Some yes, some no. There's a clear and obvious reason for making automatic weapons prohibited.

There's arguably good reason for making sawed-off rifles and shotguns prohibited, and arguably short-barrel pistols as well.

There's no rational reason for making .25 and .32 calibre pistols prohibited.

And since this incident almost certainly involved gang-connected individuals, as does most of the gun violence in Toronto and Surrey... maybe they should be addressing the real root of the problem.

By the way, do you think Mark Saunders was lying his face off, or is just to darned dumb to read properly?
