Looks like Canada's gun registering system works and saves lives.
And we don't let people buy assault weapons like they do in the states.
I guess it was a long day yesterday but I forgot to mention that California has perhaps the strictest gun laws in the U.S.. There are no Assault weapons sold here in Cali and ALL weapons anywhere in the U.S. are registered and a background check is performed prior to purchase throught the FBI and Justice Dept. This process is conducted regardless of whether it is a sporting rifle or a handgun that's being purchased. All weapons are registered (or, supposed to be). The criminals don't use these channels though.

I think its Rap Music that makes young people violent and use guns. They all wanna be gangstahs, yo biotch.
Yeah, it's REALLY pleasant to get away from all that 'cause I hate it so. I like a lot of the music but strongly dislike the associated culture.
I really don't see it there in Vancouver except for in the folks that live in Surrey or the odd sideways-hat-wearing person that I see in a club there that's obviously visiting from the U.S.
Unfortunately this difference in values (and murder rates) between the two countries pre-dates Rap (> 20 years. Man, I could have sworn Rap was going to be a short lived trend).
