What's particularly galling about liberal governments lumping milsurps into firearms bans is how seldom they are used in crimes. I can only speak about Canadaand the U.S. because those are the two countries I'm most familiar with but as far as I recollect there have only been two murders committed in the U.S. with milsurp rifles and none in Canada. Everyone remembers that JFK was shot with a Carcano Model 38, fewer might remember that Civil Rights activist Medgar Evers was shot with a M1917 Enfield Rifle
. When you consider the millions of military surplus rifles sold into the civilian market yet the odds of being shot by one are virtually nil. They simply aren't the weapon of choice. In countries where firearms have been banned the knife is now the weapon of choice. Seldom does a week go by when there isn't another knifing in Great Britain
or Israel reported so using Lib-Think a bayonet, K-Bar, and ceremonial sword ban is soon to follow.
