Knives Kill In Canada, Too

Jeff Soyer again has found a gem of a story, this time in the Toronto Sun. Nearly left out of the story and found at the very bottom of the piece is this admission:

"According to Statistics Canada in 2006, the most recent year for which there are statistics, stabbing deaths outnumbered homicides involving firearms across the nation. Of 210 victims, just over one-third were killed by stabbings -- 20 more than were shot."

Hmmm . . . so while the Canadian government has maintained that if guns are regulated crime will drop, there is outrage over so-called "knife crime," because large number of teens are carrying knives . . . for protection.
