Runciman has also enlisted Toronto police Chief Julian Fantino in the campaign, and the two men said here yesterday that a recent spate of gun-related offences in the GTA shows gun registration has had no impact on slowing crime. "We have an ongoing gun crisis including firearms-related homicides lately in Toronto," Fantino said in a statement, "and a law registering firearms has neither deterred these crimes, nor helped us solve any of them." He said the problem is one of gun-smuggling, not lack of registration. "The firearms registry is long on philosophy and short on practical results considering the money could be more effectively used for security against terrorism as well as a host of other public safety initiatives," Fantino said.
