I think it's incredibly naive to believe (that rhymed) that this database would just vanish, like a fart in the breeze, just because the legislature declared it over. Give your heads a shake. Now that it exists, the database will not be killed by a parliamentary vote.

I think it will be, the gun registry is run by the RCMP which if not a full government agency partly so. There are pretty strict legislation and guidelines regarding records and documents. Once the retention period of these documents expires they have to be destroyed. Historical documents are the exemption of course, these type of records wouldn't fall into that category.

[Lemmy]

Maybe. I can't see something that cost a gazzillion dollars being simply deleted, despite what they might tell the public.

I think they would risk some serious legal trouble if they didn't destroy it and were caught using it for something else.

Not really.

There was a precedence set during WWII. When people enlisted and were fingerprinted they were told their fingerprints would be destroyed after cesation of hostilities yet, after the war those same supposedly destroyed fingerprints were used to catch numerous criminals who, had done their part for Queen and Country.

Strangely enough nothing happened to the Government of the day which just happened to be William Lyon Mackenzie King's Liberal Government, so that may explain alot.

True enough

I wouldn't be suprised that the Liberal Party of Canada used those fingerprints to put some of those same criminals at the end of a very long stout rope.

Liberal my ass, like you said they make our current CPC look like the Sisters of Charity.

Can you explain the relevance? If Chretien had crushed a valuable programme that had the support of the great majority of the population and had a benefit similar to this one that is a proven reducer of homicides against women (mostly) and of suicides, what would you have said then?

And why do you and some others consistently resort to these strawman leaps?

In your first paragraph you create a strawman argument and in your second paragraph you denounce strawman arguments.

Just thought I'd do a public service and point that out.

How altruistic of you, Bart. Now, try to extend that by showing how the first paragraph is a strawman.

I ma going to have to remove hard facts from that wall you keep hitting your head against and replace them with cushions or you will have a permanent concussion.

So the three of you can't between find a support for Bart's misstatement?

As always, revert to the schoolyard when your synapses freeze up.

[ShepherdsDog]

Fuck you're thick. Did someone kick your ass and give you a traumatic brain injury?

[eureka]

And that is your idea of what a strawman is? It is the limit of your knowledge of the topic?

$1:

A straw man is a component of an argument and is an informal fallacy based on misrepresentation of an opponent's position.[1] To "attack a straw man" is to create the illusion of having refuted a proposition by replacing it with a superficially similar yet unequivalent proposition (the "straw man"), and refuting it, without ever having actually refuted the original position.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straw_man

So, your first paragraph you make up a hypothetical scenario using false data that YOU KNOW is false, and expect a response that is impossible to refute. That the logical fallacy called a 'strawman', which you expect people to attack. Except, we aren't that new.

As I've said before; the beauty of the logical argument is that if done properly, any position can be the logically correct position and therefore correct. Which is why you are always wrong.

[uwish]

it doesn't matter what Qc wants, the SCC has already ruled that firearms law(s) are the sole jurisdiction of the federal government. PERIOD.

[uwish]

eureka eureka:

Maybe they did. It is almost the percentage who did vote against the Conservatives.

Be that as it may! What do you call a government that rides roughshod over the Will of the people?

so it was ok for the liberals to ram it down when they had a majority despite vast opposition to it in 1995 but now, it's not ok?

sorry you can't have it your way all the time.

[PluggyRug]

Quebec needs to keep track of it's 3 muzzle loaders.

[Bodah]

I don't know why Qc would want to start their own expensive registry, they have more important issues to tackle, collapsing concrete, corrupt construction industry. They should invest money in these things first.
