Canadaduh PM Blames U.S. for 'His Country's Crime Problem,' December 29, 2005 Martin is treating the United States like a scapegoat for his failed leadership and for crimes committed by Canadian citizens. On the same day that Prime Minister Martin was blaming the United States for his country's crime problem CNN reported on a border arrest of two Canadian residents who were detained for trying to re-enter the country with handguns and ammunition concealed on their bodies. Ali Dirie and Yasin Mohamed are not Irish Americans from Boston, but residents of Toronto, apparently trying to import guns illegally press release said. Martin's plan to ban guns will only succeed in driving up demand for weapons on the black market. not only have Canadian handgun sales already gone up ahead of the gun ban according to wire reports, but law-abiding citizens, not criminals, will suffer as a result. What Martin and other Liberals in Canada don't seem to grasp, or maybe they just don't care, is that a ban is only going to take guns out of the hands of law-abiding citizens. Criminals will still get guns, and Martin will continue blaming the United States for his administration's monumental failure to address a growing crime problem Isn't it curious that crime has been climbing in Canada at the same time the Liberal government under Martin and his predecessor has been squandering billions of dollars on the gun registration fiasco Turns out gun owners were right and all Martin can think of is taking further sanctions against his law-abiding citizens while doing nothing to actually reduce crime "The Prime Minister has no real solution to crime so he blames honest gun owners and his good neighbor to the south for his government's failures
