RE: Guns, gangs blamed as homicides hit 10-year high.
Statistics Canada has spoken, and perhaps now the Liberal
government and its running dog lackey, the Spectator editorial department, can
end its thoughtless jihad against law-abiding gun owners.
As declared in this space, the increases gun homicides are due
to gang violence in the major cities, Toronto, Vancouver, and Montreal.
Taking guns away from Alberta rancher and Hamilton homeowners isn’t going to
change the gang problem in Vancouver.
The Stats Can report also put dimensions to the size of the
issue. Briefly, the numbers are so small that gun-violence is not at a
crisis level – demanding action! – and that so-called assault rifles are a tiny
and shrinking part of the problem, such as it is.
The smart thing the government is doing is putting more money
into intelligence gathering and border security. These gangs are
ethno-centric in origin, and they survive by preying on the ethnic community in
which they live. It won’t be easy for police to gather intelligence from
these communities. Police will almost certainly be accused of racism by
pursuing ethno-centric gangs, so expect it
Nevertheless, the process of assimilation into the wider
Canadian society will require these communities to accept policing and the
Canadian law that that policing upholds.
Meanwhile, the law-abiding can be left alone.
