I am not a gun owner but I am concearned the constant calls to tighten the already stringent existing gun laws .The insistence that this would reduce gun crime is incorrect as levels of gun ownership do not reflect gun related crime .Canada has a high level of gun ownership but a level of gun crime similar to Australia. Mental health is the main issue affecting violent crime improved access to mental health would have a benifcial effect on reducing violent crime, domestic violence, drug addiction , bullying, child abuse and the list goes on. The main stream media is dominated university types suggesting more laws and regulations reducing freedom and having little effect on the issue. As a people we need to grow up and put pressure on politicians to make positive steps to make this great country greater educate not legislate. .
