[QUOTE="DS, post: 228151, member: 556"] over9,you do make some good points,but some of those facts are misleading.I took the time to research and tried to find a US city that was similar to Toronto in population.Chicago is just slightly higher. Toronto has around 2,500,000 people,Chicago,2,850,000. In 2006 there were 78 gun related deaths compared to Chicago`s 225.Maybe the difference is the retaliation factor,I`m not sure,and from what I read Chicago has a clemency policy that includes $100 for every gun turned in to the police. You were right that only a small percentage of guns are smuggled in. Most crimes are committed with guns stolen from collectors. Your argument that if everyone had a gun to protect themself may work great in suburbia,but in big cities,it seems like whoever is the faster draw wins. My dislike for guns started at an early age when my cousin took me out to shoot ground hogs.I did manage to shoot one,and I cried myself to sleep that night ,its comparable to hitting a dog with your car only doing it on purpose. OK I`ll shut up now. [/QUOTE]
