Even Canadian Police are speaking out against gun control, but that still doesn't deter the gun grabbers.
"Our position on this is very firm. We do not support it, and we will be fighting against it. The police and the public are still at risk. . . . Despite the money spent, it should be scrapped." -- Al Koenig, president of the Calgary Police Association, speaking out against the $1 Billion Canadian gun registry. Koenig thinks the resources would have been better spent on law enforcement."Any control on guns can help. I know people say guns don't kill people, people kill people. But a gun does kill someone. . . . Fortunately, our culture is not a gun culture like the Americans. Our culture is peaceful. Even if you trace one criminal because of the registry, it's worth it." -- Mahfooz Kanwar, a criminologist and sociologist with Mount Royal College, speaking out in favor of gun control. Kanwar thinks $1 Billion is better spent on unproven gun control than proven methods like increased police presence and enforcement of existing criminal statutes.
Actually, what he said was $1BB per criminal is an acceptable cost for law enforcement.
I guess that is, what, $1.63 American? He may be on to something.
