i don't really expect that banning guns is going to have much of an effect on the prevalence of violent crime. as is often the case, the issue in nova scotia appears to have been about patriarchy, rather than about guns. so, it doesn't really get to the root causes.

but, i don't have any particular opposition to banning guns, either.

so, i mean, do this if you want - i don't really care. but, if we're standing here in five years and still dealing with exactly the same problems, don't say nobody told you that it wouldn't make any difference.
