This is entirely off topic, but I wonder what our fine blog host thinks about the information in Rob Washburn's editorial in Wednesday's dailies about "local gun culture"?

I was shocked to read that Port Hope residents own 5,651 guns. In Cobourg, without the rural rump being counted, the total is 1,926.

I wonder how many there are throughout the whole County?

I really wonder how many there are that are NOT registered.

Are they all for hunting? The categories of guns registered include rifles, shotguns, handguns, assault rifles and historical weapons, along with assorted others.

I agree with Mr. Washburn when he says we need to think about this. While the demand for a ban comes from the Mayor of Toronto, the numbers tell us clearly that the issue is not confined to cities.
