PETA and freedom for hunters

Hi!

I live in Ontario. I suppose you heard that our current, hopefully soon to be past, prime minister would like to ban handguns to help stem the crime parade in urban centers??? Well, let's just attack the people that have their guns registered, permits in place, usually use handguns to target shoot. Isn't that the easiest thing to do? The criminlas use illegal guns, brought into the country from elsewhere and could care less about registering their guns. This is another attack on the freedoms we have in our countries. Guns are banned in England and Australia. Both saw radical increases in crime after the bans went into effect. Keep up the lobby in the US about hunting freedoms. We have to lobby hard here in Canada right now and hopefully the election will support that lobbying! Keep our heritage rights to hunt and fish and run our dogs.
