Guns are our ‘sovereign right’

Re: ‘Shootings will reignite debate over gun control’ (Sept. 14)

Wendy Cukier, head of the anti-gun lobby in Canada, opines that the
Dawson College shootings is “evidence that we can do better.” Wrong.
These latest shootings — make that every shooting since the passage of
the Firearms Act – - are 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?
