I feel that anyone who would vote, or not, for any particular party based solely on their stance on firearms, is not looking out for our country , but just for themselves, and their own personal interests.

I absolutely agree. In the grand scheme of things,any firearm registry is small potatoes when we take into consideration the catastrophic damage a left wing government could do to our fragile economy,given that the world economy is teetering on the edge of another major retraction and their politically correct,pacifistic approach to Islamic terrorism. Very precarious times for Canadians,indeed.

Agreed, sadly there are those that will not vote on any reason just on rhetoric and emotion. That seems to be much of the left voters, IF you look at debt, economy, corruption, firearms, world politics, terrorism etc. then I would say with the current Liberal and NDP there is no way any thinking person could vote for them... but many take great efforts to NOT think it seems. (Hence my post about the implications of voting in the Election area.)

The plates are crown property. If they take them away, your truck is useless. Surely you wouldnt use a non registered truck...

what upsets me is not that some party has a different view on a certain topic (e.g. firearm laws) and that they spin it their way (they are politicians, what do you expect). nobody should solely vote for a federal party based on their view on firearms. however, if you see, just based on this example, how outlandish the Libs views are and what they propose, you have to wonder if any of their decisions will be based on facts or just extremists' ideology and personal gain.
as I like to look for an universal pattern, firearm policy (a rather minor topic blown out of proportion) is not too bad of an indicator in this election

Both left parties have said they would end tax breaks and other benefits that take cash from my pocket, and give it to those who "need" it. ie people who dont work. Nothing like being punished for working hard and getting ahead.
This is about a lot more than firearms, thank you.

Not necessarily. If it's perceived as a freedom thing, then it's a much bigger issue than being just about firearms.
I see positions on firearms and freedom of expression issues as pretty damn good indicators of the overall "freedom index" of a particular party. They are kind of canaries-in-the-coal-mine as far as I'm concerned.
I'm all for chopping government. I've even built a guillotine.

What does Bill C-51 say about the "freedom index" of the CPC?
