When gun control legislation is enacted, it's been proven that the rate of assaults, violent crimes, drug related offenses, and property crimes actually go up. The legal ownership of guns for self defense acts as a deterrent and scares criminals away. It's been found that in places where concealed carrying of guns is legal, the crime rates are lower.
heck the registry is bullshit... i live "out in the boonies" and everyone here just said Fuck Da Police and didnt register their guns... yep that registry really worked didnt it :P
Licensing systems dont accomplish their exterior objective: which is disarming criminals. It does however accomplish its INTERIOR motive, to provide a barrier for regular citizens to obtain firearms. Everytime you submit to licensure you lose freedom because the authority that issues the license dictates your behaviour regarding the activity the license is for and can also take it away at any time. That is not freedom, that is tyranny.
Liberals are so stupid they don't see that violent gun crimes are done by stolen weapons or people who have snapped with a legit gun. lol 2 billion to create more jobs for their fake friends to shuffle paperwork from desk to desk.

Gun control assholes can just see how it fails in England. Crimes by firearms have increased since the handgun ban. Why are British police "Bobbies" officers carrying firearms and body armour? Wasn't the handgun ban supposed to reduce crimes by firearms? Answer me that ya control dinks!
Okay this is really stupid. Criminals are able to get guns easy while the good guys are trying to get one past this completely impossible gun registry. I've been living in ontario for years and i have not been able to see even 1 real gun shop before. They're banning guns from the good guys making it impossible for them to obtain them while it doesn't even faze the bad guys. In fact i think they're even doing better now that its even more impossible for most canadians getting guns the legal way
For all you jackass conservative conspiracy theorist nuts out there that suddenly think this is an act of govt to take control over your life and mind by having a gun registry. Go find something better to do. The govt is not going to break down your door looking to disarm you. It has never happened and will not happen as you cannot disarm 30 or 300 million people at a whim. Keep believing the big bad liberal agenda or Illuminati or whatever the fuck you cling to in order to not see your faults.
@ToJ01978 Did you listen to the man at all? The man said that it has never helped what so ever. So if it doesn't help than why keep the registry program.
@ToJ01978 dude the canadian government banned 58 percent of all handguns and then said ok now every rifle and shotgun has to be registered. So everyone with a rifle or shotgun said oh fuck and two thirds of them didnt register there guns. In fact Im the only person I know who has actually registered all there guns.
@Bristow42 No it has to do with taking them away. Look at the Type 97 Norinco they want to take away, and other guns with registrations that expired they siezed.
Hitler used gun control and look what happened. This registry program is used because the government is scared of it's own people. This is logical only if the government has something huge in mind where the people will turn on the government just like what could have happened to Hitler if he never knew where all the guns were. Hitlers guys went house to house confiscating guns before any attack. This is why conservatives should always be in office and never ever should the NDP and the Liberals.
Using Hitler as a scare tactics is pathetic and quite honestly juvenille. Hitler never went door to door to take away guns from Germans. Most people did not own one. Next your going to tell me that because Hitler created public works and Canada supports public works that all public works are fascist. Also, there was public healthcare in nazi Germany. I suppose you must be against that too. Now your going to tell me that Hitler was a socialist therefore socialism is fascism. Idiot.

Congrats the cops know that gun was his. It's good we have a gun registry. Oh wait no that's not all...he has two more locked up at home. Man I'm glad we had that registry. My theory prevent the snap. Buy the guy a coffee...2$ vs billions
Your comment iscompletely off point. My good friend is a Metro Toronto police officer. If he shows up after a 911 call to a resisdence where a violent crime has been committed it should be considered an asset that he can at least find out if there is going to be firearms in the house and therefore could have been used or may end up being used on himself. This can and does save lives. Go ahead and scrap the registry. Why don't we take off their bullet proof vests while we're at it
@ToJ01978 Hey, fuck you idiot. Why would we take away their vest? It stops the illegal handgun shots from killing them? Infact spend money on more vest. Cause we are never gonna stop the handguns comin up from USA or the drug trade. With dumb ass liberal fucks like you having a say. Government has no right whatsoever to have any inventory of anybodies things. Not how much gold everyone has, not how many kitchen knives, or tv's or tampons or guns.
such a sad thing.why can't it be canada in the 1800s everyone older than 18 can get one if they want one.just make the age 22 or 25 to be legal age for guns.lets make canada into a gun country! where no one would commit a crime cause everyone has a gun...
If you actually take the time to STUDY the data it is quite clear.
You cannot look at the States as a single entity. If you look at a County by County Basis you soon learn that those areas with higher gun ownership rates have the LOWEST crime rates of all sorts. Those areas with the most harsh laws in terms of gun laws aimed at lawful use have the higher crime rates.
This is logical considering that those laws to not address criminals
Honestly man, we should not even compare Canada and the US concerning concealed weapons. If we had the crime problems that the US has, particularily concentrated in inner city ghettos, we would all be terrified and carry concealed weapons. The thing is, we do not have that much crime and therefore have no need to have the general populace walking around armed. I would own a gun in Detroit, in Toronto or Hamilton, where I live, it is not needed.
So if a cop shows up at a residence and the owner of the house has a registered firearm that cop may actually take into consideration that there might just be a firearm in the house and, if the call is of the violent variety, he may need to take more caution than if he did not have this information.
As for your fire alarm question, please explain what the fuck you are talking about, I don't speak retarded or whatever language it is your trying unsuccessfully to use.
What added information do you have? The gun may or not be there so you know nothing. You can presume if there is a licensed person at the residence that there "Might" be a gun there but you simply cannot know.
The end result is the billions spent on the registry do not provide any additional information that cannot be found with the LIcensing system.
RE the firealarm.
You predict you do not need CCW in toronto. I wonder how you can be so certain. I cannot predict things
I don't care what people say, if I want I can follow a course to get a license and then go to a gunsmith and buy a Mauser M98 lawfully and use it for sport and hunting. The law prevent the dispersion of firearms in our society by attaching a particular firearm to the name of its owner. That's a good thing, because it imposes a responsability about owning a firearm. Problem is that 2 billions $ for that program is just INSANELY incompetent management of public funds.
You might be doing the right thing, but others won't. If you don't catch my drift, maybe its because you don't know that I am a woman and that I attended and graduated from ECOLE POLYTECHNIQUE DE MONTREAL.
A psycho, a gun and 14 women dead! Remember ?
''How sad is that''? You say?...Well, that's FUCKING SAD and that's what it is !
My daughter is currently entering her third year of University......so the whole concept of such events is close to my heart. However..........As such I have given her the training to be able to better contend with any such event should it occur. A registry does NOT acomplish anything in this regard
Some relatively simple self defense techniques however can along with some knowledge about firearms.
I have thought about our Canadian gun rights & the FACT that we are being restricted & having our God given rights. Rights in the dictionary states "correct in judgment, opinion, or action." The Charter or Rights states "Everyone has the RIGHT to life, liberty & the security of person." Security in the dictionary states "something that secures or makes safe; protection; defense." So why can't we use guns for personal defense?
Also a huge part of everything that encompasses gun ownership comes down to Responsibility and Reason. Intention also plays a part in gun ownership. Obviously criminals don't get gun licenses because they intend to use that gun to commit crime. If one gets their PAL restricted & non-restricted they should have the choice to use that gun for sport, hunting, home, personal defense including conceal or open carry. Unfortunately we do not & our RIGHTS are infringed.
People who believe in gun control are crazy, I'll prove why. If anyone owns a gun, carries a gun on their hip, knows the laws, is responsible to follow the law and even goes for his license is looked upon as a threat, even a possible criminal. Take that same gun place on the hip of a police officer or a military service person and they are Peace keepers & Hero's even though there's hundreds of cases of illegal gun use from the latter. Gun control is not about guns, its about control.
hey i'm from kitchener lol i wish all guns here were legal i would be buying sub machine guns m16s shotguns you name it and just hang them up around the house and if anyone with a gun comes up and threatens me i can fight back or if some people invad my house in the middle of the night they would of picked the wrong home to robb! i'm getting sick of mr harper and the government
The rumor goes that registry is going to be used so that the government knows who owns a firearm (useful for gun confiscation). Other than that...it doesn't do crap.
when a goverment is trying to disarm its nation it means they are up to no good and that just about sums up every conservative agenda ive ever seen lol
@ganjaking187 they are not trying to disarm anyone, the long gun registry is just useless. its not stopping anyone from anything, just costing money...
In this case, it was and still is a Liberal agenda in cooperation with IANSA/the Coalition for Gun Control to disarm the Citizens of the UK, Australia and Canada. Crime rates in the UK and Oz went up after they followed through. Canada is only partly finished with mass confiscation from Canadians.
@MegaPascal31 both the liberals and the conservatives are owned by the same people so either way we are screwed, politics is just show business for ugly people.
@zazszdzfzgzhzjzkzlzx what a politician says and does are 2 different things all parties are corrupt, don't get stuck in the left right paradigm its what they do to keep you confused and stupid if you want freedom take it.
@ganjaking187 Im going to have to diagree, Harper has helped out gun owners several times, and let it slide that they didnt register their firearms, and hes akready tried to abolish the gun registry, but he couldnt do it with a minority government.
Hey everyone lets ban chainsaws, axes, machetes, meat cleavers, knives, broom handles, hammers, bow & arrows, crossbows, sharpened pencils, scissors, large rocks, chains, straight razors, exacto knives, glass bottles, steel toed boots anyone of these can be used as weapons so let's get rid of them quick. The problem is with the criminal mind, not with the object used in the situation. Stupid politicians once again show their true nature of stupidity.
I bet even more people were killed in F-150's than by garden hoses and duct tape, so ban all cars while you're at it.....
Oh and swing sets too, people have died on those too you know - they should start a swing set registry so they can know where all the swing sets are, at all times.
Oh no, stabbing has gone up too, ban kitchen utensils - and can't forget about electricity, very dangerous stuff there lemmie tell you...
Citizens have the right to defense by any means necessary. Period.
@EESASTORM - While you at it ban, crossbows, knives, swords, machetes, axes, chain saws, x-acto knives, razors, scissors, pencils, hammers, screw drivers, bottles, lawn mowers, matches, butane torches, arc welders, cylinder blocks, bricks, 2x4 lumber, baseball bats, rope, steel chains, cars, trucks, gasoline, kerosene, rolling pins for baking, bowling balls, golf clubs, cricket bats, croquet hammer...etc. We all know these incite crimes also. Then will the world be a safer place! lol
@EESASTORM That's a particularly useless way of approaching this subject ... if a person wants to kill THEMSELVES, they can do it locked in a cell .. just by not eating/drinking.
Do killers use duct tape and hoses to kill other people in any numbers in your country?? Now, how about hand guns?
If it is so useless then why do the antis try to use the argument the FIREARM suicide rate has dropped. Of course they ignore the fact that the TOTAL has actually gone up.
Handguns are EXTREMELY rarely used by lawful people to hurt people. Such that it is statistically insignificant.
So If a Cop goes to a domestic dispute, he can tell if the home owner(s) has firearms or not. How does the officer know if there is a Pitbull behind the door too? The stats for legal firearms owners committing crimes is extremely low.
Actually the registry would not tell an officer if there is a gun in the house or not. The Registry does not tie the gun to a location only to a p erson. I can store my guns ANYWHERE I want and be totally legal. Of cousre it also does nothing at all to track the 13 million guns that were never registered.
The liberal party has aimed it's gun control laws at farmers, hunters and collectors. Mostly rural white guys the Liberals have no use for them anyway. The same Liberals have set up refugee status that lets anyone from the 3rd world into this country as long as they are non white. They completely ignore the fact that we are importing our crime from the 3rd world. Hello Jane & Finch crime capital of Canada. Thank you very much Pierre Trudeau & the corrupt brain dead liberal party.
@qwuad61 - I have a question. I am totally opposed to the registry because all it is, is a list for them to know where to go to confiscate your guns. This is the primary reason I have not gone to get my license. I don't want to be enforced with their illegal policies. If you have your license, purchase a gun & don't register can you be arrested? Is it illegal? Thanks
There are so many people that have not registered firearms or only registered some that it is impossible to police. Nothing is impossible but with bill c-68 going down the shitter in a big way I would't worry about it. best regards.
By "borrow" a gun are you being serious or sarcastic? I don't want a stolen gun if that's what you mean, & I don't know anyone who owns one who would let me borrow theirs. If I use it they will get into trouble. I wouldn't be irresponsible with it, I would like to go hunting or to a range, the very few we have left (Thanks harper). I spoke to my friend tonight, looks like enough people are against the registry so it looks like they're going to scrap it. Then I'm getting my license. No watch list
Well this post just goes to show that you have a bit to learn about the situation.
1) The NRA Charter spells out in quite clear terms that they CANNOT work outside of the USA. So not only WILL they not come to help but they CANNOT come to help directly.
2) the image of the NRA in Canada outside of the shooting community is almost 100% negative. To change that would require too much energy that would be best directed elsewhere.
3) The NRA is sort of busy right now with their own fight.
What I meant by that is we need one large organized group. We have several small groups who have horrible web pages that are updated rarely. What I think should happen is they all join together under a name that doesn't associate with NRA because of its negative image in Canada. We really need more unity, which is what Americans have (on this issue anyways) because of the NRA. Close to a third of Canadians own guns, that is a large enough group to fund a well organized group.
The USA has many many groups as well. As Sandi Froman (ex pres ) of the NRA said when she was in Canada. ..."The NRA is not large because it is successful. It is successful because it is large.
It is actually quite easy to understand when you think about it. Gun owners in general tend to be independant thinkers......that means organizing them is as they say like "herding cats".
We have the NFA , the CSSA and the CASD among others. If your a Canadian that believes in your right to own guns and self defence then you should get off your ass and join these groups, these people are fighting for our rights. Join the fight, donate money, get behind your organization. There is power in numbers. Join before its too late!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The long gun registry is a "feel good" law. It does nothing to actually stop crime in this country.
The real problem is the illegal guns, criminals don't buy legal registered guns to commit crimes.
The odd time a legal registered gun owner flips out and kills his family, which does happen, the gun registry wouldn't help/prevent that.
Think about this logically, what, does this registry do?? seriously. What does it help? The government knows who owns guns by who has a gun license.

Concealed carry DOES work in the USA.
If you actually take the time to STUDY the data it is quite clear.
You cannot look at the States as a single entity. If you look at a County by County Basis you soon learn that those areas with higher gun ownership rates have the LOWEST crime rates of all sorts. Those areas with the most harsh laws in terms of gun laws aimed at lawful use have the higher crime rates.
This is logical considering that those laws to not address criminals

@EESASTORM,
Honestly man, we should not even compare Canada and the US concerning concealed weapons. If we had the crime problems that the US has, particularily concentrated in inner city ghettos, we would all be terrified and carry concealed weapons. The thing is, we do not have that much crime and therefore have no need to have the general populace walking around armed. I would own a gun in Detroit, in Toronto or Hamilton, where I live, it is not needed.

@EESASTORM,
So if a cop shows up at a residence and the owner of the house has a registered firearm that cop may actually take into consideration that there might just be a firearm in the house and, if the call is of the violent variety, he may need to take more caution than if he did not have this information.
As for your fire alarm question, please explain what the fuck you are talking about, I don't speak retarded or whatever language it is your trying unsuccessfully to use.
ToJ01978 1 year ago
@ToJ01978
What added information do you have? The gun may or not be there so you know nothing. You can presume if there is a licensed person at the residence that there "Might" be a gun there but you simply cannot know.
The end result is the billions spent on the registry do not provide any additional information that cannot be found with the LIcensing system.
RE the firealarm.
You predict you do not need CCW in toronto. I wonder how you can be so certain. I cannot predict things

I don't care what people say, if I want I can follow a course to get a license and then go to a gunsmith and buy a Mauser M98 lawfully and use it for sport and hunting. The law prevent the dispersion of firearms in our society by attaching a particular firearm to the name of its owner. That's a good thing, because it imposes a responsability about owning a firearm. Problem is that 2 billions $ for that program is just INSANELY incompetent management of public funds.

Also sad was the fact that Gamil Gabri was allowed to continue on his murderous efforts with NOBODY trying to stop him.
The police following the theory of the time just cordoned off the area and let him run amok.
The real problem was his upbringing and lack of mental health programs.

I have thought about our Canadian gun rights & the FACT that we are being restricted & having our God given rights. Rights in the dictionary states "correct in judgment, opinion, or action." The Charter or Rights states "Everyone has the RIGHT to life, liberty & the security of person." Security in the dictionary states "something that secures or makes safe; protection; defense." So why can't we use guns for personal defense?

Also a huge part of everything that encompasses gun ownership comes down to Responsibility and Reason. Intention also plays a part in gun ownership. Obviously criminals don't get gun licenses because they intend to use that gun to commit crime. If one gets their PAL restricted & non-restricted they should have the choice to use that gun for sport, hunting, home, personal defense including conceal or open carry. Unfortunately we do not & our RIGHTS are infringed.
D33Lux 1 year ago 3
People who believe in gun control are crazy, I'll prove why. If anyone owns a gun, carries a gun on their hip, knows the laws, is responsible to follow the law and even goes for his license is looked upon as a threat, even a possible criminal. Take that same gun place on the hip of a police officer or a military service person and they are Peace keepers & Hero's even though there's hundreds of cases of illegal gun use from the latter. Gun control is not about guns, its about control.

The law creates several classes of PROHIBITED firearms.
Those cannot be sold to "new" owners only those who are grandfathered to own them by virture of having them before the law.
In the end it will come down to ONE last owner.........when he/she dies all will have been confiscated.
Of course that has been going on for 15 years. But just this year new issues like the Type 97 have come up proving our point.

So If a Cop goes to a domestic dispute, he can tell if the home owner(s) has firearms or not. How does the officer know if there is a Pitbull behind the door too? The stats for legal firearms owners committing crimes is extremely low.

Actually the registry would not tell an officer if there is a gun in the house or not. The Registry does not tie the gun to a location only to a p erson. I can store my guns ANYWHERE I want and be totally legal. Of cousre it also does nothing at all to track the 13 million guns that were never registered.

Is it illegal? Thanks

I spoke to my friend tonight, looks like enough people are against the registry so it looks like they're going to scrap it. Then I'm getting my license. No watch list

Anyone with a license can borrow a gun from anyone else with a license as long as at least a copy of the reg cert travels with it.

fatoni698 2 years ago 3
Well this post just goes to show that you have a bit to learn about the situation.
1) The NRA Charter spells out in quite clear terms that they CANNOT work outside of the USA. So not only WILL they not come to help but they CANNOT come to help directly.
2) the image of the NRA in Canada outside of the shooting community is almost 100% negative. To change that would require too much energy that would be best directed elsewhere.
3) The NRA is sort of busy right now with their own fight.

EESASTORM 2 years ago 2
What I meant by that is we need one large organized group. We have several small groups who have horrible web pages that are updated rarely. What I think should happen is they all join together under a name that doesn't associate with NRA because of its negative image in Canada. We really need more unity, which is what Americans have (on this issue anyways) because of the NRA. Close to a third of Canadians own guns, that is a large enough group to fund a well organized group.
