Canada's $2 billion long-gun registry

The long gun registry was originally estimated to cost $2 million. This cost has ballooned to over $2 billion. The long gun registry is supposed to keep tabs on non-restricted rifles and shotguns owned by hunters and farmers, and it can't even do that properly! Scrap the long gun registry and put more money into real crime-fighting programs.

Or force every housewife to register her kitchen knives.

Long gun registry is a massive joke. A friend of mine has a percussion cap musket and he had to register it. EVEN IF IT IS STOLEN, WHO THE FUCK IS GOING TO COMMIT A CRIME WITH A FUCKING MUSKET?

My uncle lives in Alberta, and he says that when an Asian gang member does a hit on a rival, he just goes into a restaurant where his target is enjoying a nice meal, walks right up to him and plugs him in the head point blank with an illegally acquired handgun, then he walks out and drives off before anyone has a chance to call the cops. Gee, I wonder how they can get those unregistered handguns in the first place? I mean, who would ever think that these guys wouldn't obey the law?! I wonder.

@spiderpig85 fuck you never know in 2011 not to long ago a guy got shot in T.O with a crossbow.

@themanfromwyoming Touche' Well said man. Criminals will always access guns. Tax paying citizens should have those same free rights. I think its Switzerland where every citizen gets a hand gun. One of the lowest crime rates in teh world!!! no gang members gonna have the same confidence, when Joe Blow the waiter might have a fuckin Glok in his work locker. Its not even the fact that a gun would protect him, its the idea that once criminals know we are at a disadvantage, they take advantage.

This act and the Anti- Terrorism Act are two steps to a police state in Canada akin to that found in Britain.
