GATINEAU, Que.–The killing of an innocent fruit vendor during a gunfight on a bustling Toronto street "steeled" the resolve of NDP Leader Jack Layton to outlaw handguns.
Layton said yesterday if he's elected Prime Minister on Oct. 14 he would empower provinces, cities, and towns to impose handgun bans.
Heeding calls from Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty and Toronto Mayor David Miller to outlaw the easily concealed weapons, the Toronto Danforth MP said he has lost too many constituents to gun violence.

POLITICIANS & DIAPERS NEED TO BE CHANGED OFTEN AND FOR THE SAME REASON
A person properly schooled in right and wrong is safe with any weapon. A person with no idea of good and evil is unsafe with a knitting needle, or the cap from a ballpoint pen.
I remain pessimistic given the way BATF and the anti gun crowd have become tape worms in the guts of the Republic. - toad
