I actually gained a tuny amount of respect for OBL (Osama Bin Layton) when he got his face out there by saying his guys can vote how the want. Then to come back and say he "Persuaded" them to tow the company line. What can you say? At least he's honest about it. Lol. Still a clown

If they start a tennis racket registry I'll be all for it because I don't own one!

Well, when tennis rackets kill almost a thousand Canadians in a five year period, they might just be one.

A rather sad attempt at ducking the issue I think...

Drunk driving is something much more serious IMO. If a "bad guy" wants a gun, he's gonna get one.

In the same 5 year period there were more stabbings than shootings. Where's the knife registery?

Jack cannot win the vote if the real numbers were presented. A 2006 Stats Can study said this: "The use of handguns surpassed rifles or shotguns for the first time in 1991. By 2006, three times as many victims were killed with a handgun than with a rifle or shotgun." Also, in the same study, police services said this: Canadian police services reported just over 8,100 victims of violent gun crime, ranging from assault to robbery and homicide, accounting for 2.4% of all victims of violence. Handguns made up nearly two-thirds of all firearms used.

Nobody’s "ducking the issue" except the people with their heads in the sand that have never had to deal with the registry.

How many of the thousand people were killed with legally registered guns?

Did it matter to them if it was registered?

Hurley, the big difference is scrapping the gun registry was part of the CPC party policy. The constituents KNEW that when voting for them. The NDP MP's are switching their vote AGAINST their constituents wishes.

So this isn't a matter of the CPC whipping the vote but a matter of party policy.

I`ll call bullshit if you think the CPC has not gone against their constituent`s wishes at some point - i.e. Economic Stimulus spending...

Oh, so if you're a Conservative MP, there's one set of rules, and if you're an NDP MP there's another? The former beign that as a matter of party policy you're bound to oppose the registry, but as an NDP MP you're supposed to listen the the consitutents that elected you?

Bull. Shit.

NDP MP Stoffer has just said he's voting FOR the registry because THAT'S what his consituents want, even though he's personally against it. But even then, the NDP as a party has always supported the registry (just as the Liberals and Bloc have).

So what it really boils down to is that the anti-registry side just doesn't care what an MP's personal beliefs are, what their constituents' beliefs are, what their party's beliefs are, just as long as they can bully that MP into voting against the registry. That's all that matters. Vote against the registry or you suck.

Hypocrites.

Stimulus spending, taxing income trusts, renegging on fixed election dates, appointing unelected senators, and probably more but that's just what comes off the top of my head...

sure Hurley, in fact Stoffer went AGAINST his own constituent by voting to keep it, not the other way round!

Oh really?

NDP MP Stoffer will vote to save gun registry NDP MP Stoffer will vote to save gun registry:

Nova Scotia New Democrat MP Peter Stoffer says he's personally opposed to the long-gun registry, but he won't vote to scrap it because most of his constituents support it.

Stoffer, MP for Sackville-Eastern Shore, announced his position on Monday, ahead of a vote in the House of Commons.

Stoffer said the registry gives people a false sense of security. However, he said, 62 per cent of his constituents want to save the registry and tweak it instead.

"At the end of the day, I have to represent my constituents," he said.
