Cowboys for Social Responsibility: Meanwhile back in Canada

Toronto Police Chief Bill Blair tells the Globe and Mail that repealing the long gun registry is making it harder for police to get guns out of the hands or people prohibited in a court of law from possessing them.

The number of guns Toronto police have seized so far this year is down significantly from the last two, a decrease that Toronto's police chief attributes partly to the demise of Canada?s long-gun registry.

Toronto seized 1,933 guns as of the end of Nov. 30, 2012, nearly 40 per cent fewer than the 3,190 the force seized in the same period in 2011. This year's total is also down from 2010, when Toronto police seized 3,416 guns.

"We've seen a fairly significant decline in the number of firearms seized by my firearms unit this year because the information that they once relied on isn't available to them," Chief Bill Blair said. "If someone was prohibited from possessing firearms and they had firearms registered to them, we would go and get them. Now we have no idea."

We know why the Tories and their NRA-influenced buddies in the gun lobby want to make it harder for police to disarm bad people.

We'll be damned if we can explain why Justin Trudeau would still rather stand with the radical gun lobby than mainstream, Main Street cops.

Sadly, we doubt that Trudeau or any of his gaggle of advisers will deign to explain why.

They've gone quiet on guns.

Just like the NRA.
