Scrapping of Canadian gun registry begins

Canada's newly elected Conservative government took its first steps Wednesday to scrap the country's costly and controversial long-gun registry, beginning with a one-year amnesty for those who have not yet registered their non-restricted firearms.

Public Safety Minister Stockwell Day said yesterday that the Tories plan to introduce legislation to totally eliminate the program brought in by Jean Chrétien's Liberal Party 11 years ago.

But until the legislation makes its way through Parliament, Day announced a number of measures that would effectively gut the registry, including a $10 million cut to its operating budget.

Under the newly announced provisions, long-gun owners will no longer have to pay for registration and will not be prosecuted for non-registration. In addition, the government will provide refunds to those who already have registered their firearms.

Called a Billion Dollar Boondoggle by its detractors, the tab for gun control since Parliament approved it in 1995 hit $946 million in March 2005. Today, the program operates on an annual budget of about $83 million. FORUM | MAILBAG

Kinda a pain in the butt here.Supposed to renew the gun ticket this year but don't know if I need to.

[jwilliams]

according to that article you wouldn't. It would be a big step to eliminating some of the Kennedyism the liberal govt. put in the past 12 years. Glad you got rid of that group, chief Harv.

Thank heavens! What we need is more guns. I woke up this morning and there was not a gun in sight. I got all cold and scared. It was awful! I finally got my 12 guage elephant gun out and I felt all strong and studly again.

We just can't allow the Left to trample our rights. Remember, guns don't kill. [img]graemlins/jerkin.gif[/img]

No way, we have too many guns already... what we need is to shoot more people with the guns we have, oh and more accurately than we have been as well.

If only the ducks had guns.
