Michael Bryant - The ‘Don Cherry of anti-gun’
Saturday, August 4th, 2007From today’s Star interview with Orillia sporting goods store owner Wes Winkel:
Gun enthusiasts say Bryant’s argument is little more than a cop-out.
“You’re not able to actually get the criminals, so you say we have to stop the legal people from owning them,” Winkel said.
With the Oct. 10 provincial election quickly approaching, Winkel expects to hear a lot more about handgun bans but doesn’t think it will go further than talk.
“With the risk of sounding a little arrogant, Mr. Michael Bryant has been spouting off for years and I’ve learned not to take him too seriously.
“He talks without thinking. I call him the Don Cherry of anti-gun.
Darn! I wish I had thought of that. Although it does Mr. Cherry a grave disservice.

It would seem that guns are no longer politically-correct.
Update - University gun club appeals closure.
But get this!!
On Monday, Rob Steiner, an assistant vice-president of the university, said the closure “is really a values issue. This is not a safety issue, as strictly defined. If there had been a safety issue, it would have been shut down right away.”
Oh, I love the irony! The left is trying to teach us ‘values’!!! Oh, o.k. I get it. If it’s their values that’s fine, as long as anyone on the right doesn’t push values they don’t like. Uh-huh.

Nicol has a great post on this topic - Is Michael Bryant lying about gun stats?
This is awesome:
…Toronto it seems will be willing to have a lot more shootings before it can deal with this issue. Whether it is taxes, guns or gangs, Torontonians seem unwilling to accept any other solution other than the most facile of left wing pronouncments. Then they complain, elect another socialist politician and rinse, wash, repeat…
