efforts, we are still going to try to get some of those laws changed.
