Hooray for Canada.
Pretty soon they will almost be real people.
Hehe.

That should be an inspiration to our oppressed brethren and sistren in New Jersey, California, Maryland, and other occupied lands.

Pretty cool, wonder if it helps the US at all, even serving as an example.

Let's hope! It is at least one tally mark in our favor, where we can say..."See, it didn't work for them"

Kind of doubtful. As Canada(eh?) was abolishing their long gun registry, the Kalifornia legislature and Moonbeam Brown were busy creating their own. :mad:

The original cost was supposed to be less than $2 million but ended up costing over $2 BILLION. (http://www.cbc.ca/news/story/2004/02/13/gunregistry_rdi040213.html)

From the article:

A large part of the $2 billion expense is a computer system that's supposed to track registered guns, according to one document. Officials initially estimated it would cost about $1 million. Expenses now hover close to $750 million and the electronic system is still not fully operational.


Sounds about right for a Federal system.

Great day for gun owners in Canada. Now we need to continue our fight and get more of the bad laws repealed. Something the anti gun crowd is already scared of.

and the soap opera continues. we now have civil servants and bureaucrats telling our elected officials that they will do whatever they feel like, including continuing to keep records that are now specifically not legally allowed to be kept. The Minister responsible for a bunch of this stuff is "troubled" by the revelations and has sent a strongly worded letter to the various officials. He is further "troubled" when they say they are going to ignore him. Very very interesting times politically in Canada right now. If the government doesn't slam it's fist down on these clowns ASAP it basically means the RCMP can do act as they like, as can provincially appointed officers.
