SWF praises move to end 'intrusive' long-gun registry (fwd)
Dear Sir/Madame,
I love it when the opposition go off half cocked and publicly say really stupid things. It seems that Mr. Breitkreuz's Bill C-301 really has the opposition spinning:
NDP leader Jack Layton suggests that "would make it easier to carry semi-automatic weapons through school zones in our cities". No, Jack.
Restricted firearms must be transported only in a locked container, either disassembled, or with a trigger lock, and the ammunition must be separate from the firearm. At least for law abiding owners, that is. I think the students will continue to be safe from licensed owners. As for the gang-bangers -- they don't seem too concerned.
Liberal MP Marc Holland suggests that the gun registry is "an important tool that officers use every single day to enforce prohibition orders".
Sorry, Marc, wrong again! When a person is under a prohibition order, their firearm license (if they ever had one) is rescinded, and the person is
*REMOVED* from the registry. Had the liberals registered criminals instead of the law abiding, Holland might have been correct, but as with many things, the Liberals got it completely backwards.
Opposition angst over C-301 is overstated, ill-advised, silly, and most of the time, just plain wrong. This bill would bring some much needed stream-lining to the the Firearms Act, and save Canadians millions annually.
It will not decrease the public safety in any way, mostly because the firearms act was never in any way concerned with the public safety to begin with, but rather an over-reaction by Alan Rock who publicly stated that he didn't like the idea of civilian firearm ownership. Then again, neither did Stalin, Mao, Hitler or Pol Pot.
Sincerely,
