I would like for them to provide 30 years of crime statistics of every type of gun that they plan to ban, or statistics going back to when the gun model was first manufactured if its a design younger than 30. I think #'s like those would show what a non-issue they are in the hands of lawful owners. Numbers like this might even be understood by the unwashed masses who don't know about firearms, as opposed to those who are intentionally mis-educated on the matter who simply run on their compulsive hatred of them.

Statistics should be broken into a number of categories but all would fall under whether the user was licensed or not (two columns from there down).

Next statistic to bear in a separate category is to either totally exclude or at least record in its own column where the firearm was only used in a suicide (ie: a murder/suicide would fall in the murder category).

Next subcategories are by firearm model. Why ban something that's virtually never been a problem in Canada to be owned by people who have never been problems? A statistical anomaly such as a single illegal use should not prove a valid reason to ban anything.

I would really like to see those statistics, but they will never release the data, as it will show there is no issue with most guns

They do not have data that comprehensive. Even the data they do have is extremely bad.

I would imagine the NFA has something in the works, and they will be all over Fecebook soon to be sure.

They’re not providing a list so there isn’t a big stock up before they ban them. Talking about military style semi auto rifles and then handguns are next.

Not even Mr Blair... at least not one he's willing to share.

And his reason is even more hilarious. Doesn't want to cause a "panic buy".

Anytime I hear this idiot Turdeau on the radio or his face shows up anywhere, I get nauseous....When his mouth moves, he is either lying or screwing us.
