Why this blog?
Until this moment
I have been forced
to listen while media
and politicians alike
have told me
"what Canadians think".
In all that time they
never once asked.
This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio - "You don't speak for me."

Just.ban.them
Yeah Wendy, that should work.
Sell them to the Meixcan Drug Lords.
Register them! Works up here. /sarc
Pardoxically, the best way to get "guns off the streets" is to have EVERYONE on the streets packing heat.
Buy 'em back, use either cocaine or heroin vouchers to be redeemed at a later date. They have no money to buy 'em with,so these vouchers may be just the ticket.
Or they could hire Wendy Cukier and Heidi Rathjen to tell 'em how to fix the gun problem.
Free Obama PS3's loaded with Grand Theft Auto-The Windy City.
Issue every woman in Chicago over 18 years old with a .38 snubbie. Problem solved.
Why? Don't they work properly?
Real leaders always ask their followers what to do.
Is the City of Chicago admitting they have no idea of how to deal with the problem?
Ask Mayor Rahm, he really knows his stuff when he dances.
Who needs 140 characters? I can do it in 12:
Legalize it.
Concealed carry.
OK, that was 16 characters.
Chicago has the dubious distinction of having the most detailed stats on homicides of any US city and those stats were part of the reason that Dr. Lott went from a "ban guns" stance to supporting widespread concealed carry.
Haven't looked at the stats in a few years, but about 15 years ago played around with this database and, curiously enough, 80+% of the homicides seemed to involve young black males shooting usually other black males but also other people. Also, the vast majority of Chicago homicides occurred in a few tiny (in comparison to the total metropolitan area) sections of the city.
Just another side effect from the US tolerating black single mothers being paid to have have multiple children by different itinerant fathers. Of course, one can never go after the real problem as that is so politically incorrect and so one goes after a symbol.
But then look at the bright side; think of the experience gained by ER residents in dealing with trauma as they spend a year or so in a Chicago ER.

137 characters to spare.
Moar basketball courts!
Gee, it's so simple!
Bring The Saviour back home from Washington!
Nuke it from orbit.
Just to be sure.
Only allow the mob guns
Pull a Toronto solution and just ban the sale of bullets in Chicago. I'm sure the politicians in Chicago are just as smart as the ones in Hogtown. (s'cuse me , wiping tears of laughter...)
But seriously, from what I have seen so far the murder rate is primarily between gang bangers in the black community and should be encouraged if at all possible. Just let Eric Holder handle this under the fast and furious portfolio. He's the Alan Rock of the USA and master of solutions.
Give gang-bangers marksmanship training and free ammo, and an automatic pardon if any person they kill is a criminal. However if they kill an innocent bystander they get their trigger finger amputated.
Curious@ 9:55 please give me a couple hours notice to get the he!! out of Mordor first. CCW in Mordor? Lol, never. going. to. happen. in. Mordor.
