LOL!
Thanks for chiming in. I never knew that BC was like that, and it's nice to know some of the details. I've always liked BC, and thought about moving there, a few years back, until I came across the unemployment figures.
You gotta love the RCMP for keeping a low profile
You also bring up a good point: a lot of homicides happen within criminal groups. there's another statistical search right there! I guess I'd hate to see them use bigger guns, and end up on the receiving end of a stray bullet, as a result. In that light, I'd favor a ban on fully-automatics.
IMO, there's a correlation between unemployment, and homicide rates. Give everyone something to do, and they'll probably avoid shooting each other. Leading a life of crime imposes no limits on the level of violence. Maybe the ban ought to be on gangs, not guns!
