Windsor, Ontario: "No Way In Hell."

This CNN report about Windsor, Ontario sounds like Brady Bunch paradise:
The paucity of guns is one of three factors police in the city across the river from Detroit cite for its low homicide rate. The 25-year average for homicides is about 5.24 a year.
Especially when you compare it to neighbor Detroit where
homicides occur nearly once a day.
And apparently there's a saying in Windsor:
"In Windsor, when a 7-Eleven is held up, it usually is a knife. In Detroit, it is an Uzi."
Yes. A definite Brady Bunch paradise.

And then there's this little nugget:
And when it comes to gun ownership, Blaine said, Canadians are willing to sacrifice some liberties to feel secure.
Fuck that. Fuuuuck that.

We all know that saying often attributed to Ben Franklin:
"Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."
Yeah.

So screw you, Windsor, Ontario.

No way in hell.
