Banning firearms that have no hunting value would be like banning cars that are capable of exceeding the speed limit, or that look nice, or that are fun to drive or that have spoilers. We have firearms that have no hunting value because they are fun to shoot, or collect, or are semi-auto, or that look cool. So please, check your Communist-Socialist, fun hating, freedom disliking comments at the door the next time you enter My Democratic country of Canada.
It's over! Stop crying over sunk costs. That $2,000,000,000 is gone. The voting public, the ones who matter, have the power and must be listened to. Time to do some spring cleaning and shred this data before it falls into the wrong hands. My personal info is on their records and I want that destroyed!
I would like to see actual studies done on the effectiveness of the LGR. I know we hear from both sides either it had an effect, or it prevented nothing at all, but as anyone with the understanding knows that without actual evidence and proof of these claims, all these are just opinion, and of no real value.
Seems to me that dismantling the gun registry is an act of vadalism on Canadian property. I wish that the auditor general would determine if the destruction of gun registry data is legal or not.
Furthemore, assult weapons that have no value in the sport of hunting should be banned.
As I stated below, the registry has always done more harm than good. If the data is no longer being used, it is in the interest of public safety to destroy it.
Also, "Assault weapons" (firearms with select fire capability ie; fully automatic) are already banned, though I suspect that you're referring to modern target shooting semi automatics. Shouldn't the laws focus on what the firearm does, rather than how it looks?
The police cannot depend 100% on the data as there are errors made from data entries and updates. Criminals don't own registered guns, so the police will (and should) always assume that there is a gun involved, even if the registry doesn't pull up their name. This brings the fact that the registry is useless, delete it all, and invest the funds into effective crime prevention strategies.
The data does more harm than good, it always has. The registry has been broken into at least 300 times, it's a giant break-and-enter shopping list for criminals. Canadians everywhere will be safer when it's gone.
