I think you are being too harsh on Canada, but I totally agree about the handgun thing.
All the recent handgun murders I can recall involved smuggled handguns from the US. If anyone here from Canada has a handgun, you know the hoops you have to jump through to own one. I can guarantee there are no criminals that own handguns legitimately. Now everyone that spent thousands to get one legally will probably have to turn it in to be destroyed. And since anyone that owns one legally will have already registered it, there is no way you can stop them from taking them, since they already know you have it.
Just another slap in the face to the law-abiding citizens in the name of "preventing crime", which does ZERO to actually get at the root of the real problems, not unlike the pathetic gun registry, which isn't even supported by any of the OPP officers I personally know.
At least I hear they are leaving it up to the provinces to decide whether or not to ban them, but we all know how that is going to turn out.
