Return of Long Gun Registry

[rick_iles]

They won't call it a "registry". It will likely be called an "inventory"!!!!!! ;D. Kinda like a health "tax" is a "premium" !!!!

I don't know Welsh what would you call it??? I'm just going by what Muclair says. (By the way my dog isn't registered) Sue me. I don't have time to find the other articles I think another one was printed Thursday, but you a big boy I am sure you can find it.

What's your definition of a registry???

A New Democrat government would ensure police are able to track every firearm in Canada, but would also seek to avoid the pitfalls that made the now-defunct long-gun registry so controversial, Tom Mulcair said Wednesday.

“But, you know, that honest hunter who goes out with his pickup truck, it’s a registered pickup truck ... the trailer’s registered and the 4X4 is registered. Heck, his dog is registered.”

Check the date on that article. December, 2014. Two days later, the party changed tack and said no registry.

I've been searching for a recent comment by the NDP saying they would bring in a gun registry. Nothing. Thus my request you cite your source.

There is at present no credible reason to believe that any party intends to bring back the LGR. People who choose to believe that they will are doing simply that: choosing to believe something, in the absence of real evidence.

If you look at the polls, at a riding level, it is obvious that it is not in any party's interest to promise gun control at this point, or to enact it following the election. The next government will be a minority. Every seat counts. And as it happens, the Conservatives are going down to defeat in the very ridings where gun ownership is highest, such as the Yukon, all of Newfoundland, and northern New Brunswick. The Liberals and the NDP are not going to squander those gains.

If I have to look for it, you buy me doughnuts. I have to head to the farm right now . I will look tonight when I get back.

Of course non of the parties on the left are going to play their hand prior to an election. Hell they may not be able to get it done in a minority government with a Conservative Senate. But if and when the numbers add up and they can get a bill through both houses guaranteed there will be an Australian type gun law in Canada. Prior to that they can enact an annual license and set onerous rates for that that will force many people into giving up and surrendering their firearms. Compliance for such a license system needs to track individual owners and firearms. Bingo instant registry along with a new level of likely Quebec based civil servants with all the legacy costs attached to manage the thing. It's not only acceptable but fashionable for the left to attack legal gun owners.

Most political parties are aware that ticking off the ridings that elected you is a good way to stop governing.

Look at the riding-by-riding polling before making assumptions about what the parties will do once elected.

Thats all well and good, but do you use your guns to hunt or shoot ? Running the risk of being charged and losing all your guns for not complying with the law is not something most gun users will be willing to do.

Depends on the province and local. I know place in NS and NB where the Co's and Police don't give a crap. They never registered their and won't in the future.

Well I like most Canadians am not going to jeopardize my life and clean record by not following a gun law. If I can't use them I don't see the point in owning them. The point is to elect governments who target crime not law abiding citizens.
