Gun Reg Question

[JackRabbit]

my son has a question to ask on the gun registry for school,law course.



"Is this gun registry a good thing or not??"
and why?

[blacktail]

If you look at the latest statisitics you will find that indeed the serious crime rate with firearms has increased and the guns they are using have all been unregistered prohibited or restricted weapons.

So the question that is begging to be answered is :

Is the registry really doing what it was supposed to do??


answere NO!!

[icequeen]

Another emphatic NO!

Not only is the registry not doing what it's supposed to, it's also make criminals of law abiding firearms owners.

[popplecop]

Did the criminals register their guns or just the law abiding citizens? As a retired Law Enforcement Officer with 30 years on the job, I say NO.

I got over 20 and I say NO !

I think the gun registry would be much more successful if they hired more people with a solid background in firearms. I registered 16 at one time via computer because it was free at the time. I printed out a copy to myself so I'd know exactly what data was sent to them. I got a leter of registration back from the registry (no more plastic cards?). It contained no less than 5 mistakes on the 15 firearms. Two weeks later I started getting letters from them asking for more information on my restricted firearms. I finally reached them by telepone after much heartache and told them I owned no restricted firearms. Their reply? "Well, forget it then." Yet they kept on sending the requests and never did make the corrections to the mistakes. This registry was ill fated at its inception, and I don't see it improving a great deal. Just one mans opinion. Best wishes.

There are many mistakes on my registration forms, barrel length designations, and there is no differentiation between military Mausers, whether small and large ring, manufacturer, country of service (one serial number can represent many firearms).

Firearms are registered not to an owner, but rather to a piece of paper which can be easily counterfeited.

Enforcement of the law is limited, as 7 of 10 provinces and the territories will not enforce the law. Any law to be effective needs recognition and common acceptance as being a good thing, this law is neither accepted by the people or the police as being a good law.

The Charter of Rights, Civil and property rights and Freedoms were violated with the enactment of C-68.

The only way gun registration solves a crime is:
-- a gun was used in a crime.
-- the gun was registered.
-- the gun was left at the scene of the crime for police to find it.
-- the serial number was intact.
-- the registered owner of the gun committed the crime.

Or am I missing something?

The likelihood of the above is pretty remote, I'd say.

And for this you and I paid $2 billion while our daughters, wives and mothers die of breast cancer waiting in line for treatment, and while our fathers, brothers and husbands die at the hands of thugs while our valiant police officers beg for more manpower and more modern crime-fighting tools.

Shame. Shame....
