Liberals cooked books on gun registry: auditor

" Public Safety Minister Anne McLellan was responsible for the registry at the time — the government decided not to ask Parliament for more money, but instead asked accountants and lawyers to find a way to shift $21.8-million in costs to the next fiscal year."

I'd say lock McLellan up; but, that would only lead to the corruption of the morals of other inmates. Also, few have committed a serious enough crime to be subjected to McLellan's whinny voice for hours on end.

Now is this a surprise??? :-)

Gun controllers lie? I just refuse to believe that. They only have the interests of the children at heart.

"Now is this a surprise??? :-)"

Beat me to it!!!!

[Brilliant]

costs "roughly $100-million a year..."



And doesn't seem to work.

Well surprise, surprise. A liberal would tell a lie? Darn, don't tell me it is so. /scalding sarcasm on.

[Puppage]

use the timing to push through its plan to scrap the registry of rifles and shotguns

I am sure they'll do away with all the names previously collected, too.

"the Centre still takes too long to process applications, and doesn't know how many of its records have outdated addresses or incorrect names." "It also does not adequately verify transfers to new owners or the description of the registered firearms — information crucial to making the registry useful for tracking guns.

Only criminals, tyrants and liberals fear the armed citizen.

Once again we see just how mentally deranged are those of liberal political views. How many crimes have been solved by use of the registry? Gun registries are good only for one thing: eventual confiscation. This one may be so screwed up that it won't even be good for that!

Canada ping.

Please FReepmail me to get on or off this ping list.

Liberals lie??? I can't believe that. I don't think liberals know HOW to lie. < / sarcasm, before face explodes >

LOL, the very definition of cruel and unusual punishment. Maybe the US should hire Landslide Annie to go give long speeches to inmates at Gitmo.

That's because all the gunz in kanuckistan are there because of their southern neighbor..... (roll eyes)

One can only hope that lawsuits are forthcoming. This only bodes well for the new natural governing party of Canada, the Conservatives.

Yikes, during lunch break I read stories about Mexico, Venezuela, Iran, the Netherlands, and Saudi Arabia. What will cause this nonsense to stop?

Well, at least Canada is becoming stronger and a bit more of a straight shooter....

[Fair Go]

Ping!

[The Old Hoosier]

Okay, let's think a minute. How expensive is it to have a gun registry? How did this cost A BILLION DOLLARS! Even in Canadian money??? I can set up an Excel file that we can put every gun owner's name into for a mere fraction of that.

I am anti-registry, of course, but isn't it obvious that they must have used this politically correct program to STEAL a lot of public money? This isn't just about gun rights -- that money just disappeared, and who knows what they did with it?

[Rocky]

Another great liberal program. They have so many wonderful success stories.

[Lancey Howard]

The money was stolen, period. It would be interesting to know HOW MANY guns have been registered, and then divide the total "gun registry" expenditures to find out how much the registry costs per firearm.
