RHC: The only time I've ever been ashamed to say I was a Canadian was
when I heard this abomination of an appointment....our highest honour
given to a liar and an extremist.!!!!!

Just the other day, the leader of our Liberal Party (akin to your
Democrats only farther left) has publicly told his MP's on the
committee they are not allowed to vote their conscience on this Bill.
They are expected to vote along party lines to keep the registry
simply because it's a past Liberal "accomplishment". These idiots
sense that the public are finally coming to their senses about
wasteful programs and restrictive government activities of all sorts
and are desperate to keep the "status quo". This would permit the
maintaining of a large useless bureaucracy to continue the ineffective
registry.

Their main argument is that the police have a way of knowing which
household has guns in it prior to going there. These dimwits seem to
forget that the authorities already know it from the Firearms
Aquisition Cerificate gun licensing program, so a database to keep the
information about individual firearms is redundant and can only be
used to further restrict certain types of firearms in the future when
some bureaucrat decides that such and such a gun is deemed dangerous
to public safety (whatever the hell that means...).

I know and shoot with a lot of police officers. To a man they tell me
the whole thing is a joke from their perspective. As one said to me,
if he doesn't always prepare for the worst when going on a call, he
will end up dead someday. The registry does nothing for him. The
registry is nothing more than "pap for the public" to make the
government look like it's doing something against crime !!

So you have to ask the question, what is it's real purpose. I think we
both know the real answer to that question !!!!!!!!!!!!
