A tourist driving in Alberta west of Calgary was shot in the head by someone who didn’t seem to like the man’s driving....   

I think it may be a watershed moment when we, as a country, do something fairly drastic about handguns.  It may be time for them to go. 

So do you think it was someone with a legal handgun who obtained the necessary permit to transport it, or someone who didn't give a **** about the current law? If the latter, why would you imagine he would give a **** about a future law?

The idea we can keep hand guns out of the clutches of criminals by banning them is moronic while we've got a three thousand miles border with the US and millions of back and forth visits every year. That's to say nothing of the free smuggling areas which are native reserves that straddle the border. The only way to reduce the number of illegal handguns in people's hands is harsh laws against illegal sales, smuggling and possession, and the Canadian legal community is adamantly opposed to any harsh punishments for anything whatsoever.
