Canadians who like guns.
 

Good news for you.

"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."

missed that one.. about time.. what a complete money grab that was...

you don't have to be a gun kook to know that was a waste.

Canadians who like guns? Aren't those called "Americans"?

Constantly, but we're what are left that kicked America's ass in 1812 ;)

I thought all Canadians owned moose rifles?

.

even with the death of this bill somehow canadians still wont be sleeping with guns under their pillows and patrolling their garbage cans with machine guns.

No, they are called here" prairies people " ( equivalent to rednecks ) .

This governement is of extreme-right , to the point that the son of a famous premier ( PET) and a federalist is saying that separation for Quebec would be on option that he would consider in regards to this awfull federal premier ( quote from : Justin Trudeau ) .

Lest not forget that we have Steven " baby bush " Harper as premier :
Naturally , we had the bushist statement :

" You are either with us, or with the pedophiles "

Sure, but I wouldn't mind seeing DC burn again! LOL

Battle of new Orleans by Johnny Horton

In 1814 we took a little trip
Along with Colonel Jackson down the mighty Mississip.
We took a little bacon and we took a little beans
And we caught the bloody British in the town of New Orleans.

[Chorus:]
We fired our guns and the British kept a'comin.
There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago.
We fired once more and they began to runnin' on
Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico.

We looked down the river and we see'd the British come.
And there must have been a hundred of'em beatin' on the drum.
They stepped so high and they made the bugles ring.
We stood by our cotton bales and didn't say a thing.

[Chorus]

Old Hickory said we could take 'em by surprise
If we didn't fire our muskets 'til we looked 'em in the eye
We held our fire 'til we see'd their faces well.
Then we opened up with squirrel guns and really gave 'em ... well

[Chorus]

Yeah, they ran through the briars and they ran through the brambles
And they ran through the bushes where a rabbit couldn't go.
They ran so fast that the hounds couldn't catch 'em
Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico.**

We fired our cannon 'til the barrel melted down.
So we grabbed an alligator and we fought another round.
We filled his head with cannon balls, and powdered his behind
And when we touched the powder off, the gator lost his mind.

[Chorus]

Yeah, they ran through the briars and they ran through the brambles
And they ran through the bushes where a rabbit couldn't go.
They ran so fast that the hounds couldn't catch 'em
Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico.**

About time they scrapped it!

As a gun owner myself within Canada I take pride in knowing that I follow all the rules and safety precautions set by our firearms office. I can see HOW this gun registry can aid our law enforcement officers in making people more accountable. I do not agree with the current way it is administered but perhaps a better solution could exist that would make a difference with firearm offences in this country.

With that said, begone with it :D

I want to shoot the crackheads that break into my house

It's just long guns.. Most city crime isn't done with rifles :D

:pimp:helpme

restricted and prohibited firearms : what exactly are those ....

Poutine for everybody!

he said it on a radio program then 10 mins later retracted what he said publicly because he realized how fuckin retarded his statement was.. get your story straight..

Excellent - I always was amazed at Canadian politicians who felt that two gang members would go, "Hey - before you give me that gun to rob a bank or take out a rival - IS IT REGISTERED properly?"

Criminals aren't going to do anything - responsible people will.

There's plenty of guns in Canada. I've watched Trailer Park Boys, I know what's going on!

Aaron, you can eat at that heart attack burger joint in Vegas for free... says so right on the sign. Thread here about it somewhere.

lol ... get my story straight ....:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh .. Did he say it or not ? Simple yes/no question ...

He flipped-flopped more then " 10 minutes later " ... :
Is that straight enough for you ?:321GFY

With a few exceptions: handguns and 'exotics'...

All this allows, is someone to go into a store, and buy a rifle and not register it with the government.

You can't go buy a handgun without:
1) Having the proper license (renewed every few years)
2) filling out the proper forms
-providing proof of need, status at gun club
-getting the proper registration transfer
3) getting authority to transport it home

Scrapping the long gun registry just means that all the farmers don't have to register their rifles... Wow. Big win...
The registry is still being maintained for restricted and prohibited guns... nothing has changed on that front.
It's a useless victory, and I don't understand why Quebec is so fired up to keep it... it *only* applies to rifles.

Kind of sad to brag about a 200-year-old brief triumph. :winkwink:

I see ....

Seems like Police does supprt the registry .. and that oposing are mainly Hillbillies from Alberta ....

Now I am fine with no registry .. as long as I do not have to register my car ,.. or my boat ... or my house .... :upsidedow

Hey, its all we got :thumbsup

Yes and its the way it should be now

Not me. That's for 350lb trolls.

what??? You're still sore about that one ?:1orglaugh

The cops can still check the registry for handguns.... It'll still be around, and still be highly regulated.
Long guns are an issue, but a minor one...

Here are a few stats from Canada:
Handguns account for 2/3's of firearm crime (and will still be in the registry)
30% of guns used in homicides were registered (so 70% were illegal and not in the registry anyways)
50% of guns used in suicides were registered (so again, half of them wouldn't even be in the registry).
78% of deaths involving a gun were suicides

Also, it's not just "Alberta Hillbillies" that like guns...
Quebec has 6,595 licenses per !00,000 people. Alberta has 6,949, Ontario has 4,349...
Quebec and Alberta are similar, Ontario has much less....
Additionally, Montreal has similar levels of gun violence to Calgary, and much more than Edmonton. (Per 100,000, Montreal had 34, Calgary had 35, Edmonton had 28).

Since I happen to live in both Montreal and Calgary, I can also say authoritatively - there are more gun ranges in Montreal, and the people that go them seem a lot sketchier. The gun owners in Alberta seem to be a lot more responsible..
Montreal gun owners all seem to be skinheads or bikers :pimp

My personal thoughts are that the money has been spent. Why not keep it around now that it's in place... If we were allowed a do-over, they should never have been allowed to spend the $2 billion building it...

Hey don't knock it. Some of those moose rifles can shoot a hole through a car engine block. :D
