I thought we had gun control in this country. People are firing their guns in the city. Is that not illegal? They are carrying loaded guns in their cars, that must be illegal. Criminals should know and obey the gun laws. Law abiding people do.

That's like saying people shouldn't text and drive. There's always going to be bad apples that don't obey the law. We will never live in a perfect world. That's why there's laws to punish those who do not obey.

It might seem like a silly comparison, but I would bet you'd be much more likely to be injured or killed in Brandon by someone texting and driving than by a gun.

"Criminals should know and obey the gun laws". Have you not noticed that criminals don't give a darn about rules and laws.

While very concerned about shootings in town, that does seem to be a bit of an oxymoron saying criminals and obey the law in the same sentence.

ever noticed that a sense of humor or sarcasm is a dying thing on e Brandon and many other online resources. some of us think the op might of been joking with the criminals following gun Laws. we all know the laws are there to try and control normal law abiding citizens, and maybe help introduce a few hidden agendas governments need to force on people to take control of our lives.  
Big hint the current goings on in the U.S.A elections at the moment.

Didn't Harper get rid of the long gun registry? There is still a registry for hand guns I thought. I haven't heard too many criminals running around with long rifles. Plus if a rural person gets broken into and their long guns stolen most criminals are never found yet the farmer gets charged for not properly storing their guns.

have a PAL...  
Over 2 Million Canadians already have firearms licenses. Roughly 1 in 15 of the Canadians old enough to qualify for a firearms license have already gotten one.

Yes criminals don't obey the law, but if there where no laws then you couldn't arrest them, so we should have no gun laws? great cant wait to park outside your house with my shiny new machine gun maybe fire off a few mags, will there still be noise bylaws well Ill do it before 11pm can't wait freedom at last

Surely you jest? If not I'm absolutely speechless at your absurdity and ridiculousness

If criminals respected the laws, they wouldn't be criminals in the first place.

You still have to register restricted firearms.  
 
I have to get an ATT before I commit a crime with one of my handguns.

Some correct points here, some not.  
 
Harper did get rid of the long gun registry, so long guns such as shot guns, hunting rifles etc (the non-restricted ones) do not need to be registered once you buy them. You walk in, show your proper license, pay for it and walk out.  
 
The restricted guns are still registered, and you must wait a period of time after you purchase one before you can take it home. Anyone who has a restricted PAL has a daily criminal check done, so if you get charged with something like robbery, or assault,you can bet the police will keep you on your radar and may even pay you a visit to check on your restricted guns to ensure they are stored properly. These guns can only be taken to and from a certified range to use.  
 
So, all these issues that are arising are the results of criminals not following laws. Someone then thinks we need change and changes the laws. What does this do? Hurts law abiding citizens.

I'm pretty sure that's why they are the criminals, because they don't abide by the law...
