Both....but why is the argument about need? Is everything in your life an absolute need? Do you not responsibly own things just for pure enjoyment? What’s next, are they going to take all my hunting and fishing knives away because I could harm someone with them?
I’m just playing devils advocate. I don’t like to see peoples lives over regulated. - LeftCoaster
You know, you need to change your name because there isn’t an ounce of “left” in you.

What are you now the fun police? You get to decide what people can and can’t enjoy? A lot of people have high horsepower vehicles that kill people why do they need to own those vehicles? Should we take them away from them as well? - LeftCoaster
Whoa...Whoa...Whoa...don't talk sense to 'these people' man...
I’m not bothered by short range hunting rifles or shot guns, but it’s the handguns I don’t get. They are made specifically for killing people. Why does the average citizen need one? - bloatedmosquito
And this is where I do agree with the masses. Hand guns are for killing people, really that's it. 100% correct.
But it is not handguns owned by law abiding Canadian gun owners that are doing this killing. The hoops one has to go through to own one (and this is why I don't) are tough, ans constantly ongoing.
Must take training program.
Must be registered.
Must be part member of gun club. This is the ONLY place you can use it.
Must have it locked up it case and ammo locked up in a separate case at home and transport.
Must inform authorities (RCMP) of transporting it to/from range taking the most direct route.
Vetted electronically 365 days a year for criminal activity (this is for all gun owners)
And there are more rules too.
Now, once again do criminals follows this? Do all the guns coming in illegally from the States go through this procedure?
Until the government, addresses the real problems (crime, gun importation, etc) it is all false security to gather votes, based on law abiding citizens.
There is not definition of what is an Assault Style weapon though in Canadian laws. It's like banning Star Wars style laser guns, in the eyes of the law, they don't exist.

If it ain't needed for hunting, it ain't needed at all. Just my opinion. Not looking to get into a debate about it either

I can support this. I’m also a fan of low capacity magazines. Even on hand guns. Three bullets max before you have to take time to reload.
The original that started the series of good cop/bad attitude movies to follow.
Harry Callahan is a detective chasing a serial killer shooting people at random through the streets of San Francisco. There are some iconic lines in this movie, great action, but after watching it, it is dated. 1970's references throughout, expensive pants for $29.50, the mayor of San Fran can't come up with $100,000 for a ransom??? Those were the days.
A Movie Quote: Yeah, well, when an adult male is chasing a female with intent to commit rape, I shoot the bastard; that's my policy. When a naked man is chasing a woman through an alley with a butcher knife and a hard-on, I figure he isn't out collecting for the Red Cross.

Yep, If you can't drop an animal cleanly with 3 shots... practice is needed.
