That does not raise red flags for you?<br /><br />Of course not.<br /><br />In any event, I see you have totally ignored my point. I can only assume that is because you know you are unable to counter it. Who cares IF the registry was enacted with the purpose of reducing crime, the point is the registry has been used, and should be used, to bring criminals to justice.<br /><br />But then I can see that you think it is way more important that farmers not be put to the dreadful inconvenience of having to fill out forms in order to assist the police in doing their jobs.<br /><br />Car registration is used for the same thing, by the way. <br /><br />Nice try on the diversion though.<br /><br />PS - the much greater amount of money we spend on keeping people in prison could also be better used for diversionary measures.

Why w...Gayle you are trying to move the goalposts.<br /><br />Why was the Long Gun Registry started?<br /><br />1) A tragic event in QC.<br /><br />There was NO study or Valid reason to ask thousands of law abiding citizen to register their property as a result of that tragedy.<br /><br />The Government at the TIME (Liberals) promised the Bad Policy would make it safer and reduce crime.<br /><br />Again Gayle NO study or Valid reason can be drawn to connnect how requiring thousands of law abiding citizens to fill out a form and submitting a fee changes ANYTHING.<br /><br />A car is a perfect example.<br /><br />The problem is a small number of criminals who have lost their right to drive but continue to drive. Drunk Drivers make up a very small percentage of the population but they still drive without a licence or insurance. <br /><br />The Auditor General found the database to have significant errors making the database in need of an audit.<br /><br />Compliance is 50%? How do you get those in non compliance arrest them? If the Aboriginals don't recognize the LG Registry how do you resolve it?<br /><br />We don't have the WILL to stop the illegal smokes on Reserves, you want to try the guns?<br /><br />Goodluck.<br /><br />Another distraction about longer sentences.

Only statistics on lower levels of gun crime can prove this. Take this from someone who has studied scientific method, and studied science to the post-grad level (including Statistics). <br /><br />The evidence is in the "proof" of lower gun crime levels. <br /><br />Oh. One other thing. Most "criminals" are good law-abiding citizens at some point. If the wife-beater husband has a long gun, and has to think twice about murdering his spouse or neighbor because his gun is traceable, then we have already begun to win our battle.<br /><br />I guess common sense can't appease a crowd who have elevated this argument to a misplaced "holy cow". <br /><br />This is not the USA, and you DON'T have a "right" to bear arms here.WesternGrithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06658358114507615351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23292180.post-17225816850929027122009-11-10T11:34:36.142-05:002009-11-10T11:34:36.142-05:00No TG.. as usual, full of criticism, but nothing o...No TG.. as usual, full of criticism, but nothing of substance to add.<br /><br />I don't care if there are those that disagree with me.. but tell me why.<br /><br />I get that registering a firearm may assist, after the fact, with prosecuting the offender.
