[QUOTE=welsh;1065619]Except that most people who do crimes don't use guns, and probably never have guns.
About 10% (3.8 million) of Canadians have criminal records. Most people who have criminal records have records for minor crimes.
Not where I worked the criminal records were several pages long and full of heavy duty crimes.Even so called "minor crimes" like drug addicts breaking into vehicles,I have seen records exceeding 100 theft and possession convictions.It might seem minor but imagine the number of vehicles broken into and insurance claims and bother faced by the victims.You park in a downtown lot,your window gets punted in and away goes your lap top with all your business in it.I took a repeat offender around one night to 10 parking lots where he has broke into 72 vehicles over the course of a month.
Little bit off topic but here are no minor crimes if your the victim.
