Author and economist John Lott, Jr.'s extensive research shows that gun bans don't work. In many cases, the crime rate goes up after the ban comes into effect.
He explains why, and talks specifically about the proposed gun ban being touted by the mayor of Hamilton, Ontario.
PS: Did you know Pierre Trudeau applied for a "concealed carry" permit after he left office? Lott has the story.

“Canadian gun owners are slowly digging our own graves with our timid, apologetic approach to gun rights.” John Orth
…and act on it!
Your rights are like your muscles or your brain…use it or lose it!
This is not a problem just in cities but all over Ontario. It is an extension of the misuse of justice and policing resources to enforce violations of the law on behalf of organized crime. Disarming the law-abiding just complements that misuse of resources to oppress innocents in favour of what is, essentially, terrorist crime.
Someone needs to root out the corruption in our system that allows the misuse of police and Crown resources to protect the wealthy and powerful who draw much higher than average interest from their investments in organized crime that includes drug, arms and child sex slave trafficking.
Hamilton and, sorry Jason Weaver, also Beamsville and St. Catharines have long been controlled by organized crime. The corruption is province- and, I dare say, country- and likely even world-wide.
I’d carry if I could. As it is, if someone breaks into my home and I hit him on the head with my heavy flashlight, I’m likely to be criminally charged and forced to pay damages to the person who broke in.
I’d like the criminals forced to think twice that if they violate my rights under legislation that they just might be found at fault and forced to pay me instead of the way it is now.
And Vlad, I live in one of the cities you mentioned. I don’t want the Hamilton backwash, lol!
You cannot effectively counter an emotional issue with facts and stats. You are using the wrong tool. Try an emotional delivery of the facts.
It’s a city – store your guns in Beamsville, or St. Catharines or somewhere else.
Mayor Fred Eisenberger, Mayor of Hamilton, is one helluva stupid fk.
But then again we “gun control” and Bans are not focused at reducing crime or hindering criminals. So called “gun control” as envisioned by the Fabian elites who pimp this nonsense, is just camouflage for total civil disempowerment to make large populations easy to control under martial conditions.
As for this doofus mayor in Hamilton, the gun ban and all the anti-gun diaper-wetting is just a smoke screen to hide the fact he and his police force are utterly inept at controlling or diffusing the criminal element. Gun bans are a finger pointing exercise for cynical polticos.
