To Justin Trudeau, the problem you are having with certain firearms and your attempt to solve it has finally come to light.
Suddenly, it becomes obvious that there are as many guns in the hands of criminals as ever, and restricting and seizing guns will solve nothing.
Not only that, but the occurrence of killing and injuring has greatly increased through the use of knives! Does this mean we should now ban the carrying of certain types of knives? If we do that, are sharp sticks and heavy clubs next? How about banning clenched fists?
The problem is, and always has been, the person and not the weapon. I think it all boils down to there being too many humans living too close together. We don't get along at the best of times, and forced living in less and less space will certainly lead to more violence and harm.
That's the problem, and so far, there is no solution.
