Canada Blames Gun Deaths on U.S.
Canadian officials, seeking to make sense of another fatal shooting in what has been a record year for gun-related deaths, said Tuesday that along with a host of social ills, part of the problem stemmed from what they said was the United States exporting its violence.
Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin and Toronto Mayor David Miller warned that Canada could become like the United States after gunfire erupted Monday on a busy street filled with holiday shoppers, killing a 15-year-old girl and wounding six bystanders -- the latest victims in a record surge in gun violence in Toronto.
And we should listen to These Punks because they know far more than any adults. Lord knows Gangs don't kill people, guns do.
I'd imagine my Northern friends Len at No Rite Turn and The Cannuckistan Chronicles would have some good input into this issue. Guys?
