On the topic of guns, members of the gunblogosphere are quite upset with Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin who is running for re-election on a platform of leveraging Canada's current firearms registration laws into a full blown handgun prohibition complete with confiscations.
Gun controllers like to pretend than registration and confiscation are unlinked or linked only by a specious unproven slippery-slope argument. It not just a lie, it is a damn lie. England, Australia, and Canada have all passed registration laws. England and Australia both have passed handgun bans. Now one is proposed in Canada. For something in our own country, look at the results of gun registration efforts in US cities and how they have led to gun bans in places like San Francisco, Chicago, and DC.
This is not a fallacious slippery slope. This is real life and it is happening again.
