Another thing - reducing gun ownership will certainly lead to fewer
gun-involved crimes, but may not lead to fewer crimes overall. Like my
oft-cited US/Canada suicide statistics, access to guns shapes the manner of
suicide, not necessarily the rates of suicides.

Anyway, my mother and father worked overseas in Newfoundland for two years and
my mother loves to tell the story of the convenience store that was robbed by
a man with 'a big stick'.

Crime finds a way.
