Return of Long Gun Registry

[rick_iles]

Liberal Party official line is no registry return. This in response to lies being circulated in print by the Conbots. They have been telling the Yukon voters the Liberals plan to return the registry.

Both Trudeau and Mulcair have been on record as saying they would revisit the registry "in some form"....like I would believe either of them, now that they say they won't....? Not likely !

So,because a Liberal or NeeDeePer says they won't "re-visit" a gun registry,you believe that? Tell me,KC,where are you Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny?

Ya up here liberal Hec cloutier was going to vote against it. Or so he told all of us voters come election time. But what did he do?

The Quebec Liberal Youth wing had a motion I think it was in 2012 to make try and ban or begin preparing the public for the banning of all firearms. This was voted down. However only by a small margin. Also many of the back room boys like Alan Rock, Chretien and Paul Martin (Mr Dithers) still have a voice. Silver spoon kid also mention that he thought something like the Australia model would be good which was to ban all semi's and pump action as well as handguns.

NDP on the other hand has just admitted the other night that they will bring back the registry and will charge gun owners to implement. I would imagine something like what the Liberals first tried and that was to charge 100.00 per gun to register.

These are fact you can find them yourself.

Nope, you're gonna have to post a link to the NDP statement, because the last statement I can find from the NDP on this is in July, when they said they would not bring back the registry.

Please cite a news report.

Am I allowed to cite the words of my local candidate who told my wife with me no more than 10 feet away that the NDP would definately revisit the gun issue with certain respect to the registry ?

Oh they won't bring back a "gun registry"....they will implement some kind of "citizens firearms reference log" but it's not a "gun registry". It's the same but different.

As these politicians say, it's not a "tax", it's a "levy"
It not a "new tax", it's a "health care premium"

No, for the simple reason that local candidates say all kinds of things. A local NDP candidate in Quebec suggested his party could reopen the constitution to ban wearing the niqab at citizenship ceremonies. That doesn't make it party policy.

Again, the last public statement by the NDP was no registry, in July. The Liberals don't seem to have made any statement that they would bring back the registry since the vote in 2012. The reasons are fairly obvious to anyone who's paying attention: this is a tight race, the winner will have a minority, and both the Liberals and NDP are relying on winning rural and northern ridings. They can't win if they alienate those ridings. And they can't hold onto a victory if they alienate those ridings.

Ya and the last public statement by Mulcair at debate was how many refugees the UN was mandating Canada to bring in and that Harper wouldn't do it. Have You noticed the CTV can't find any evidence of such a mandate?

Incorrect, when is a registry not a registry??? When you refuse to call it that. What Muclair actually is he would not set up a registry the same way as the Liberals did., but he feels the Police need a way to track guns via the serial numbers. Please tell me what do you call a system where the record who, the number and how many you have???

3 NDP candidates have said the registry will be revisited.
