JohnRich 4 #1 May 18, 2006 News:The Conservative government is waiving the fees for long-gun owners who renew their firearms licences and won’t prosecute those who fail to register weapons for the next year... The government plans to transfer responsibility for the Canada Firearms Centre to the RCMP. It will also cut $10 million in annual spending at the centre and redirect it to crime-fighting. The moves, which effectively gut the federal long-gun registry while leaving intact the act of Parliament, follow a damning audit this week that found the former Liberal government fudged the books to hide the registry’s true annual cost. The program had cost taxpayers almost $1 billion by the end of fiscal 2005, although at the time it was introduced by the Liberals in 1995 it was supposed to cost a net $2 million. Auditor General Sheila Fraser said many errors remain in the registry data, there is little verification, virtually no follow-up, and no way of measuring whether the program is actually delivering what it promised.Source: "Toronto Star" Now they just need to kill the handgun portion of the registry too.

The best they can hope for is that their money will buy them favor in our goverment and therefore gain a foothold in our politics. I am sure that the UN is aware that even if they sent an entire army of millions here, that just American Civilians would defeat them horribly and in quick order.

You ALWAYS like to point out how dangerous it is here in the US and how high our murder rate is. I wonder why so many people are willing to risk life and limb just to be here? No chest beating but I would rather be a citizen than a subject any day... I would NEVER live in ANY country that does not freely allow the ownership of firearms, it makes me shudder to think about what happens to people who give up any means of resisitance when the need arises.

I think that some people honestly believe that they are safer in Basra with a gun than in Salt Lake City without one. But hey, whatever makes you happy.

Apparently they live with lower murder rates. I know that is pretty damn scary. Quote wonder why so many people are willing to risk life and limb just to be here? I just came back from Vegas.

JohnRich 4 #16 May 19, 2006 Update:The Conservative government is expected to announce its plan today to start dismantling the long-gun registry after the release of a much anticipated report from the auditor general showing the former Liberal government hid more than $60 million in program costs from Parliament. Alberta politicians and firearms owners lauded the Tory plan and said they hope it's a decisive victory in their more than decade-long battle. In Edmonton, Premier Ralph Klein praised his federal Conservative cousins for looking to axe the program, arguing the gun registry hasn't translated into gun control. She said that while the 10-year cost of the registry through the end of fiscal 2005 has been pegged at $946 million, government officials went to great lengths to obscure the true annual tally. The Harper government is expected to offer amnesty for unregistered long-gun owners, effectively killing the program. Ottawa is also considering repealing laws making it mandatory for long-gun owners to register their weapons. Source: Calgary Herald Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
