There's been a recent rash of handgun and gang related murders in Toronto, prompting the mayor to speak out on gun control.
A strong supporter of Paul Martin's proposed virtual ban on handguns, Miller said he believes Jack Layton's NDP platform does include gun-control measures, but Conservative Leader Stephen Harper's does not.I find it interesting that candidates supporting a ban on handguns in Canada, actually get support for their views. A similar view for an American politician would almost guarantee defeat. I remember the scene where John Kerry was shown with shotguns carrying a bagged bird, as if to tell the gun owners that "he was one of them." It didn't work. As the gun lobby is fond of saying, "Guns don't kill people, people kill people." However, a gun is specifically made to kill or injure.
