I would have thought this long-gun registry should have died already.

BANG!

OK, nobody except for guys such as Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Kim Jong Il.

Don’t forget Adolf Hitler — worked for him too.

There’s something deliciously ironic about Canada’s seeing of the light. If we look across the pond, the UK’s crime rate is the highest of the western world since they outlawed firearms. The Canadians are probably looking over there and thinking, “No need to go down that path, they’ve already done it.” Whereas here in the US, our current Regime is saying, “Well, they’ve done it wrong, we can do it better!”

*sigh*

One of my favorite lines of discussion involves liberals pointing out that gun related crimes are reduced thanks to this sort of legislation.

“Gun related crimes?”

So.. mugger doesn’t have a gun, he just beats you with a bat. Then he steals your gun.

I am not against regulation of firearms on some level, but not to the extent that some people want it. To me, the best “regulation” of guns is that law abiding citizens “regularly” have guns.

Paging Captain Obvious!

Captain Obvious, please pick up the "white phone"!

“as Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff has announced he’ll punish any of his members who vote their conscience or for their constituents on this matter.” Good to see elected politicians are representing the people . . . . .

I know this is hard for the LEFT to believe, but CRIMINALS don’t obey laws - even GUN LAWS! It is responsible, law abiding citizens that obey the law and almost punished by the left for doing so.

[nmh]

Yes, yes ... allow the CRIMINALS to merrily get their ILLEGAL guns through the usual outlets and then disarm, law abiding citizens - liberal utopian logic. Then as if by MAGIC, criminals will abandon their guns and not hurt you.

This is how to talk to a liberal. They deserve little more than plain-faced ridicule.

[gundog]

It’s not supposed to work. It’s supposed to be a reasonable gun control measure, which, when it fails, shows the need for outright confiscation.

Thanks for the ping, Neverdem.

Clive, ping.

[wastedyears]

Since when have Liberals ever halted a program that doesn’t work?

[Clive]

Thanks for the ping, fanfan

[stefanbatory]

these types use the same logic when wanting the US to dismantle its nuclear weapons...if we do it, everyone else will too! NOT!

[pabianice]

It's the idea that's important, not the facts.

Thanks for the post and it is a Captain Obvious news item.

You’re welcome, Clive.
