To my mind, in relation to the rural, a case in point is the murder of RCMP Constable Dennis Strongquill in Manitoba. His assailants were two parolees and a woman who was accompanying them. They had started a crime spree in Alberta that finished with the officer being hunted down, essentially, by these offenders and shot dead in Manitoba, north of Winnipeg.
In that case the firearms involved were all long guns. They'd all been stolen from either private residences or vehicles. In some cases the firearms had not been properly secured. In one case the weapon involved was a long gun stolen from an automobile that was left running with the keys in it. The firearm was in the back seat.
From our perspective, these crimes transcend all communities. Certainly we've seen a lot of problems in Toronto, but we believe, in terms of this law, we have to recognize that often the weapon of choice is going to be the weapon of opportunity, and not necessarily based on a particular class.
