Gun laws are aimed at wrong target, says expert

By Alun Rees and John Steele

Britain's gun laws are aimed at the wrong target, curbing and criminalising legal ownership while failing to tackle huge rises in shooting offences over the past few years, according to an international
firearms legislation expert.

Prof Gary Mauser said that Britain was making the same mistake as Canada and Australia in focusing on legal owners - a section of the law-abiding community where
gun crimes, such as the Dunblane massacre, were aberrations.

The Home Office and police chiefs should instead tackle the possession of guns in criminal hands, said Prof Mauser, a member of the independent Fraser
Institute in Canada. He has given evidence to select committees of the House of Commons and the Canadian Senate and predicted the escalation of gun crime on
Britain's streets.

His warning comes as gun crime incidents are averaging about 29 a day in England and Wales, more than twice the level of when the Labour Government came to power
in 1997. In the past two years, there have been cases of schoolchildren and a baby, killed or injured by guns.

Commentary:
John Kerry has the endorsement from people who want to take the United States down the same road as these countries have gone. He has voted for such laws every chance he got.

Michael Moore says Americans are stupid. Is he talking about you? Last week, trailing in the polls, John Kerry told Americans to "wake up". Was he talking to you?

John Kerry has given gun owners 20 years of reasons not to vote for him. Don't prove Michael Moore right about Americans. Take Kerry's advice, gun owners - "wake up" and Vote Freedom First!
