So, Mayor Miller got his way with his Executive’s Handgun Ban. At least, so says the Soldiers of Change website (and anti-handgun website). An email quoted on the site said that the bill passed by an amazing 39 (for) 3 (against).

I ‘caught’ up with some organized crime and city gang members and got their take on the situation. One of them said the following,

“It was touchy there for a short time when we heard about the mayor’s move to tackle gun crime. We had to send requests out to our illegal gun importers, across the border, to send over more guns to the city. There is less paperwork with illegal guns. They were selling like mad. Things have calmed down now that City’s Executive committee have passed their solution to gun crime. We thought they would come up with something that would actually impact our illegal gun use. You know, things like: more police, tougher gun sentences, and improved border security and detection methods. Instead, this measure makes it tougher for legal gun owners to get guns. This is great for us! The police are looking elsewhere for legal guns we hardly get access to.”

One armed bank robber joked that,

“I kept waiting for the news for the plan to go forward so I would know where to drop off my guns. After all, following Canadian Law is something I always do.”

Ok. So, the above was not a real interview. I was trying to illustrate a point.

Good job, Mr. Mayor. Toronto’s criminals and gang members are scared spitless!
