Okay, but 2013 is a statistical low outlier and compares favourably to any year in the last half century. Is it really a good baseline for comparisons against which major decisions are to be made?Jarnhamar said:... offences involving firearms have become more prevalent, especially since 2013.
Kat Stevens said:I would think the NFA would be a front runner, not overly rabid and quite level headed from the interactions I've had with them.

National Firearms Association ignoring questions about C-51, members complain
The National Firearms Association is deleting questions posted to its Facebook page about why it pulled out of a committee looking at the government's proposed anti-terrorism legislation, and some members are complaining.
On Monday a lawyer for the gun owners' group had been scheduled to appear on a panel regarding concerns about Bill C-51.
Legal experts have raised a number of concerns about the bill's scope, the lack of oversight, and possible threats to privacy regarding clauses to allow information-sharing between government departments.
The tensions may be exacerbated because of a lawsuit among leaders within the organization.
Earlier this month, several members of the group's executive filed a claim in Alberta's Court of Queen's Bench seeking access to the organization's records, among other remedies.
Five of the National Firearms Association directors claim the group hasn't provided audited financial records to its members since 2010 and isn't keeping minutes of its meetings. They also say Clare has made "unfounded" statements about two of them.

This idea has been repeated a few times in this site. But, assuming it is true, it would suggest to me that patchwork firearms regulations do not work where there is freedom of movement and no border controls. If a city has more restrictive laws than the state, then criminals have legal access just outside the city. If a state has more restrictive laws than neighboring states, then criminals have easy access just a few hours (or less) down the highway. But if the nation has more restrictive laws than its neighbors, there is border control and the possibility of searches that cut the easy supply.recceguy said:Chicago has the toughest gun laws in the States. They have a gun murder rate that outstrips countries and small wars. The majority of murders are not committed with legal firearms.
