A sad case of liberal left anti-gun brainwashing – another family heirloom is turned in under the Langley “gun amnesty”.
“If this gun had killed somebody, I would have felt terrible.”
No shotgun shells exist that fit the piece, which is estimated to be over 130 years old.
Plus this
“When we consider the recent burglary trend that has targeted gun owners, it only reinforces our predictions that a 2 billion-dollar programme designed to keep Canadians safe is doing the exact opposite,” concluded Reader.

I’m sure it’s been addressed here before, but the 5000 hits a day are NOT police officers directly accessing the gun registry. If a police officer runs your licence plate then the computers automatically scan the gun registry as well. This is where the 5000 hits a day comes from.
IF officers are using the registry before entering a home are they more likely to kill an innocent person who happens to be have a PAL? Are they going to go into a drug house that shows no registered guns expecting that everyone in there will be unarmed? Any police officer I have heard speak on the topic says that they would be foolish to rely solely on the registry to determine if there are guns on the property.
Thieves are cowards.
Liberanos are thieves.
I think there may be a connection.
They can regi my gun when they take it from my cold dead fingers.
“First, it is important to establish a pre-ban baseline and then compare it to similar research after the ban to determine crime trends. For that, we will reference the International Crime Victimization Surveys of 1992 and 2000. (3)”
This would be a unscientific and intellectually devoid assumption. Canada is NOT Britain or the US…we have different cultures and any percived misuse of lawful civilian owned arms will be reflected in the impact culture has on this.
The concept of a “ban” is premised upon the fact that a citizenry is so untrustworthy and prone to violence or crime that it cannot be trusted with a weapon….Canada has no such culture…..and historically if we want to start banning weapons from those who are prone to abuse them it is statistical fact that as a profession Police are 300 times more prone to criminal violence, suicide and gun crime as the average civilian firearms owner.
It is self-evident that with the gun registry the Liberals weren’t concerned with public safety. The Liberals have failed us on all fronts vis a vis public safety: soft on crime, social-worker judges making excuses, a enviscerated military, a truly astoninishinly lax approach to undocumented “refugee” claimants released on their own cognizance before their hearing, deportations that don’t happen and are not monitored, fund-raising with a Tamil terrorist front group and on and on.
W L Mackenzie redux is right. Liberals simply have a complete contempt and distrust for the average Joe and Jane. They believe that the citizens are perma-children (the best premise for continual state expansion) and of course we have the “urban-sophisticate” (definitely in quotation marks) vs. the “hayseed” cultural clash.
And let’s not forget the feminist angle here: the Dec 14 massacre in Montreal, as we are reminded annually.
