Guns should be banned in general.  I mean please, how many people are actually saved by having a gun, does anyone know that stat?  There is no reason to have them and there are too many mishaps.  I would absolutely support a ban, no question. 
John Dibble or David S would know.

But as I always say, you'll only 'confiscate' my guns when you take them from my cold, dead body.

Mr. Heston? Is that you?

But seriously, I vote no. I'm not into guns at all, but I am into freedom. I'm not going to pick and choose which freedoms to allow based on my own personal preferences.

So I assume you support a person's freedom to commit murder.  Guns are a serious threat to human life and should be treated as such.  Smoking tobacco in public should also be banned.

You'd make a great Soviet.

Canada has a much lower population then the US to begin with, Gabu.

He's referring to murder rate per capita, which takes into consideration the population difference.

Ah, ok, wasn't sure, thanks.

You really must be ignorant.

Sometime look at the murder rate among the various racial groups in the United States, then use the racial percentages of Canada.  If the United States had the same racial percentages as Canada, we would have a murder rate of about the same (look at the murder rates in the Dakotas for example)

Are you saying that Hispanics inherently are more violent, or that immigrants in general tend to be more violent?

Illegal immigrants definately do drive up the crime rate.
