Wow, I so sorry, I'm just not as smart as you, oh woe is me. You know, theres a reason why its called the common sense approach, because what we're currently doing, isn't working.

And the Canadian Justice system with soft sentences, easy parole, and hand cuffing the police from doing their jobs is such a radical improvement isn't it?

How many gun murders are committed by people who have properly registered fire arms? How many are committed by people that are buying these weapons off of the street and off of criminal gangs out to make a quick buck. Its not the gun industry thats killing these people, its the scumbags who are out to make a quick buck at the expense of human misery. Please show me how many gun crimes are committed by weapons coming off of U.S. production lines, Asian production lines, former eastern block construction lines? The free and easy access to guns is not being provided through legitimate sources, but through criminal sources.

What the frick does range have to do with anything? If you stab someone in a fight, your escape plan is just as good, if you get the drop on someone with a bat, your escape plan is pretty good. You know that most pistol based crimes are committed within three meters of the victim right, this isn't the movie where the killer stands 100 yards away with a .38 special and actually manages to hit his target with a fatal wound.

People have to have the intent and pull the trigger in order for a gun to kill people. People who have the intent actually have to go out and buy a gun to pull the trigger. And in the same tone, spare me your smart ass comments, you don't know what I listen to radio wise, you don't know if I've actually read books on crime, or actually sat down and talked to police officers about their frustrations with the criminal judgement system. All your doing is taking your view and trying to cram it down my throat with a lot of bluster.
