Well, the Canadians make the numbers up.

Are we to believe the Jamaican killers love America so much they ONLY use US-MADE guns, and that no one has been killed with, oh let's see, Brazilian, Czeck, Swiss, Austrian, etc. guns???

Damn Americans are to blame again, and not anyone else, eh?

Yah, I am sure those Jamaicans will hop right over Cuba to get guns in the US when they can probably buy AK's from Fidel for $10 each. Or maybe the open weapons markets of Columbia and Central America, all of which are closer to them in travel distance, since they need to swing around Cuba to get here.

This is just an example of the market always winning. In this case, both ways. Small pieces of hand held machinery get into an island nation regardless of a ban, and small packages of an herb get out of an island nation, regardless of a ban.

Drug-war, gun-war, all the same thing.

Here's a site dedicated to the UN's attempt to disarm the world: http://www.iansasucks.com/
(hint, as you can tell by the name, they're not in favor of it).

The gentleman who's behind it is also behind the very successful http://www.missouricarry.com site and forums where many of the pro-gun types in Missouri hang out.

I am wondering if it really is a semi-organized push. Maybe the VPC is trying for a different direction in order to leverage the issue in their favor. I must admit that the tactic of saying we should increase gun control because our guns are getting into other countries is somewhat weak, IMHO. I mean, we get guns from overseas, as well. Besides the domestic stuff, I have guns from Yugoslavia, Russia, and even China. It is also easy to point out that gang violence is responsible for an overwhelming portion of gun violence, with drug related killings taking up much of the remainder. I would really like to see what the statitistics are for the number of homicides minus justifiable circumstances, lawful intervention, minus gangs and minus drug related. The reason why these homicides should be discounted is because they are instances where the "victim" was a goblin.
