Long knives are out concerning slain mounties in Alta.

Gun laws, registry, or whatever, criminals will still kill people.

Down in Atlanta, Georgia, an accused first degree rapist, waiting just inside the courthouse lockup to attend his trial, overpowered the female deputy that was taking her cuffs off, took her gun from her, and shot her in the head. She is listed in critical condition. He then proceeded to kill the judge that was presiding over his case along with a deputy in the courtroom. After that, I believe he killed another deputy while leaving the building.

On a previous court appearance, which ended in a mistrial, the deputies found that he had two jail house fashioned shivs in his shoes and that he had been planning on going after the judge. Allegedy, the judge had requested additional security for this second trial, but it was not granted. Hence, a jduge and two deputies are dead and another deputy is in critical condition.

Along the same line, in Chicago a federal judge's husband and mother were killed execution style in what she believes was a message to her pertaining to a case that she was presiding over.

Crime is just out of control. The liberals hate harsh sentences and they think they can fight crime in other ways. Personally, I believe in throwing the book at convicted people. Sad thing is that I am sometimes on the other side of the coin representing some of these criminals in court and asking the judge to be lenient on them. Granted, none of them are as bad as these guys. Mostly bar room fights and DWI's. It's just a system that doesn't always work properly.

I wish you guys in Canada the best of luck with the gun registry issue. Just remember, guns, knives, cars, bats, arrows, etc. don't kill people, PEOPLE KILL PEOPLE.
