Canadian Long Gun Registry : ( Archived) (29)

I know nothing about Canadas laws regarding this issue,but there are a few websites that attempt to clear up the state to state confusion here in the US. As an example here in Arizona we dont register guns at at all and assuming you have nothing in your background to preclude it, if your 21 or over can carry consealed without a permit.On the other hand they do have a permit process if you want additional places to carry a gun.

The Canadian Long Gun Registry,....a multi-BILLION dollar waste of money,...will soon be no more. A government attempt at "counting the guns" held by the citizens veiled under the guise of "a crime prevention initiative". I am not against the registration of weapons,...but the way this fiasco was introduced and handled was quite sad, pathetic,...and of great cost to the citizens of Canada with no benefit acheived.

It actually has been hunting season for quite some time,....with those silent but very deadly bows! And as another tidbit for discussion,...look up violent crime (including homicide) in Canada and you will see that KNIVES are actually the more utilized weapon,....hmmm,...maybe the government should consider a kitchen and hunting knife registry,...(just teasing,...I hear its already on its way! )

interesting. what or where are these additional places?
thanks
;-}

yeah,,when they manipulate you like that it is a fine line to walk.

Agree totally. It was a bad policy from the moment of conception. It belongs in the same realm as a sword registry, or one for butcher knives and meat cleavers and razor edged cutters.
Having 'grown up' with the US NRA and learning all about all types of guns in the Scouts, I see no valid coherent thought behind any registration, with the sole exception of full automatic weapons, cannons, rockets etc. so easily attainable on the US surplus market at bargain basement prices; but simply for inventory purposes; same as when one buys a tank, one must sign Federal docs. to dismantle any weapons systems that may still be operating,( strange logic in that, that restriction does not apply to hand grenades if one buys them from an authorized arms dealer). All countries should need no more laws or restrictions that Switzerland has. Unfortunately, several countries have a gun-worshiping, violence prone 'shoot-em-up' attitudes history, which is the antitheses of the population of the Swiss and most European populations. Yet, most European countries don't dare be as free in their gun laws(gun control) ...go figure

Hey solitare,....it is quite refreshing to hear an informed voice!
