Canadian Media Reporting Facts

While we like to point out when the American mainstream media gets the facts right, or shows less biased reporting on the issue of firearms, and gun control. So for that reason, we’ll also note reporting this week from The Vancouver Sun, which took aim at the debate raging in Canada over long guns:

“More than 80 per cent of British Columbians believe that gun crime is at least a moderately serious problem, but only eight per cent believe that Canada’s $1 billion long-gun registry has been effective at preventing crime, according to a survey conducted by pollsters Angus Reid.”

Interesting numbers, not the least of which suggest that Canada isn’t exactly the crime free land that Michael Moore made it seem. To many in the American media, Canada is a carefree land with no crime. Yet, here we see that the citizens note that crime is a problem, and rifles are not really part of the problem!
