A troll came up out of the sewers in Montreal today, heavily armed. He killed one young woman and wounded about 20 other people, 8 of them critically, so there may yet be more deaths. What a world.

And, of course, our man, Smirkin' Steve Harper, wants to make sure any lunatic who wants one has easy access to his or her weapon of choice. Ban that gun registry, Steve. He does, however, want to punish the hell out of them once they've committed their crimes. Like the good neo-conservative nitwit that he is, he's very in favour of stiffer penalties for gun crimes. Fat lot of good that does the dead, of course. Not to mention their families.
