Canadian stats belie 'flood of guns' from US

As Canadian politicians express alarm about a rising tide of guns smuggled from the United States, statistics obtained by The Globe and Mail show that federal border guards are seizing fewer firearms and Toronto police are pulling no more guns off the streets than they ordinarily do.

The Canada Border Services Agency says it has intercepted 318 guns so far in 2005, below the more than 1,000 seized guns that border guards have averaged annually during the past five years, and far fewer than the 1,500 seized annually in the 1990s.

And while Toronto Police Service Chief Bill Blair was widely quoted last week as saying his officers have seized more than 2,000 guns so far in 2005, civilians in his statistics department say the chief inadvertently "misspoke." Their official tally is only 1,151, consistent with the pace of seizures in recent years.

Lefties just can't NOT lie.

SEEEEE!! I told you they were going to get those guns, so the Canucks might as well just make guns legal. In fact, we ought to send them nice, clean, jam-free guns that have a good aim so when the Canadian criminals shoot a hapless Canadian citizen or a cop, that person won't suffer too long.
Hey, as long as they're going to do it, might as well strip all your anti-gun laws off the books, right?

Well, that argument worked for condoms and "safe sex." Why have a stroke when we apply the same logic to guns?

Jag, are you saying you support gun control? :question:

DF, I'm doing what Rush does. Demonstrating absurdity by being absurd.

Remember when the libs said that kids were nothing but a bunch of sex-crazed animals, totally incapable of abstinence of any kind, so we might as well throw condoms at them and teach them how to do it safely so they don't get diseases or pregnant?

Well, as far as I know, handguns are totally illegal in Canada (Someone from Canada might want to correct me on this if I'm wrong). Well, apparently it looks like Canadians are totally incapable of controlling themselves. They just want to grab a gun and shoot somebody. (Stay with me; I'm being sarcastic). So as long as they're gonna do it, we might as well supply them with clean, straight-shooting guns.

Strange how many libs have a stroke every time I throw that line of logic at them concerning guns instead of teenage sex.
