From 940news.com:
A campaigning Prime Minister Paul Martin planned to venture into a violence-plagued area of Toronto on Thursday to announce a sweeping ban on handguns, The Canadian Press has learned.
Martin was scheduled to visit Toronto’s troubled Jane-Finch area to make a “safer communities announcement.” Liberal sources confirmed Wednesday the announcement includes a ban on handguns.
One would think that making this part of your campaign would actually turn away more voters than it would gain, although I do not live in a high gang area of Canada.
I did NOT expect to see this as part of any campaign, especially after the Liberal botching of the federal gun registry in the recent past.
