Belgium officials call for total gun ban


iconGeez, gun grabbers don't even wait for crime to be a problem any more. Now the mere quantity of guns is deemed to be problematic.

Belgium's social-liberal Spirit party has called for a total ban on the private use of firearms after new figures shows that 2 million guns are in circulation in the country.

The figure, published Wednesday, means that theoretically one in every five Belgian residents owns a gun, although only 669,273 guns are registered in the central registry.

For her part, Deputy Prime Minister and Justice Minister Laurette Onkelinx is expected to support a strengthening of federal gun control laws in the near future.

You would think that people that experience Nazi occupation first hand would know better.

Nazi occupation was 60 years ago. Who remembers it?

It's as real as the Hundred Years' War. As a story in a history book about less enlightened times, before human nature evolved into the being of lightness and goodness seen on a Star Trek episode.
