So do you think our Canadian regulations keep thieves and robbers from carrying handguns? Would it have been better if the thieves had used an SKS or a shotgun?
Once again, do you think that our Canadian regulations would prevent someone that is going to hold up a family, and threaten to rape people, from using a handgun to commit such a crime? Would it have mattered if it was a shotgun that was shoved into his mouth?
Yet again, do you believe that people that would commit such an act would care about our Canadian firearms regulations? Would it have mattered if they had used short barreled shotguns?
You are trying to make it sound like handguns are the root of all evil, when in fact, there are far more dangerous weapons that Canadians can legally carry around.

I think his point is if some one is walking down the street carrying a shot gun or long rifle in Canada it would draw attention very quickly. A side arm would not draw attention so more than likely the bad guy is less likely to risk such action or at least here you would hope.
