Ottawa Sun : les criminel d'Ottawa on des armes a feu..( ver ang)

Ottawa criminals turning to guns Cops on track to seizing record number of firearms in 2011
By JUSTIN SADLER,
Ottawa Sun More Ottawa criminals are turning to guns as their weapon of choice. And if the numbers stay on pace, cops could pull a record number of guns off Ottawa streets this year. “In the last few years, from my perspective ... there has been an increase in people being caught with guns in this city. There’s been an increase in the amount of shootings that we’ve been having,” Det. Chris O’Brien of the Ottawa police guns and gangs unit told the Sun. So far, guns and gangs seized 22 guns in the first two months of 2011. Just 23 were pulled off the streets by the unit in the whole of last year. While weapons offences and the overall crime rate are both going down in Ottawa — weapons charges have dropped almost 25% from 246 in 2008 to 185 in 2009, shootings are on the rise. Police investigated 20 in 2009 and 22 in 2010. Three men were killed by gunfire in that time — one a 16-year-old shot in the heart over a bag of weed. Between January and February this year cops have been called to three shootings. “And with the two (recent) shootings back to back, I remember remarking it seems early, really early, for all this to start,” O’Brien says. The Feb. 27 shooting at a motel in Vanier left two men injured, one critically, after a party got out of control. Three people were held but it was determined none of those were involved in the shooting and they were released. A day later, shots were fired at a vehicle near Cummings Ave. No one was injured and no arrests have been made. In both cases handguns were used. And how are these weapons getting into the hands of Ottawa’s gangsters and thugs? Det.-Const. Craig Bridgeman of the province’s weapons enforcement unit says there are two major sources of guns used in serious crimes. About 50% of the guns police pull off Ottawa’s streets are illegal handguns smuggled from the U.S. The other 50% are mostly long guns either stolen or obtained by other unlawful means. “Fifteen years ago we didn’t have these problems. Today people who own guns lawfully are a target,” Bridgeman says as he shows a crude-looking shotgun at Ottawa police headquarters. The shotgun once belonged to a hunter. It was stolen, the barrel sawn off, wrapped in black electrical tape and used in who knows how many crimes before police seized it. “Ten years ago, where you would have a shooting today, you would have a stabbing back then. It seems like now more and more people are turning to firearms as an option.” The violent reality on the streets has everyone from the petty drug dealer to the most organized of crime groups buying illegal guns to ply their trade as rivals also race to arm themselves. “These guys know that in order to be a successful criminal — drug dealer or otherwise — they have to carry a gun,” Bridgeman says. “If you’re an up-and-comer and you want to sling rock on the streets in any town in Ontario, you gotta have a gun or access to a gun.” Handguns are the obvious choice among these thugs, “but a gun is a gun is a gun,” O’Brien says. They’re not picky — sometimes a replica or air gun will do. But the statistics are limited, Bridgeman says, and don’t show the lives that have been shattered by gun violence, the families who become victims of crime and the communities that are gripped by fear. “It tears you apart from the inside,” he says. “It’s gut wrenching.”

Je parlais avec un Néo-Canadien. Dans son pays les armes à feu sont des répliques. C'est le forgeron du village qui les fabriques. C'est beaucoup moins cher que l'original et ça tire les munitions comme les authentiques.

Le plus ironique la dedant, c'est que les anti se disant la même chose. Eduquont le monde sur les armes parce que les armes c'est faite pour tuer.

Je me suis déja risqué à essayer d'en convaincre quelque un dans mon entourage, et je m'y suis cassé les dents assez vite aussi.

Avec eux autre, tu pers "vraiment" ton temps.
