This allowed the feds to start the biggest illegal seizure of constitutional powers (i.e. the regulation of private property is an exclusive provincial matter) via the gun registry and to squander 1,8 billion$. Yup the federal gun registry was supposed to only cost 18 000$.<br />It got so bad that the auditor general basically refused to accept any testimony from the bureaucrats in charge because they were basically liars (though she didn't use the word it was soooo obvious)<br />Thanks to Harper it was killed off. <br /><br />Quebec was so huffed that it wanted to recreate it. Fine as it should've been in the beginning. However, the last I heard, there was no Quebec gun registry (because it was super expensive; a bureaucratic nightmare that makes the new cadastre a model of streamlined efficency and hunting is quite popular in Quebec and the remote areas need it for self protection against bears, moose and caribou) <br /><br />Since the Polytechnique massacre, there was one more attempt (McGill or Dawson college) but the local SWAT cops reacted so quickly that they killed the scumbag in less than 30 minutes chasing him through the campus). Ever since then NO MASSACRES have occurred even with the country's onerous and useless gun control laws.<br /><br />So yeah, I'm really exasperated about how our betters(tm) think so little of us that they want us dead so they can show off how peaceloving they are in contrast to the Americans.<br />Europe is an even more tragic example of gun free zone<br />xavierAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8736129185935358578.post-52535818191250552832018-02-21T22:57:03.018-08:002018-02-21T22:57:03.018-08:00Pristine here.

I am a Texan and while I don't own a gun nor have the desire to ever use one (sensitive hearing and I grew up fearing them honestly), I do support the 2nd Amendment a lot. We have the right to defend ourselves. Do you remember that shooting in Sutherland Springs, Texas, it actually happened less then 5 minutes away from where I lived (my brother, who is stationed in Florida, actually called my parents to see if we were okay after hearing the news). As sad as the tragedy was, it could have been worse if it wasn't for a few law abiding locals, the first actually armed himself, which caused the shooter to drop his gun, everyone in the Church might have been killed. It really shook the community. I am a La Vernia citizen but the two towns are closely knitted together (and I am connected to a few of the victims, plus my cousin is a volunteer EMT and was the first on the scene. I can't imagine how he felt going into that church). Thank God we live in a country where citizens are able to protect themselves. The bad guys will always find a way to get guns, no matter how many laws ya'll want to add.Tiffany195https://www.blogger.com/profile/14916666214712121771noreply@blogger.com
