Canada end of Gun Registry

By Jeff Davis

OTTAWA — The Conservative government says its MPs will celebrate after a historic vote to end the long-gun registry Wednesday evening, despite vehement opposition to the move in Quebec and much of urban Canada.

Public Safety Minister Vic Toews told reporters Wednesday, hours before the vote, that the government’s actions are long overdue.

“It does nothing to help put an end to gun crimes, nor has it saved one Canadian life,” he said

We will have to replace the legislature.

If nothing productive happens in regards to gun rights this term, I will inform my rep that although not seeking office personally, I will be actively campaigning against her. I suggest all of you do the same. Get rid of the seat warmers.

As nice as the long-gun registry's demise is, it would be nice to be able to bring a pistol with me when I go to Canada. Then again, although very difficult, it is not impossible. Probably only slightly more onerous than Michigan's pistol registration scheme. But, I'm sure our pistol registration's demise would make out-of-staters happy in that they too would be able to bring a pistol into Michigan. The idiocy of our elected officials is amazing at times. End registration NOW!
