Registering will not stop crime just make finding that stolen guns, owner easier to bad we do not get serious about gun crimes .

Fail? Stats Canada would disagree. Crime is decreasing in Canada, despite what Steve tells you about the sky falling.

[uwish]

Crime was always decreasing in Canada, and since the FA the decrease actually SLOWED.

dont confuse them with the facts

my apologies, sometimes I think individuals think for themselves and do research and not take politicians at their word.

my mistake.

Statistics....

20% of road fatalties are caused by drunk drivers.

Therefore 80% are not, that means we should all get drunk

Crime has been decreasing since a long time. Longer than the Firearms Act.

It gives the police the ability to seize weapons without first proving that they have been used in a crime. I'm absolutely fine with that. I'm also fine with them having to pay to register them. So are the majority of Canadians.

The only reason the cons haven't got rid of it is because they know damn well it would be a very unpopular move. I think they should though, it will help ensure the usual 2 term Conservative blip, then back to a sane government.

eeeeh you have proofs for that ? Every polls they did about the registry lately were for its scrapping. And I'm in Quebec !!! Not a very conservative place...

Oh and I'm still waiting a case where the registry saved a life after almost 10 years !

If definitive proof of saving a life is the only justification for law, then we'll need to get rid of a whole bunch of them.
