The End of Canada's Long Gun Registry?

The End of Canada

According to Solomon Friedman, an Ottawa-based lawyer specializing in Canadian firearm laws, a huge problem with the current long gun registry is that, “all laws relating to guns are in the Criminal Code, and can only result in criminal charges. In effect, he said, Canada does not have a regulatory framework for firearms, only a criminal one.â€

“If you forget to file your paperwork, it’s not a ticket, it’s a criminal record,†Friedman explained. “The first thing that happens is you’re taken in handcuffs to the station, booked and you’re looking at custody and incarceration as a penalty.â€

This was a huge cluster-@ from the beginning. It was supposed to cost $2 million and ended up costing around $2 billion and only about 30% of guns were registered (many people simply ignored the law). The freedoms I have now with firearms is one of the reasons I'm glad I moved down here.

Glad that balances the lack of LaBatts and Molson.

Meh, never a fan of Labatts or Molson, now Moosehead is a different story. Funny thing is I can get a 6 pack of Moosehead here for a lot cheaper than I can back home (and Moosehead is made about an hour and a half away from my hometown).
