Canadian failed gun registration experiment would cost the USA 24 billions and be worthless.

It is time for 75,000,000 firearm owners to spread the word about this worthless database in Canada. The liberal politicans in the eastern part of Canada need their heads handed to them on a platter.

In the old days a politican who wasted money would be tarred and feathered and run out of town on a rail.

Canadian needs some backbone. Come to think of it American closet firearms owners need some backbone too.

I think this is where someone is supposed to say:
"It doesn't matter what it costs if it saves the life of one child!" (/obligatory moronic reply)

Can some one help with the URL linking.

How is that accomplished??

What is that number of gun owners in Canada Again. The posted figures show 3 billion with a B. This cannot be.

Number of Canadian firearm owner?s 3,300,000

This 3.3 million

According to this source National Firearms Association (of Canada) there are 4,648,473 guns registered in Canada. Previous to gun registration, the number of firearms in the country was estimated at 7 to 10 million, the majority being hunting rifles.

Incidentally, for ChicagoFarmer's benefit, if you wanted to post a link to the website of the Alliance Member of Parliament (roughly equivalent to a Republican Congressman) Gary Breitkreuz, you would do it like this

I like to watch some Canadian TV news to get a different perspective. I try to watch the National a couple times each week. Wow, Peter M laid into the cost of gun control.

Then Rex Murphy just scredded the whole concept of gun control.

Canada may just stop its gun control efforts after the $2 million program looks like it will come in around $1 billion.

This has a chance of stopping health care reform, Koyoto ratification and may bring down the liberal government leadership.

That's 1 billion dollars that could have gone to overhauling Canada's health care system. Looks like the Liberal Government's anti-gun phobia backfired upon it big time. People are telling the federal government in Ottawa to make their day.

The resounding chorus of "Kiss my *ss" coming from the majority of those gun owners in the USA might be worth it based on entertainment value.

The loss of lives would not be worth it.

Dont breath, we might get a child killed if we do.

Does it save lives or does it kill lives? It depends which life you are talking about. It does kill/scare the bad guys and save the good guy in millions of encounters.

If the issue is saving children's lives, me think we should be well armed against those preying on them. Since legal gun owners are not terrorists, them infering that gun owners are seems to me that it is them who are the terrorists and child killers.

Thanks for the ahref routine. My understanding is that if the URL was posted to the "YOUR REPLY" window it would automaticlly encode.

4,648,473 firearms owners. The question is allway who numbers do you believe. Figures lie, and liers figure.

Thanks forthe comment

I hope your are correct in the termination of gun control in Canada but I think it is just wishful thinkiing.

There has never been a govt program canceled that the govt ever started.

If you wait to save children lives, keep them out of the vehicle in the driveway. Keep them out of the swimming pool, keep them off bicyles, keep them out of sports. All these activities are much more deadly.

All I can say is the Rex Murphy has quite a following and is quite articulate. He did a sarcastic analysis that pointed out that "gun control" doesn't stop crime. He then pointed out the cost to finish the program was huge. He then pointed out that once finished, by RCMP's own admission that data base will be so flawed that it will not do what the program is suppose to do. Then he asked if the government that said this program would basically pay for itself in savings of lost life at $2 million could be trusted to try to make the program work at any cost. Finally he indicated that this raises much bigger questions about the Liberal governments ability to manage any large program, especially something like the Keyota accords.

It was a sweeping condemnation of both the Liberal Government, gun control, and why small government is best.

I have never seen anything like it on Canadian TV. Rex has quite a following and he has archives of his opinon section on The National, CBC TV Website.

During last nights segment on the National, they interviewed a liberal backbencher and asked what he thougth of John C and the liberal leaderships programs. He looked the camera in the eye and said, he and his fellow liberals are not fools and just because they are in the same party doesn't mean that they are not as shocked as the oposition party and question how this could happen. I think this could lead to elections if the opposition plays it right.

Kids as cattle, it's for the children, they cannot do a single job safely, and we parents should not consider it our job to defend against a continuing criminality. Indeed, we all have a big job ahead of us, and keeping criminals at bay and jurisdictions intact requires us to carry guns, it is part of our job.
