When will people smarten up?

Wendy Cukier, head of the anti-gun lobby in Canada, opines that the
Dawson College shootings are “evidence that we can do better”.

Wrong. These latest shootings – make that every shooting since the
passage of the Firearms Act – is evidence of the complete and utter
failure and futility of all such so-called “gun control” laws.

If Kimveer Gill obtained his firearms legally, it is evidence that such
laws don’t work; if he obtained them illegally, it is evidence that such
laws don’t work.

“Gun control” isn’t “crime control”: such laws only affect
those who are
inclined to obey the laws in the first place – exactly the wrong group
of people to be targeting!

If only one student or teacher had been legally able to carry a firearm
on their person for their defence – as is their sovereign right – then
Gill could have been stopped before he even started.

When will people smarten up and realize that “gun control” doesn’t
work?
