Re: Long Gun Registry

Well it looks like the Long Gun Registry has been scrapped due to a vote in the House Of Commons YEAS=159 NAYS=130. I guess anyone can buy a gun now and shoot someone and the RCMP won't do anything about it because they won't kno who owns it.
The registry was a joke, I'm glad it is gone. Gun control in Canada is more about politics and the appearance of getting dangerous weapons out of the hands of psychos than real safety. For example, I own two firearms, an FN-FAL and an SKS. Both are semi-automatic, gas operated, magazine fed. The FAL is prohibited and the SKS is not even restricted. It makes no sense. Especially considering the SKS is more concealable (spelling?) than the FAL.

Doug
