Pro Gun article in a Canadian newspaper!

When the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Washington's ban on handguns, our beloved mayor warned this would add to gun violence in Toronto. The mayor is out to lunch -- fear mongering. Again. Under Mayor David Miller's prodding, city council recently voted 31-9 to ban gun clubs in Toronto, hopefully en route to making Toronto a gun-free city.

In reality, overturning Washington's ban on handguns may even make that city safer, and other cities in the U.S. safer. We don't like to consider that possibility, because it goes against the grain of our precious Canadian prejudices.

The law banning handguns in Washington homes came into effect in 1977 -- a year in which there were 192 murders. By 1989, and for the next six years, Washington had the reputation of being "Murder Capital of the U.S." with over 400 murders per year, peaking in 1991 with 482 murders.
