Getting stuck with another long-gun registry bill

[greatwhite]

The Chritien Liberals were well known for passing on extra money to Quebec. I suspect this would first be done quietly by increased payments under the name of something else.

Have not read that OOD report yet, but from what I've seen the Liberals did not promise to fund Quebec's registry, only to "support" it in unspecified ways. This in contrast to the previous government which of course would have done nothing to support it.

I'll get concerned about this when the budget is released, and we actually know where the dollars are going, and how many dollars are involved.

You mean like Mulroney, in envelopes, in hotel rooms, by a German guy?

Try and keep up. This thread is about a gun registry although you are free to accuse him publicly because that didn't cost us much money last time when he sued Cretien and won big $$ We can start another thread and compare scandals with Cons/Libs.

Today's order of business:

1. Speculate.
2. Treat speculation as fact.
3. Get upset about it.

When the Government states publicly they will support Quebec's registry I think we have moved past speculation. After Obama's televised gun control show last night I wouldn't be surprised to see JT jump on the bandwagon even if we already have a sensible and effective background check system here. if today's polling on that show showed support I have no doubt we are in for more misdirected gun control shortly. It would be a good deflection away from the coming fiscal nightmare he is planning.
The thing is America and Canada are apples & oranges when it comes to gun control. I can't for the life of me understand why they oppose effective background checks down there. The whole gun show thing doesn't have to be a dangerous loophole nor does every guy who sells guns have to be a licensed dealer. Our PAL system solves all this and any registry is just smoke and mirrors after a gun owner is awarded a PAL. If America went to a PAL system it would go much further into satisfying the anti gunners and wouldn't remove guns from those who should be allowed to have them. In the end nothing will ever prevent tragedies ans many of the maniacs who commit mass murders do it with legally bought guns.

Try and keep up. This thread is about a gun registry

You make me laugh. This thread was never about the Long Gun Registry, it is about Liberal Bashing and as such should have been moved to the Off Topic section long ago.

I am not a Liberal, a NDP'er nor a Conservative, I have voted for each party in the past; but not once has it ever been a one party does it all for me. I do find the reactions funny though when anyone dare bash the Conservatives.

It's out of bounds as far as their gun lobby is concerned. The line would be, why do I need a licence to exercise a right?

Some states, such as Connecticut, have brought in permit-to-purchase, which is essentially an FAC system. As you point out, it works.

100% agree with you Doug,almost every topic here starts "undercover" and immediately goes to a anti liberal attack.Liberals such as myself get banned from the "off topic" section and when we make a reply on another section it gets moved to off topic.Caltek should be well aware by now that this forum cannot continue this censorship,either allow both views or none.In relation to the OP if the duly elected Federal Government wants to assist the taxpayers in Quebec with this issue I support them.

I know people who have left this forum, because many threads turn into an anti Liberal diatribe. On other forums that I use, OOD members are known as Fudds for their attitudes.
