j kl Era Newmarket Aurora Keswick A is Ron Basfbrd U1 any length to gain a little j- S I I in Ottawa launched a attack on police and Most in Ottawa were even as the Incident policeman was wounded Mr Basford v bo that he could tell onlookers press and the TV public that this is just the need to get gun control Parliament a comment was a cheap shot exploit an emotionally charged deflecting public criticism of his poorly gun control package Last the murdered police officer David Kirkwood was buried on rat anniversary of the passing of the capital punishment in Canada ftfr ford of course made no mention of his governments hand In making us an abolitionist state contrary to the public wish and to the of bur police forces The minister in trouble and he knows it like its predecessor- Bill gun legislation presently before Parliament under fire from ell quarters of party has received over 3000 letters egrams opposing this bill and we have literally dozens from YorkSimcoe residents alone The gist of the opposition can be summed up as Gun control is not crime control No amount of government control over firearms can prevent the behaviour we witnessed in Ottawa last week any more than government regulation of chain saws or axes can prevent recent grizzly murders involving these instruments Whatever I twisted motivations direct snipers it is clear thai the registration or nonregistration of firearms will not alter their approach the death penalty might It Is important too to remember that the majority of murders involving firearms in do hot occur in a copsandrobbers Kojak shoot out Of the murders involving firearms in Canada in the latest year for which data is available only were committed by persons engaged in a crime Practically all the murders In which guns were used involved domestic quarrels or disputes between neighbors or Surely the mere registration of guns will not prevent these crimes of passion in which it Is estimated that more than per cent involve the excessive use of drugs or alcohol perhaps the real key to the control of violent crime Ironically too the New York City police who favor gun control but not apparently gun control legislation have found that since stringent gun registration requirements Introduced in that city a burgeoning un derground black market has developed in firearms The old adage applies everybody but the criminal falls under this legislation and un fortunately is the crime syndicates which have found a windfall business in the lucrative production and sale of illegal arms While having only marginal affect In combatting violent crime gun control program would succeed In creating a vast and expensive bureaucracy It is estimated that between civil servants would be engaged in carrying out the provisions of the governments program And in addition to subjecting some three million Canadians to yet another area of government regulation lite program is bound to be a financial drain for taxpayers In New York police have discovered that the cost of monitoring the registration of firearms has rjsen to a gun With million firearms In Canada the cost of such a program is likely to be indefensible especially in view of the marginal affect this bill will have in curbing violent crime Thirdly and most however is the fact that legislation does little to control crime itself It is a smokescreen designed to distract public attention from the fact that ft is this same Liberal administration that was responsible for the abolition of capital punishment Bather than serving up tough new laws imposing mandatory sentences for the use of firearms In crime minister has chosen instead to subject millions of lawabiding Canadians to the whims and expense of bureaucrats 1 r AURORA- It is
