Toronto had another spate of shootings over the weekend, and no arrests. I don't see what the problem is. We have a gun registry, so certainly we should be able to find the shooters' names engraved on their bullets or something, and call them up to tell them they've broken the law, and that they should come on down to the cop shop and have the guns taken away for a week or a month or something. This should be easy. I mean, we spent enough money on it, so it must be foolproof.

Auditor General Sheila Fraser confirmed in a letter to Conservative MP Garry Breitkreuz her team is following up on the feds to see if they took up the recommendations from her damning December 2002 audit.

In that report, Fraser exposed how the controversial program that was expected to cost $2 million ballooned to a staggering $1-billion or more. The so-called "boondoggle" fuelled cries from Opposition critics like Breitkreuz to demand the program be scrapped.

Scrapped?? Then how will we ever find these guys?

HUNDREDS OF people were nearby when a man was shot in a packed downtown club, but not a single witness has come forward, Toronto Police say.

"It's one of those bizarre things, a crowded nightclub where nobody talks," Staff Sgt. John Martin said. "So we know where he was shot and when, but we don't know who did it or why."

Patrons ducked for cover when the man, in his late 20s, was shot at least twice around 3 a.m. yesterday on the second floor of Club 26 on Lombard St., police said.

Bullets were flying all weekend, with three other men shot in three different shootings early Saturday.

A man was shot in the hand and leg during a home invasion in North York.

Another man was shot in the stomach in the Islington Ave. and Queensway area.

A third man was shot in the chest near Dupont St. and Lansdowne Ave.

I don't understand how this can happen with such a good registry program for our firearms that we're not permitted to carry with us. Ever. I wonder if it has anything to do with the fact that the people we should be worried about are criminals, and therefore don't give a flying you-know-what about registering their firearms.......
