Harper Hunting Quail
So, the Tories, who said during the election that gun crime is a serious problem in Canada, are looking to scrap the gun registry- quickly. Say what you want about the program and the initial costing, but the money is spent and the registry is place. What about the cost in logic if it is now dismantled- all to satisfy a cheap political vendetta?
On Feb., 15, a CP story in the Toronto Star said "(t)he Conservatives have called the registry a waste of taxpayers money that targets duck hunters rather than criminals." Hmmm, and duck (or quail) hunters are supposed to be trusted with firearms? A Cheney by any other name... The auditor general has said he will re-visit the program. No decision should be made before the government receives the report, because THAT would be a stupid waste of taxpayers' money.

Partisan and uncalled for shot at hunters K.(ya I know, tounge in cheek)
Take the joke at Cheney's expense, no problem there, but don't link it to a waste of time and money that pits region against region.
I realise some of the marksmen you have in the GTA may be more accurate than Dick, but we try not to hunt humans out this way...it's a little thing. Oh, and like it or not our guns are registered.
Jeff- well at least you got it, mate. I don't think the actual registry pits region against region, other than philosophically, does it?
I like the fact that guns are registered. The only valid logical argument I can think of against it is the simple fact that it requires the public to deal with a layer of bureaucracy they may not savour. And even that is just whinging to me.
As far as your partisan charge goes, I disagree. I would take a shot at anyone I disagree with, regardless of stripe.
What purpose is there for those guns being registered. I know it's a tired old saw...but there ain't a whole lot of duck hunters killing gangbangers...suffice it to say they aren't really the weapons of choice. Another tired old chesnut, the majority of violent murder is commited with a weapon other than a gun.
I hate aruging this because frankly, I don't own a gun and I don't hunt.
I agree, you're not partisan, or at least when you are it's legit...

No see, that's what I first wrote to you about.
Bears don't care about philosophy.
Jeff: bears and most humans.
Excellent, love it!
