Olivia Chow vows that only criminals will own handguns in Toronto

Or words to that effect, since we all know perfectly well that although the mayor of Toronto may be able to confiscate guns from law-abiding citizens, she is never going to prevent criminals obtaining them:

Olivia Chow came out Monday pledging to support a handgun ban if she’s elected mayor.

“There is no reason why anyone needs a handgun in a big city like ours,” Chow said.

“We need better gun control. We have a mayor that for the last four years justified the use of guns, he opposed the long gun registry. What I want to do is work with big city mayors to tighten control so there is no illegal guns coming from the States.”
