As an "average liberal in Toronto" I don't piss my pants when firearms are mentioned.

I think the registration of Long-Guns is rather pointless. I do, however, believe that continuing the registration of handguns *is* important.

The real divide, as I see it, is urban vs. rural. Guns in an urban environment are not the same as guns in a rural one. The issues are entirely different. While I would welcome a ban of handguns, I recognize that it is a practical impossibility to rid the streets of handguns. I'd rather the money was spent on crime prevention (addressing root causes and all that that entails) and making the laws stronger.
