How
to get a gun: `If you're in the know, it's fairly easy'
"The number of guns seized this year is quite overwhelming," said
homicide squad boss Staff Inspector Robert Clarke, during a news conference
yesterday at police headquarters. "If you look at the number of guns seized
and the amount of ammunition taken off the streets, you shudder to think
of what would have happened if these strategies weren't in place." If you're
in the know, in the right part of the city, it's fairly easy (to get a
gun)," said Staff Inspector Rick Gauthier. And he said it's getting easier
and cheaper, with prices ranging from $100 to 1,000. Most of the guns seized
originated south of the border and are in the hands of criminals associated
with drugs and gangs, said Gauthier.(The Liberal
Firearms Act has, and will continue to ensure the supply of guns on the
street forever. Now that formerly law abiding citizens will unlikely want
to incriminate themselves, any unregistered firearms will probably never
be reported if stolen.. Why report a unregistered firearm if stolen? Well,
they say you 'may' be charged if you don't. On the other hand, you 'will'
be charged if you do! The result? Even More guns on the street. Who wants
to face 10 years in prison, if a thief breaks into their home and
steals a gun? People laugh at pot-heads dumb enough to call the cops when
someone steals their 'dope'! What would be the difference? )
Alberta
MLA plans to defy gun law
"I've had a lot of people phone my office and ask me what they should
do and I've told them I'm not registering and I'm not getting a licence,"
he said in an interview. "So I guess that makes them feel better because
they know they're not going to be alone."And this is one way of letting
everybody know that it's all right to not do it. It doesn't mean you're
immoral." I just felt it would probably be pretty significant to have a
lawmaker who swore an oath to uphold the law. . . break the law. That's
going to get some public attention," he said. "I've been advised that on
the political front, I will either be the first person in this country
arrested because they'll want to make an example of me or they won't touch
me with a 10-foot pole because they're worried about 90 per cent of rural
Canadians backing me and getting really upset." He also told organizations
that oppose the gun law -- groups eager for someone to be charged under
the Firearms Act so they can mount a court challenge -- that he was thinking
of declaring his defiance of the law. While his goal is to create change,
not get himself arrested, he said he would be willing to participate in
such a lawsuit. "I'll fight this all the way to the Supreme Court. I'm
not just going to lay down and go to jail for 10 years," he said.(The
families of the 14 women killed in Montreal say this Law is a monument
to their lives! When in fact it's truly a monument to the hysteria created
by ONE life. That was the life of Gamil
Gharbi, the son of a Algerian Muslim wife-beater who obviously had
been taught from birth that women were a sub-species to be dominated and
controlled by men, He then changed his legal name to 'Marc Lepine',
received his FAC, bought a Ruger Mini 14 and started shooting people.
This 'person' represents the average gun owner about as much as Paul Bernardo
represents the average young man! You want a monument to the lives of these
women? Build a Statue that people can look at every day, and remember,
- remember, that under C-68, the currrent Liberal Firearms Act, Gamil
Gharbi, A.K.A. Marc Lepine, could STILL get a P.A.L. As a
matter of fact, he would not even have needed a P.A.L., he would have been
given a P.O.L by the government, for $10.00 and kept his Ruger Mini 14.
Or, simply bought a gun on the street as most criminals do in the expanding
black market largely created by the ridiculous firearms laws in this
country. Is this 'really' the monument you want to represent those 14 young
women? Think about it!)
Gun
owners plan New Year's protest
While most owners of unregistered guns
will quietly run afoul of the law on New Year's Day, a small band of
protesters plans to risk jail with a bonfire on Parliament Hill. Mr. Hutton,
who expects licence-burning rallies in other cities, argued that
the vast majority of gun owners are upstanding citizens who are unlikely
to participate in such rallies. "I don't know if these people would be
willing to stand up and take a chance of going to jail." Mr. Hutton suggested
that some gun owners may undertake another form of protest to gum
up the system: sending scores of notices of intention to register firearms
in the names of people who do not own guns. Jim Hinter, president
of the National Firearms Association, said his organization has no plans
to mark Jan. 1. "I don't think it's really symbolic, except of failure."(What
about you? Have 'you' mailed in your 'letter of intent' confessing that
you have unregistered firearms, and where to find them? The fact that you
'intend' to register them 'someday' means nothing. THE LAW SAYS YOU ARE
A CRIMINAL ON JANUARY 1, 2003 and the criminal code says 'nothing' about
a "letter of intent" being acceptable. I would accept this offer with a
good deal of 'Cauchon'.
This 'could' be a trick by the liberal gun-o-phobes to incriminate yourself,
and eventually have your property confiscated. Do you Trust This Government
THAT much?.. Have they ever lied to YOU or PARLIAMENT before? I rest my
case!)
Canadians
blame waste for health woes
Michael Sullivan, a partner with Toronto-based Strategic Counsel,
said in an interview the recent federal spending scandals -- such as the
gun registry boondoggle -- have "reawakened for Canadians the whole issue
of waste and abuse.(Canadians are simply not
going to bend over and take it in the ass as they have in the past. Canadians
would support a registry if there was one iota of proof that it was obtaining
'value' for the money spent. It has not, and never will meet that criteria.
It was, and still is, simply another harebrained personal agenda plan,
of Canada's Minister of Waste: Allan Rock)
Don't
blow the surplus
The Liberals have thrown away billions on bogus make-work grants
and unaudited transfers to native bands. Billions have also been wasted
on: payments to fishermen thrown out of work, thanks to federal mismanagement
of Atlantic fish stocks; on questionable infrastructure programs; on dubious
business investments by federal regional development offices; and on shady
payments for federal sponsorship contracts, particularly in Quebec, where
some are now under criminal investigation. The Canadian International Development
Agency often seems to act as a slush fund for contracts to the government's
friends, and the Employment Insurance Fund has been permitted to run a
$42-billion surplus without justification -- or appreciably lower premiums.
Then, of course, there is the federal gun registry!(Yes!
Then, of course, there is the federal gun registry! Now added as an almost
per functionary statement to every example of Liberal waste. And Rightly
So! The registry HAS become a national symbol of Liberal waste. If allowed
to continue, it will also become a national symbol for Liberal arrogance)
And
the "Culture of Safety" Continues
TORONTO -- One man was killed and two other men were shot in separate
weekend incidents, the latest in a rash of shootings in the city in the
last three months. Anthony Williams, 20, was shot near his
east-end apartment complex Saturday night. Less than 24 hours
later, two more men were found shot in the east end. Williams's death
is the city's 60th homicide, the 28th by a gun. (28
Gun Deaths, and not ONE of them by a legal gun owner.. Oh ya this
gun control thing is 'really' working.. And the Liberals think that this
is a billion dollars well spent, and saving lots of lives(?) I think
there are at least 28 people and their families in Toronto that would disagree
with them!)
Gun
registration line flooded
Det.-Const. Randy Carson of Barrie city police
said the crush of people trying to register their weapons just days before
the Dec. 31 deadline had overloaded the system. “It’s completely
jammed, a huge problem,” he said. “I’ve been trying to get through all
(Friday) morning.” Police forces in Canada have never been big supporters
of the gun registry, because most of those police deal with have
illegal weapons. “The criminal element is never going to register
their firearms, whether it’s handguns, rifles or shotguns,” Carson said.
“It just doesn’t matter.” (It ONLY Matters
to the Liberals, and the urban yuppy ignorant. I have never met a police
officer that thinks this is going to be of any use to them what-so-ever.
All Agree, it simply a HUGE waste of tax dollars that could be better spent
on just about anything else)
I would like to wish the readers
of this page All the best of the season, and
a quick demise to this firearms farce in 2003.
All indicators point to the
abandonment of the registry by April.
The Liberals KNOW they
can't waste that much money, and create THAT
many Criminals without severe political repercussions. Any politician
that will support more money to this farce in the next budget is facing
a huge backlash from his or her constituents

Dec.
27th: Ooops!! It's Not an Amnesty But....
Until December 31, 2002, licensed individuals who are attempting
to register their firearms or who are seeking application forms may contact
the Canadian Firearms Centre in writing and submit a statement setting
out their intention to apply for registration. Such a written statement
will satisfy the terms of the grace period announced by the Minister on
November 29, 2002. However, individuals who send a statement of intention
will still be required to submit a registration form for their firearms.(In
OTHER words, we can't handle the flow, but if your willing
to identify and incriminate yourself before the end of the year,
and 'tell' us you have unregistered guns, but are honestly going to eventually
register them someday, we won't
arrest you and the other million new criminals, and spend another billion
or two for prisons to house you for a while yet!! I know we look stupid
for doing this but 'trust us' have we 'ever' lied to you before.. well....
forget all those other times.... We're honest now.. Now, what happens to
all the people that mail a letter and say ya! I'm gonna register, but the
letter gets lost in the confusion at the cfc, and never gets acknowledged?
After all, they have lost entire files on gun owners from their records,
and there are STILL owners waiting for the $10.00 POL that have been lost
in this black hole.. I'm sure that EVERYONE that gets hassled for unregistered
firearms, will attest to have sent the required letter of intent, but it
was lost in the bureaucracy as usual. After all, the CFC has a well known
reputation for losing stuff, and YOUR stuff is no different than all the
OTHER stuff they have lost! This is the most 'Pathetic' attempt I have
ever seen any government do, in an attempt coerce people into complying
with a Bad, Useless, Ineffective, Paranoid, Stupid, Expensive Law,

Spokesman David Austin said in a telephone interview from Ottawa
that the federal government is not ready to turn the operation over to
a private-sector consortium which, at one stage, planned to take over much
of the operation as of Jan. 1. Austin said the government is not ready
to accept BDP's "business solution" to run the licensing and registration
regime under the firearms act. "Decision pending, I guess,
is the best way I can put it ... it won't happen at the first of the new
year," Austin said. Austin estimated that 150 to 180 people work
at the Miramichi site now. The long-term solution for the Canadian
Firearms Centre must await the outcome of a ministerial review.
The review came after Auditor General Sheila Fraser released a report saying
the government did not inform Parliament of the growing cost of implementing
the Canadian Firearms Act, which became law in 1995. (Couldn't
resist just this one more link over the holiday.. The government does NOT
have the parliamentary authority or the money to turn this fiasco over
to the private sector anymore! MerryChristmas!!!)
Allan
Rock: Canada's 'Minister of Waste', Has done it Again!!
It is the biggest venture capital disaster ever. Bigger than Benchmark
Capital. A financial assault worse than Battery Ventures. Which storied
investment firm am I talking about? Kleiner Perkins, perhaps? VenGrowth?
Why, Technology Partnerships Canada (TPC), of course. Because on a $1.8-billion
investment portfolio, the six-year-old taxpayer-backed Industry Canada
fund has had returns of less than $30-million. You could do better throwing
darts at money-market funds.this is bankrupt and discredited economic policy.
It is regional economic development, environmental policy and innovation
lust, all hidden inside a giant rabbit called Technology Partnerships Canada.
And what is particularly frightening is that TPC is efficiently delivered
bankrupt economic policy -- at least according to the 1999 auditor-general's
report. So, while TPC is making indefensible investments, it is doing so
cost-effectively, thus allowing it to stay below the auditor radar, only
showing up if you actually contemplate how it is intruding into the private
sector. Because if these are such fine investments, why won't the banks
make them -- or the companies themselves? It is because they don't need
to -- TPC will do it for them. And in doing so, TPC could yet pull off
the remarkable feat of making Canada's gun registration program look like
value for money.(The man with the reverse Midas Touch
creates another steaming pile of crap!! A 30 million return on a 1.8 Billion
investment, a 0.2776% per year return over a six year period is simply
incredible! A simple savings account would give you 4% a year, or half
a billion dollars over the same 6 years.
"The fiscal incompetence of
the Liberal government is simply astounding")
Canadian
gun owners prepare for civil disobedience over registration
"Reality bites," Austin said in an interview.
"So here's reality. Ninety per cent of the firearms owners in this country
have licences. Seventy per cent have registration certificates already."
But Muir says the truth is nobody really knows how many people haven't
registered their guns. He estimates that at least 300,000 unlicensed gun
owners have a total of about one million unregistered firearms. (Sorry
David! What 'really bites' is being so wrapped up in your dogma that you
actually start to believe it yourself! The 'actual' number of gun owners
is estimated to be around the 7 million mark, and the government has 'revised'
their numbers twice to bolster the low response in licence applications.
First they said 3.3 million gun owners, then 'poof' the number of gun owners
'spontaneously' decreased to 2.2 million to make it look as if the number
of owners applying for a licence is 90%. When in fact, its almost exactly
27%. Using the universal numbers of 2.8 guns per owner, means 19.6
million guns in the country, of which over 14 million will never be registered..
Yes David reality 'does' bite.. Found a new job yet?)
'Another
Quebec Company' Contract bought from the Liberals!
Messenger-service companies in several cities have protested to
the federal government that the Crown corporation is using its massive
resources and influence to unfairly back the expansion of Montreal-based
messenger Intelcom. The Globe and Mail has discovered that Intelcom and
Canada Post officials have common ties to the Quebec wing of the federal
Liberal Party. In 1998, Intelcom donated $22,901 to the Liberal Party,
placing the firm on the list of the party's top 50 corporate donors, alongside
Canada's biggest corporations. It also donated $5,732 in 1999, when Mr.
Hudon donated another $2,000. In recent years, it also donated smaller
sums to three MPs: $934 to Mr. Cauchon, $460 to Laval-East MP Carole-Marie
Allard, and $815 to Mr. Gagliano.(Well gee!!!
It's probably all a coincidence right? )
Gag
on gun registry
OTTAWA -- Justice Minister Martin Cauchon's office has issued a
gag order forbidding anyone to discuss how many people have been fired
over the bungled firearms registration program. Cauchon's spokesman
Mike Murphy refused to discuss comments made by Prime Minister Jean Chretien
Wednesday in one of his annual year-end interviews. Chretien
said that some people have been demoted, and "some lost their jobs." But
yesterday Murphy refused to confirm the PM's comments that staff
at the mismanaged firearms program had been fired. "I'm not going
to comment on what the prime minister said," Murphy said. "We're focusing
on implementing the recommendations of the auditor general." (The
incredible waste, and liberal arrogance surrounding this social engineering
failure is enough to make any taxpayer GAG!)
Gun
registration fiasco creates new problems
The Chinese Taoist philosopher Lao Tzu, who
lived hundreds of years before the birth of Christ, is credited with
the proverb "The more laws you create, the more criminals you make."
That's certainly true with regard to the federal gun registration plan.
The Dec. 31 deadline for the billion-dollar program is fast approaching,
with hundreds of thousands of Canadian gun owners scrambling to avoid
penalty.(December 31st is a bit of a fallacy.
The registration centre closes for the holidays on December 20th. Most
of the employees will be laid off at that time (This was told to me during
a discussion with a nice young lady helping me with a transfer, last month.)
The private company 'was' slated to take over on Jan. 9th, but ???
3.3 million gun owners, and 7.9 million guns is a well known joke with-in
the firearms user community. AND the government knows these figures only
represent a less than 'one half' of the guns and owners actually out there.
Keeping 'their' official numbers low, is only a ploy to make them look
less foolish among the urban ignorant for even attempting this farce)
Feds
scrap gun debate
It was a measure of the chaos that has enveloped Ottawa's gun registration
scheme that the government decided last week not to debate and approve
legislation aimed at helping tighten some of the controls in the system.
Bill C-10A would create a commissioner of firearms within the justice department
and transfer responsibility for gun registration from the RCMP to the department.
Opposition MPs said the government retreated because it did not want to
give MPs another platform to slam the gun registration plan and its
expected $1 billion price tag. It also was not certain that all rural Liberal
MPs would vote for the bill. Manitoba Canadian Alliance MP
Howard Hilstrom, the only one to speak during the Dec. 6 debate, signalled
the CA would take full advantage of the platform to keep the "billion dollar
boondoggle" in the headlines. "I know that Canadians, both gun owners
and non-gun owners, have not given up the battle to have this legislation
repealed," he said. (Tis the season to send an email
to your Liberals MP and let him or her know in no uncertain terms that
they will be replaced in the next election if they continue to support
this farce.)
Gun
owners prepare for civil disobedience
After the deadline passes, don't expect a quick crackdown from police,
said Vince Westwick, legal counsel to the Canadian Association of Chiefs
of Police. There's a six-month grace period for people who've
applied but haven't received their certificate. "Are police
likely to start culling the system to see who hasn't registered and start
conducting investigations, I don't think so," he said. He said if
police have entered a home for another reason and see a firearm,
they may ask to see registration papers. They also might question hunters
who have visible firearms. Muir says he's ready for that eventuality
and ready to declare he doesn't have the paperwork. "It's not
just for me. It's for my family ... How far does this go? (The
Government will not start arresting people for the same reason they shelved
the confiscation of guns 'they' classified as prohibited. There is not
enough money in the treasury to fight all the court cases this is going
to generate. Once the 'law' comes for 'you', your neighbours will
wonder how long it will be before something 'they' own is deemed politically
incorrect as well! Soon 'others' and their property will be slated for
confiscation and/or incarceration, and not falling intro step with the
new Liberal order will be a crime all by it self!)
Gun
registry bureaucrats were promoted, not fired
Government spokesmen yesterday could not name the senior Canadian
Firearms Centre bureaucrats Prime Minister Jean Chrétien said were
demoted or fired because of the fiasco that led to a $1-billion cost overrun
in the gun registry. In fact, all of the senior managers in charge of the
program while its costs spiralled out of control have either been promoted
or, in one case, retained a more senior position in the Justice Department.
"Did
he say that?" replied David Austin, the centre's strategic communications
adviser. Mr. Austin denied Mr. Mosley was in effect fired and replaced
by Ms. Flumian. "They reorganized, they brought in a CEO, a new position,"
he said.(Who are they Jean? Perhaps they're
discussing it over a beer, with the imaginary homeless person you told
us all about a few years ago. Now it seems we have imaginary bureaucrats
in the unemployment line eh!.. Perhaps it's the 'drugs'? Oh pardon me,
I thought he said 'trucks'!)
Gun
registry just a fourth-rate policy
Liberals spend $1B to avoid being politically incorrect
The result is a registry that some police estimate is 25% inaccurate;
a registry that does not keep the addresses of the 131,000 persons prohibited
from owning guns -- nor does it note whether their guns have been taken
away from them; a registry that includes two million of the country's 3.3
million gun owners (owning five million of 16.5 million guns in the country)
and does not include their names; and a registry that does not stop the
use of guns by criminals. The Liberals announced what amounts to
a poorly supervised licencing fee paid only by some law-abiding gun owners
and also concocted another make-work "registry industry" for party faithful
that has accomplished absolutely nothing and never, ever will.(The
Liberals think this will simply fade away over the winter break period.
It Won't! People, 'not just gun owners', are finally seeing this 'registry'
as the farce it really is. They have wasted an incredible amount of money,
obtained by withholding information from parliament; And have shown that
under 'Liberal Rule', they feel they can do anything they wish. Push forth
any policy they wish. Dictate 'any' change in culture they feel would be
politically correct; And by law, force Canadians to comply with yet 'another'
liberal ideal of engineered socialism. C-68 is the perfect example!)
Canada
and the Burgeoning culture of 'Ropes'
The difference is suicides by hanging. There were 1,034 of them
a year at the start of the 1990s, and a staggering
1,755 of them at the end, a 70-per-cent increase. Canadians didn't
stop killing themselves because the Liberals built an incinerator called
the Canadian Firearms Centre, then shovelled a billion dollars into its
roaring maw. In fact, they didn't stop killing themselves at all.
As people who are determined to kill themselves always have, when confronted
with difficulties finding their life-taking weapon of choice, they switched
to another mode. The registry hasn't stopped Canadians from killing themselves,
it's merely made them switch to nooses from guns. Perhaps the registry
has prevented Canada from developing a "gun culture," but if that's true,
then the registry may be blamed for our rapidly growing "rope culture."(This
can mean only one thing! Guns that fire 'ropes' are no longer classified
as 'non' guns and must be registered. Well, If it saves only 'one' life!)
PM
Blames Bureaucrats and Gun Owners for 500X cost over-run
Public servants who managed the federal gun registry and licensing
program were demoted and fired as problems mounted and the cost of the
scheme mushroomed to $1 billion, Prime Minister Jean Chrétien says.
"You know, in any corporation you have problems," Mr. Chrétien said.
"Look at the banks, they have to write off billions of bad loans every
year." Mr. Chrétien said the program cost more money than Industry
Minister Allan Rock predicted when he established it as justice minister
in 1995 because gun owners falsified registration and licence applications
in an effort to foul up the bureaucracy. The prime minister also noted
several provinces Dropped out of the scheme, forcing Ottawa to spend more.
As well, there were difficulties with computer programs and technology.(Does
this man ever 'listen' to himself? I don't think any bank in history has
ever been out on an estimate by 47,000 percent.. And, GUN OWNERS are to
blame for this HUGE mess!!! What an ASS!!! As usual these incompetent fools
are pointing the finger at EVERYONE but where the blame really belongs.
This actually shows how morally deficient you can get when you think you
have total control! )
Chrétien
gets the last word, again and again and again!
Chrétien stayed on a well-honed message
track, which by the end of the fourth hour was being parroted by the dwindling
number of twitchy correspondents still sucking oxygen, nourished only by
microwave popcorn and barbecue chips. Over the course of the day
— on TVA, CPAC, CBC, Radio-Canada, CTV (an extended interview) and Global
— we heard Chrétien misquote Mark Twain once, misquote Franklin
Roosevelt once and appear to forget CBC anchor Peter Mansbridge's name.
He reminded us six times that U.S. President George W. Bush had said he
would make a "good Texan," apparent proof that Canada-U.S. relations were
fine. Twice he told interviewers that he was the only G-8 leader who could
name the shortstop for the Texas Rangers, something Bush appreciated. Although
he recited his salary, he didn't name Alex Rodriquez. Chrétien reminded
us time-and-again that American presidents are lame ducks the moment
they are re-elected and Mexican presidents the moment they are elected;
a couple of times he even tossed in a story about how in the Netherlands,
the leader of the country stayed on after a successor was chosen as leader
of his party.(Gaddd! They gotta Dump this
guy before he starts to stagger and drool!)
Many
Canadians overspend, Chretien reasons
OTTAWA -- Prime Minister Jean Chretien said the federal government
should be forgiven for spending 500 times more on the gun registry program
than expected because many Canadians have difficult times budgeting, too.
(What
a 'tool' .. He has no idea!.. It's hard to believe that this man is the
leader of 'anything'. The ONLY reason any rational, thinking person could
ever follow this guy, is perhaps out of idle curiosity! He has already
wasted the equivalent cost of a MRI machine for every hospital in Canada,
and now says he can't supply the level of health care funding the
country needs. BUT, WANTS TO KEEP PUMPING MONEY INTO THIS USELESS BLACK
HOLE.. The Auditor Generals biggest condemnation was not over the 'amount',
but how it was stolen from the taxpayer without parliamentary approval.
The Liberal Government is morally bankrupt and it won't matter a bit WHO
is at the helm! )
Are
the Liberals 'Eyeing' Jamaica for Ideas in Firearm Farce Funding?
Firearms dealers, who will now pay $10,000 for a year's licence,
up from $2,500; and firearm users, whose licence fees will move to $3,000
from $1,500. (Well, this virtually assures the Jamaican
black market for guns will thrive as never before!)
Heads
must roll over foul-up
The notion of a registry was the policy solution
offered in 1994 by Rock to stem gun-related crimes following the
Montreal massacre of 14 women by the son of
an Algerian Muslim wife-beater who changed his name from Gamil Gharbi to
Marc Lepine. Let's examine the policy's logic: #1:That
there is a link between registration of guns and a reduction in the murder
rate by guns. #2:That
everyone, including nutbars, terrorists and criminals, will register their
guns. #3:That
if they don't want to register, they will be forced to. #4:That
the registry will eliminate the black market for weapons. (I
guess it isn't hard to believe that Liberals could be so naive after all,
is it? And it ONLY cost a BILLION dollars and a Auditor General's Report
to have this pointed out to the previously deaf media!!)
Americans
are watching in case it happens there too!!
(Washington Times)
"The [cost] overrun of the federal gun registry has become
the talk of the nation. And rightly so, as Auditor General Sheila Fraser's
dissection of the billion-dollar boondoggle has forced Canadians to sit
up and take notice of just how utterly incompetent our federal government
has become," began the editorial.(The simple fact
that there is not one country in the entire world, where gun control has
prevented crime should be enough of a hint of what's to come. Gun control
has always been about 'control' more than it's been about guns!)
Liberal
spin can't hide registry failure
The cost of the federal gun registry was like one, gigantic snake
-- hard to slay (it took seven years), but at least it was a one-headed
serpent. In the past week, the Liberals have unleashed the multi-headed
hydra of public safety to stave off shutting down the gun registry. It's
hard to know which hissing, specious head to cut off first. Then there
is always the risk that for each specious safety claim one cuts down, the
Liberals will throw out three additional claims. (And
WAIT there's MORE! It cures 'baldness' and increases penis size too! Who
can afford NOT to support such a wonderful plan.. Bridges? Yes they have
bridges, go right down aisle 4..)
You
Didn't Register?
A
Sex Offender can get 6 months,
A
Firearms Owner can get 10 Years!
“Obviously, the Liberals think that innocent firearms owners are
more dangerous than convicted sex offenders.
Statistics prove just the opposite,” said Breitkreuz. “But,
as Canadians have learned with the gun registry, facts and honesty have
very little to do in the formulation of Liberal legislation.” Last Thursday,
Wayne Easter, Solicitor General of Canada, told the House of Commons that
the government could not bring the Sex Offender Registry in retroactively,
“because it might not stand up to the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.”
Breitkreuz questioned the government’s logic: “Where were their concerns
for privacy for the millions of completely innocent firearms owners in
1995 when they passed Bill C-68 forcing them to register in the government’s
disastrous gun registry?” The penalties in the Liberal’s new Sex
Offender Registry are way off the mark too. Canadian Alliance MP,
Kevin Sorenson, MP for Crowfoot, pointed out the ridiculousness of the
new law in the House of Commons on Thursday, December 12th: “Mr. Speaker,
failure to register a firearm can end up with a prison term of 10 years.
Failure to register as a convicted sex offender is punishable by only six
months in prison. Firearm owners who provide false information are
liable for up to five years in prison. Convicted sex offenders who provide
false information are liable for up to six months in prison. Does the government
really believe that innocent firearm owners are a greater threat to the
public security than convicted sex offenders?( Liberals
have trouble seeing the problem here! Why? When your head is THAT far up
your ass you have trouble seeing anything. Now that 'our government' has
allowed prisoners to vote, the 'Powerful Sex Offender Lobby' obviously
must have a large number of liberal hopefuls fighting for their rights
to access your wife and children! It's the ONLY thing that seems to make
any sense of these penalties)
Rock's
billion-dollar gun registry disaster
The gun registry was never either. It was never aimed at the crazed
and the criminal, who have never much cared about the niceties of
acquiring FACs and the like, but rather at the great majority of responsible
gun owners, already inundated with a plethora of controls and attendant
paperwork, and fairly suspicious that the registry is but the first step
on a short road to gun prohibition and confiscation. This brings
me back to Mr. Rock, whose billion-dollar-baby the registry is, and who,
since federal Auditor-General Sheila Fraser lifted the veil of secrecy
off this grotesquely swollen monster, has been defending his bastard child
all over the place. Virtually no one, not even the staunchest gun-control
advocate, accepts Mr. Rock's figures, and some of the decline in gun deaths
that he credits to the registry is better attributed to a decline in the
number of suicides who use firearms to kill themselves (but who still
nonetheless kill themselves), and some of it may also be due to modern
trauma medicine, which now routinely sees gunshot victims saved who would
have perished from their injuries even a decade ago. That Mr. Rock gets
away with this palpable nonsense is outrageous: Whatever else it is doing
besides bleeding Canadians blind, his gun registry is not saving
lives, and all he is attempting to save is his own precious political arse.(Now,
soon will come the end of this farce.. And, vindication to the 'Millions'
of defiant Canadian gun owners who under this current deceitful law will
be criminals on January the first. But, they will carry this vivid memory,
all the way to the polls in 2004.)
McLellan
stops short of blaming her predecessor
EDMONTON - Anne McLellan says she had to rebuild the national gun
registry after inheriting the troubled program from Allan Rock, suggesting
that mistakes that have cost taxpayers nearly $1-billion occurred during
his watch. Her remarks illustrate how fast the firearms registry is becoming
a political orphan, as ministers deflect blame for its vast cost overruns,
and as their political opponents cite it as evidence of the Liberal government's
poor fiscal management.(Haa...How can you tell a
Liberal gun grabber in a crowd? The Liberal is the one pointing and blaming!!
Hahahaha.. Remember, because YOU didn't line up like sheep and bow down
to the ruling party's lying, deceitful, arrogant, dictatorial will,
like you SHOULD have! It's ALL your Fault. The best way to change
a known bad law, from a government that does not have a record of listening
to the people, is through mass defiance and exposing the truth.. The Liberals
have been exposed, and their hiding. After a Billion dollars has already
been wasted, and the majority of Canadians are screaming "Scrap It", it
would be political suicide to allocate even a single dollar more to this
black hole! I'm sure, the announcement will come shortly after the new
year, and will start with a amnesty to save face, and finish soon after
with the long gun registry gone! I just hope 'this time', they have the
brains to use sound science, and accurate information to re-write
this fiasco )
Extend
firearm deadline, MLA says
A Tory MLA is calling on the federal government to extend the deadline
for its new gun registry. "Instead of making many of us all criminals on
the first day of January, why not extend the deadline and try to
make it easier for people?" Brooke Taylor (Colchester-Musquodoboit Valley)
said in an interview Sunday. "If they are going to continue down
this road to ruin, at the very least, they could give us all until . .
. June 2003." (Only in Canada could a government
pass a law based on false information, twisted statistics, and outright
lies. Force it through parliament with their majority numbers. Pay for
it with hundreds of millions of dollars kept hidden from the legislature,
and virtually stolen from the Canadian treasury. Then, to add injury to
insult, threaten normally law abiding people with prison and property confiscation
if they don't comply by an arbitrary date! When in fact what should be
happening, is the Liberals facing a law suit from the Canadian People to
REPLACE the almost 700 million dollars they have 'spirited' out of
the treasury and spent without parliamentary approval. If this were the
case, governments might be more fiscally accountable for what many see
as outright theft!)
Back
on 'right' track
Could Harris be preparing for a run at the federal Tory leadership?
If he was, Klein's bash would be an obvious pit-stop. With no other competition
from Ontario, and if Klein's Alberta team signed up, Harris would be a
shoo-in. A man who served as premier of Ontario for two terms would
have no interest in leading a fifth-place party in Parliament. So Harris's
interest in the federal Tories can only mean one thing: He aims to take
over the Tories, and merge it with the Canadian Alliance. If it could
be done before the 2004 election -- and on policy terms that would not
offend conservative CA members -- Harris's campaign could solve the chronic
problem of vote-splitting on the right, in time to stop the Paul Martin
juggernaut. (One can only hope! A union like this
could leave the Liberals counting their elected seats on one hand - or
less!)
Columbia
Rescinds History Prize for Book
"Severe doubts about a book on guns in the United States has led
Columbia University to rescind the prestigious Bancroft Prize for history.
'Arming America,'' by Michael Bellesiles, had received the award in 2001.
In a statement released Friday, Columbia said that the school's trustees
had concluded 'his book had not and does not meet the standards ... established
for the Bancroft Prize.'' Columbia has asked Bellesiles to return the prize
money, $4,000.(It's truly fortunate that a lot of
people recognize 'bullshit' when they see it! Our liberal government has
recently been made acutely aware of this fact as well!)
3
more MPs tell pm to "Take Another Walk in the Snow"!
''This fall session has been the worst 10 weeks cumulatively in
the last 10 years,'' Mr. McTeague said. ''I don't think the bureaucrats
are focused. Policies are being bandied about but really are not
being taken very seriously as a result of the prime minister's timetable,
which is unworkable and unrealistic and very unpopular.'' Mr. Gallaway,
MP for the Ontario riding of Sarnia-Lambton, said there is a lot of anxiety
among his constituents about the Prime Minister's ability to continue in
office when he appears to have lost control of the machinery of government.
''We've fallen into a state of chaos, particularly on a number of files,
like the gun registry,'' he said. ''The field is shifting out there and
people are growing impatient [with Mr. Chrétien staying],'' he said.
Mr. Gallaway said many of his constituents are upset with wasteful federal
spending, such as the $1-billion gun registry boondoggle and would like
to see Mr. Martin, the former finance minister, take over.(The
Liberals have not "fallen into a state of chaos" as Mr Galloway has said,
but have instead been discovered to BE IN A STATE OF CHAOS. That's
right! Caught in the act! Scurrying for cover! Pointing the finger at everyone
but themselves! If only the "Right" would combine into one party, for the
sake of Canada, we could rid ourselves of this arrogant political blight!)
Now
that the 'Poll Loving Liberals' KNOW that the 'MAJORITY'
of all Canadians want the Gun registry Scrapped,
WHAT
ARE THEY GOING TO DO?
When asked about the $1 billion cost of the national gun registry,
a majority (53 per cent) of Canadians say that major cost over-runs
show that the national gun registry is badly organized, isn't working properly
and should therefore be scrapped. (When a totally
uninformed poll said the majority of Canadians supported the registry,
the Liberals were very quick to point this out to everyone who would listen.
NOW, because the public is a little more aware of the massive bungling,
cost, and impossibility of this stupid socialistic cause. The majority
of Canadians say the government should cut it's losses now, and scrap this
mess. Too bad the Liberals feel they are above the public, and know what's
best for everyone! In the face of this overwhelming opposition, they will
continue to waste your money, and criminalize fellow Canadians, all in
the name of their social engineering agenda. Losing a Poll mean nothing
now, majority governments in Canada mean democracy ends at the voting booth.
Come the 'Liberal Social Utopia', you'll do as your told! Have they ever
given you 'any' indication it will be otherwise?)
Alliance
'disrupting' gun registry
Asked if he meant the Canadian Alliance has been urging gun owners
to break the law, Mr. Easter replied: "I'm saying the Alliance has been
encouraging people to be disruptive of the system. That adds to the burden
of costs." Mr. Easter is minister responsible for the RCMP, which
maintains the national firearms registry on behalf of the Justice Department.
The Canadian Firearms Centre faces a massive backlog as the registration
deadline of Jan. 2, 2003 looms. Slightly more than one million gun owners
out of an estimated two million have registered about five million rifles
and shotguns. The pace of registration is so slow that Mr. Cauchon
recently announced a six-month grace period until next June for gun owners
to receive their registration certificates. Mr. Cauchon said he intends
to redistribute money already budgeted to other Justice Department
operations to keep the program running after $7 million remaining in allocated
funds runs out. While telling the Commons he made his plans public in the
interest of transparency, the justice minister refused to say later exactly
where the money will come from.(Oh ..Sure.. Just
because of a few stalling tactics, the liberals NOW say it's the 'unruly'
citizens that have created this BILLION DOLLAR MESS by failing to line
up like the taxpaying sheep the Liberals are used to!!!! Have they no shame?
Just because this government tramples over the rights and freedoms
of Canadian citizens, does NOT mean the Canadian taxpaying sheep have to
fall in line and be dictated to. It's a BAD LAW, and the government has
STOLEN taxpayer money 'without permission' from the Canadian treasury to
fund it. A
court decision has given the Inuit exemption, so ALL OTHER CANADIANS
also have exemption: The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms requires
that everyone be "equal before and under the law.". Everyone has
the right "to the equal protection and equal benefit of the law without
discrimination, and, in particular, without discrimination based
on RACE, NATIONAL OR ETHNIC ORIGIN, COLOUR, religion, sex, age, or mental
or physical disability. The CFC is now CLEARLY in contravention of the
Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. On top of THAT, the arrogant,
fiscal incompetent bastards, are more than willing to spend another
billion dollars to whip the peasants into order and maintain their dictatorship!.)
Allan
Rock's flying Cirque d'innovation
Allan "What's a billion?" Rock rolled his Liberal leadership campaign
over to Mitel yesterday to dump another load of government cash.
The Ottawa-based tech company and it's sister operation, March Networks,
received $60-million from Technology Partnerships Canada, the $2-billion
subsidy boondoggle operated by Mr. Rock's department, Industry Canada.
According to Mr. Rock, taxpayers should not worry that their money is being
given away to billionaire spongers. "We expect every nickel of this
investment to be returned. And frankly, we expect to do better than just
to get our money back," he said. Now that's predictable; it follows
the line offered by every corporate welfare artist and industry minister
who has ever dipped a ladle into the TPC trough or stirred the soup
bowl of corporate welfare. (Waaaaite for it!!!! Just
one little touch.... There it is!! Praaannnggggg!! Another whacking great
load of taxpayers money converted to shit by the man with the reverse midas
touch! No amount is too small in the attempt to buy a liberal a future
in wasting even more of your money! Just keep voting Liberal, after all,
you have been taxed into a huge surplus that the Liberals feel is THEIR
money, and find no end to the politically correct personal agendas to suck
it up! )
U.S.
fuming over Ottawa pot proposal
"We're going to have to clamp down even stronger on our border if
you liberalize and contribute to what we consider a drug tourism problem,"
he said. "I don't want to get to the point where we're calling for
a boycott of Canadian products." (Hey.. You supply
our criminals with illigal guns, and we'll supply your tourists with pot!
It's called 'free trade' and our Liberal pot smoking gun-o-phobes are all
for it!!
The
Gun Control Experiment – Two More Data Points
It is difficult to understand why the gun control lobby has any
standing at all in public policy discussion. Even the strictest gun prohibition
on the planet has not been effective. Since Britain enacted the final,
absolute ban on handguns and ultra-tight control of long guns in 1997,
the country has experienced its worst wave of gun crime in history. It
would seem that the tighter you make the gun laws, the better criminals
like it. Yet the gun haters, blinded by their obsession, still urge us
to throw good money after bad into their expensive schemes. The only
form of gun control that works is to lock up more criminals who misuse
them. Costly bans, registration and licensing are a scandalous waste of
precious resources.(Well, you can always tell a Liberal
gun hater, but you can't tell them much!)
Ottawa
plans to stop funding for firearms education in Saskatchewan
"This whole Bill C-68, gun control, gun registry, the whole thing,
has been sold by the federal government as a public safety issue. And it
would seem to us and to many others that in terms of public safety, proper
training and certification is sort of a backbone of a public safety issue
when it comes to gun ownership. "And that's what they cut the funding to,"
said Wyatt. "The $65,000 in terms of their billion-dollar problem that
they've got right now. ...They're going to have to cut a lot of $65,000
programs to solve their financial problems."(Hey
Look!! Is somebody wasting paperclips and tape? What was the theme for
Titanic? Oh ya.. My FaRT will go on!!)
Robbing
'Taxpayer' Peter to Persecute and Imprison 'Taxpayer' Paul!
OTTAWA - Money will be cut from other areas
in the Justice Department in order to keep the firearms registry afloat,
said Martin Cauchon, the Justice Minister, who insisted the move will not
affect existing programs. But Mr. Cauchon refused to say which programs
will be cut, prompting the opposition to accuse him of repeating the very
practice that was criticized by the Auditor-General. "He's breaking the
rules of Parliament," said Garry Breitkreuz, a Canadian Alliance MP and
vocal critic of the registry. "You've got Parliament denying $72-million,
now he says he's going to shuffle money around behind the scenes.
That's against Treasury Board guidelines. We didn't approve the funds,
so how can you proceed with the program? I think there's a smoke and mirrors,
a sleight of hand taking place here. I don't think the Minister's being
up- front with Parliament. He's doing the exact same thing that the Auditor-General
said was totally unacceptable, and that's keeping Parliament in the dark.".
(Well!
Until he gets more 'Supplementary Money' by I suppose ramming it through
using the Liberal Majority, he plans to divert funds from other areas eh!
What other areas can he take funds from? Prisons? Police? National Security?
How about the Sex Offender Registry? Perhaps he could squeeze a few bucks
out of the Parole System? Maybe even get the 'young offenders', pedophiles
and rapists, back on the street early? Perhaps even postpone some of Carla
Homolka's reconstructive surgery, so when she's out and living right next
door to you under the witness protection program, you might be able to
warn your children? What's he going to do for cash when the body count
starts to roll in from all his "Pot Smoking Drivers"? It looks as if "Rock-O-Phobia"
is going to cost this country dearly!)
Gun
registry scaled back after funding problems
OTTAWA - The federal government, under pressure for overspending
on the national gun registry, says it's going to scale back the program
for the foreseeable future. Justice Minister Martin Cauchon told
Parliament on Thursday that he will freeze spending. He said the program
will continue to operate but at a minimum level. But Cauchon did
not explain how the registry can keep going after he withdrew a request
for another $72 million in operating funds. "We are looking within
the Justice Department operating budgets to manage any shortfall in
resources until my review is complete," he said. Alliance wants program
scrapped But opponents of the gun-control measure say the whole thing should
be scrapped. (Ya, but just what the hell does "Scaled
Back" mean? Are they only going to make "selected" gun owners into criminal
on January 1st? Or, are they going to increase the 6 month period whereby
their inability to do the job will turn YOU into a criminal? Someone should
just shoot this thing in the head, and put it out of it's misery. And the
sooner the better. Now, that they are turning pot heads into law abiding
citizens, we all know what they were smoking when they designed this farce!)
C.F.C.
Website: MYTHS and FACTS(?) about the Firearms Program
This link should really be called Facts and
more Liberal Myths about the firearms program. Because if you believe THIS,
you would also have to believe that the Auditor General is an Incompetent
Liar, and the Liberals are really the truthful ones. If all this funding
was 'above board', why did the Auditor for the first time in history, have
to discontinue the audit because it was a complete shambles, and the needed
information was just not available. Why did the government pull the request
for 72 million if it was 'really' part of the approved budget. As for the
police approving of the system! Only the 'Police Chiefs" approve of the
system because it's entirely political, and 'their' not facing the criminals
with the guns anyway. Go ask the cop on the street. I have not met one
yet that thinks this system will be of any use what-so-ever, and I doubt
if anyone will! You don't ask the 'Generals in the lounge' what life is
like in the trenches, why would you even bother to take the word of
back peddling Politicians, bureaucrats, and Police Chiefs?)
Disaster
Up North Gun-control laws run amuck.
Effusively praised by President Clinton, Canada's
gun-control laws are in a state of crisis, threatening the political future
of many Liberal party politicians. Introduced in 1995 with a promised net
cost of $2 million dollars (Canadian), the nation's gun registry is going
to cost over a billion dollars, according to a new report from the
auditor general. The report details pervasive malfeasance by the
Liberal administration. Now, many Canadians who have no personal
interest in gun ownership are turning against the deceit and self-dealing
of the Liberals. Chrétien touts gun registration as the foundation
of a "culture of safety," but the results are just the opposite.
The Ontario Police Association opined that the money should have
been spent to put more police on the streets. Indeed, the registry
money could have put a thousand more police on the streets for a decade.
Ontario's Public Safety minister argued that the money should have been
used to go after handgun criminals on the urban streets, rather than "the
farm widow who has a shotgun in the attic."(HAaaaa..
All that thumping and crashing you hear are people jumping and/or falling
off the gun control bandwagon)
Court
documents suggest Hells Angels linked to missing weapons
WINNIPEG (CP) — Winnipeg police believe the Hells Angels are linked
to a missing arsenal of high-powered weaponry, suggest court documents.
A .44-Magnum revolver registered to Gale was found in possession of the
bikers earlier this year and police have said they haven’t a clue where
several other missing weapons -- including a Uzi submachine gun and a Ingram
M-10 machine pistol -- have gone. “We know these weapons stay on the street
for a long time and can do a lot of damage, whether it be in drive-bys
or hold-ups or other crimes,” said Det. Sgt. Paul Brown of the National
Weapons Enforcement Support Team. No charges have been laid against Gale,
62, who says the guns were all legally registered but can’t explain how
some went missing from his home. Police have said Gale is co-operating
with investigators. (The Hells Angels probably had
a 'shopping list' provided by an inside source somewhere along the registration
path. On January 9th this farce is being turned over to a 'private' company.
These 'shopping lists' will no doubt be much easier to get in the future.
It's a pretty safe bet to say that Mr. Gail was not at home during the
undetected break-in, simply because he's not dead! Will you feel safer
when the Liberals give a 'private' company access to all your firearms
information? I didn't think so!, Hell, it's not even a good, safe idea
to allow the government to have this information!)
Chrétien
Admits Collusion in Gun Registry
Prime Minister Jean Chrétien told Liberal MPs and senators
yesterday he knew "years ago" that the cost of the federal firearms registry
was exceeding original forecasts. During a spirited defence of Industry
Minister Allan Rock over the spiralling $1-billion price tag, Mr. Chrétien
told his caucus he accepts responsibility for the program as prime minister
and vowed to "fix" the gun licensing and registry spending problems to
continue the system in the interest of public safety. Mr. Chrétien
rushed to the defence of Mr. Rock after Huron-Bruce MP Paul Steckle told
the caucus the minister should resign from cabinet for ignoring advice
from Liberal MPs when he was developing the registry plan in 1994 and 1995.
Mr. Rock tabled the National Firearms Act as justice minister in 1995.Following
the caucus meeting, a Liberal MP said it is now "common knowledge"
in the caucus that the Justice Department has made 12 separate requests
for extra funding from the Treasury Board to keep the firearms program
going since it took effect in 1998.(Chrétien
is quick to "accept responsibility", because as he well knows, there is
virtually no adverse affect to doing this. Politicians are quick to accept
responsibility because they know the acceptance comes with very little
adverse effect. They will not be fined! They will not go to jail, and even
if fired, they will continue to collect their gold plated pensions. The
'prime minister' has just admitted collusion in the theft of millions from
the public treasury for the liberal pet project of 'gun control' and he
knows there will be no ramifications. He is the BOSS, and SCREW
YOU until the next general election. What in fact, should actually
happen is the immediate calling of an election, to see if the public has
truly lost confidence in the liberal's ability to be responsible for the
countries cheque book. They have clearly shown, they are incompetents,
with a unlimited balance credit card to fund their own personal agendas.
It should be up to the public to sanction their excesses through a referendum,
if not an immediate general federal election )
The
Hill Times: Winners and Losers
Loser: Allan Rock; on the hot seat big time.
This was his baby. The rural caucus has never liked him and now they are
lashing out. They may even think they are helping Paul Martin by doing
so. But Rocky will survive. He has a large constituency of victims' groups
and major organizations that back him on this. And besides, if you get
into the finger-pointing game, well, he only created the law. It was Anne
McLellan who took over the justice beat and oversaw much of the period
when the cost overruns developed and delays in implementation occurred.
And she is a big ally of Paul Martin, who was in charge of the purse
strings for most of the period in question.
Loser: Anne McLellan. Talk about having a rotten
week. The Minister gets stuck with a stinker case of the 'flu. She gets
accused by the anti-smoking lobby of being a closet smoker who is soft
on the tobacco companies (see ad in last week's Hill Times and subsequent
news story). Then she becomes public enemy No. 1 in her home-province of
Alberta for announcing that she will vote to ratify Kyoto. And then she
gets caught up in the gun control saga, because a lot of the controversy
happened on her watch as justice minister. She should have just stayed
in bed for the week with a bottle of scotch and a good book or two.
Winner: Alliance MP Garry Breitkreuz. For eight
years, this Saskatchewan MP has bombarded us with press releases insisting
that the firearms registry was doomed to be a huge boondoggle and could
cost upwards of a billion bucks. Many, yours truly included, at first lumped
him together with those alien invasion conspiracy guys. Eventually he was
another broken record. Well, guess what, he was right. What's more, some
people in government had to have known it and covered it up. Blow your
horn Mr. Breitkreuz; you've earned the right. (Your
Damn Right He Has!!)
Scrap
program if 'fatally flawed,' Liberal MP says
The Commons public accounts committee voted unanimously yesterday
to launch an inquiry into the $1-billion federal gun registry fiasco, with
a prominent Liberal MP saying the program should be scrapped if it is found
to be "fatally flawed." Ontario Liberal MP John Bryden said the public
accounts committee must be thorough enough to satisfy public demand for
information about the overspending as well as the effectiveness of
the program. "Do we throw away an investment of $800 million? The only
way I would be prepared to do that is if in our examination of the issue,
we found that the program is fatally flawed and can't be corrected." Mr.
Bryden explained that "fatally flawed" would mean the firearms program
"can never actually rise to a level of reasonable expectation. I want to
know how badly the program is falling short of the mark."(My
god!! he just has to read some of the collected data. The police won't
depend on it, and a simple test of entering a firearm serial number returns
'scores' of 'possiblities' and virtually never the exact firearm.
They have already lost track of thousand of registered guns and their owners,
and will never have the majority of firearms in the database anyway!. Even
if they get the 8 million guns 'they' say are out there, what about the
OTHER 10 million that are ACTUALLY out there! This entire farce should
be put on hold NOW, before MILLIONS of Canadian become 'Paper Liberal Criminals'
on January the 1st.)
Overspending
not evident at secretive firearms centre
MIRAMICHI, N.B. -- With its shaded windows, locked doors and lack
of identifying signs, the processing centre for Canada's much-maligned
gun control program has the spooky feel of a covert operation. Residents
of Miramichi are just as mystified as other Canadians when it comes to
the inflated price tag for gun registration, which has mushroomed from
an initial estimate of $2 million to more than $1 billion by 2005. "Where
did it go? We never got nothing,' said tough-talking Mike 'Tanker' Malley,
Tory member of the provincial legislature for Miramichi.(With
70% of it's funding handled as a "Covert Operation" it will be next to
impossible to find out where all the money went! But, I'm sure many things
will surface that will absolutely shock Mr. & Mrs. average urban yuppy
Canadian! This whole operation is like a 'scratch and sniff' shit stain..
Every time you poke the surface, ..Well, you get the idea!)
Leadership
of cabinet ministers leaves a lot to be desired
Industry Minister Allan Rock is under attack for the
billion-dollar gun control fiasco that he brought to Canadians when he
was justice minister. These calls, predictably, originate with the Opposition.
But they are also coming from some members of the Liberal caucus.
Again the calls should be heeded. The problems with the current gun
control legislation began with the fact that it was ill advised.
Add to that the fact that it has been so poorly executed and you have the
blame being placed right where it belongs, at the feet of Allan Rock. Rock
is a cabinet minister who could be described as having delusions of adequacy.
To think that he might even be considered a possible candidate to succeed
Jean Chretien as leader of the country’s governing party is troubling
in the extreme. The very best way he could serve his country would
be to step down now. (All the logic surrounding this
farce floats like er...a.. Rock!)
Martin,
Rock face scolding over gun debacle
Liberal leadership hopefuls, including Paul Martin and Allan Rock,
are facing the embarrassing prospect of being called on the carpet at the
Commons public accounts committee over the gun-registry debacle, just as
the leadership race is heating up. The committee, chaired by Canadian Alliance
MP John Williams, agreed to conduct hearings into huge cost overruns at
the registry and criticism from the Auditor-General about the government's
failure to report those overruns to Parliament adequately. Progressive
Conservative MP Gerald Keddy has submitted a witness list that includes
Mr. Martin, Mr. Rock, Health Minister Anne McLellan, who was minister of
justice from 1997 until 2001, and the current ministers.(It
would also seem that John Manley has not done anything to curb the waste
either! Why is his name not on the list? Why has HE not cut funding to
this liberal farce? What is he going to do to curb the waste? How is he
going to support a system that NOW has had the vast majority of their
funding removed from 'under the table access'? It's obvious, HE does not
have the balls to do what's right, and pull the plug. It's obvious HE is
also going to find some way to funnel money into this black hole, because
it no longer has the funds to continue with out it. PUT MANLEY ON THE LIST!!
Taxpayers would LOVE to hear why HE has allowed this to continue as well.
Justice
Minister Martin Cauchon disclosed that the Canadian Firearms Centre has
only "a
bit less than $10 million" to keep it operating until the end
of the fiscal year after the government withdrew a request for parliamentary
approval of $72 million in additional 'UNDER THE TABLE' funding.
If the funds are gone, Manley MUST have plans to shuffle MORE money
into this farce, or it HAS TO be SHUT DOWN soon!)
HE
SHOOTS, HE SCORES
CANADIAN ALLIANCE MP GARRY BREITKREUZ IS THE GUN REGISTRY'S MOST
PERSISTENT FOE, AND HIS CRITICISMS OF THE LIBERAL'S LATEST SPENDING DISASTER
ARE AS PERTINENT AS EVER: The case has been bungled, the defence has been
torn apart, yet the Liberals are proceeding with their gun registry legislation
as if their incompetent handling of it can be turned around on a dime.
And this is after 10 billion dimes have already been spent on a disaster
so unmitigated that it is now 500% over budget, and climbing. But it all
seems not to matter. Despite the overtness of the cockup as laid out last
week in the House of Commons, upwards of a half-million Canadians will
nonetheless become instant criminals at the stroke of midnight New Year's
Eve.(AND, if you have registered your guns,
the 'Just Us' Minister has given you 6 months for them to send you
your paperwork! If they can't get it out in time, you will
be a criminal. Very reassuring, considering that there are still
people waiting for their $10.00 POL from this random organization of clowns)
GUN
LAW PRESSURE RESISTED
Edmonton
Cops won't target registry scofflaws
(This is a 'canoe' link and will
vanish in 24hrs)
Edmonton City cops and Mounties say they won't be taking part in
any federal crackdown on unregistered guns, no matter what cops in Ontario
do. The federal government is instructing police forces in Ontario
to crack down on gun owners who haven't registered their weapons
by next year's New Year's Day deadline, Ontario government sources have
told The Toronto Sun. "We have bigger issues in Edmonton than people having
unregistered firearms. Far bigger issues to deal with. And we don't
take our marching orders from the feds," said Sgt. Peter Ratcliff, president
of the Edmonton Police Association. (Any law passed
with falsified and misleading statistics, as well as 'stolen' taxpayers
money should be deemed invalid. You can't break the law, to enforce the
law why should you be allowed to break the law to make the law! )
Probe
gun registry scandal, Clark demands
At least two Liberal members of the public accounts committee indicate
they are prepared to support a call made yesterday by Progressive Conservative
Leader Joe Clark to probe how the gun-licensing and registration program
could run up a bill now tagged at $1 billion by 2004-05. If
even one Liberal backbencher supports the move, past justice ministers
Allan Rock and Anne McLellan could be hauled in front of the committee
to explain what is being called another "boondoggle." Rock introduced
gun control in 1995 and was in charge until mid-1997, McLellan succeeded
him until January, 2002, "We have a right to know why Anne McLellan
authorized hiding the publication of the costs that were known to (the)
justice (department) from the Parliament of Canada, and we have a
right to put Mr. Rock under very direct questioning in the public accounts
committee," said Clark. (With the 'revelation' that
70% of the funding was obtained 'under the table', questions HAVE to be
answered. All the 'real' crime experts agree the governments figures were
all fabrications (Read:Lies)
The politicians that allowed this farce to continue should be TRULY accountable
for once.)
Rock's
gun-death figures called outrageous
A prominent criminologist has slammed a claim from Industry Minister
Allan Rock that the controversial gun registry will save 1,240 lives
in a decade. "In the case of 300 lives saved a year, that's a totally outrageous
claim," said University of Toronto criminologist Philip Stenning. "It's
completely unjustified, insupportable." Mr. Stenning questioned whether
the gun registry has saved any lives or resulted in any drop in gun-related
crime. "There's no evidence at all that gun control has had any impact."
Ottawa-based criminologist Matthew Yeager agreed there is no evidence to
support Mr. Rock's contention.(Mr. Rock has been
spouting this crap for so long, he truly believes it. Make you wonder what
else the liberals have been lying about!)
How
the Liberals shot the truth
On Dec. 6, 1989, a crazed gunman slaughtered 14 female engineering
students in Montreal. The 13th anniversary of this tragedy could not have
been better timed. Facing heavy fire over their billion-dollar gun registry
fiasco, the federal Liberals shamelessly took cover behind the bodies of
the victims.Justice Minister Martin Cauchon found time to drop in on
a Dec. 6 memorial service attended by grieving relatives. Former justice
minister Anne McLellan accused the nasty provinces and the gun nuts of
sabotage. Allan Rock, who presided over the launch of the blighted
registry, blasted away at rival Paul Martin for "playing into the hands
of the gun lobby" because Mr. Martin had dared to say something bad about
it. Then he presciently claimed that the gun registry will save 1,240 lives
by the time it's up and running. "You have to ask yourself, what are 1,240
lives worth?" he said. You have to ask yourself, how cynical can this gang
get? I asked Philip Stenning, a leading expert on firearms policy, how
we got into this billion-dollar mess. "Ideology and incompetence," he answered.
"They were on a moral crusade."(The "Moral Crusade"
is Over.. The public now has their eyes wide open. Everything should immediately
go back to where it was before this 'Moral Minority' started tampering
with the law. Common sense ownership laws, combined with safe storage are
all that was needed before, and are all that is needed now! The laws should
be aimed directly at those who use or possess firearms while in the commision
of a crime, not duck hunters and target shooters.)
GUN
REGISTRY SHOULD PASS THE AUDITOR GENERAL’S PUBLIC SAFETY TEST
Ottawa – Today, Garry Breitkreuz, Official Opposition Critic for
Firearms and Property Rights, reintroduced his
Firearms Law Sunset Act for the fourth time. “We believe in
gun control, but the programs have to actually reduce the criminal use
of firearms. They must also be cost-effective and work better than
other program alternatives,” stated Breitkreuz. “Last week the Liberal
government’s credibility took an awful hit but it’s just the start.
Not only did they mislead Parliament and the public about the cost of the
gun registry, they have also misled Parliament about the number of guns
and gun owners in Canada, the number of firearms involved in crime, and
the number of lives saved by their gun registry", observed Breitkreuz.
“We’ll keep digging up the evidence to expose their billion-dollar boondoggle.
One day, in the not too distant future, I hope the Auditor General will
validate all the evidence we’ve amassed with respect to the ineffectiveness
of the gun registry just like she did on costs last week. Then these
billions can go for programs that have been proven to control crime,” concluded
Breitkreuz. (The Liberal Government and 'fringe females'
like Wendy Cukier should be champing on the bit to accept this! Are you
holding your breath? I'm not. They know very little of this gun control
farce can pass this test. The entire act is NOT based on safety, but ideological
dreams and feelgood legislation most of which most make no sense what-so-ever.
If they 'really' feel this farce is about safety, and NOT simple control,
they should have NO objection to the Auditor General giving this thing
the 'smell' test, but they will fight it tooth and nail. Why? because they
know the law is WRONG and virtually useless)
Pistol-packing
profligates
We must be very, very grateful that those who own guns have better
aim than those who want to control guns. The combined brainpower and foresight
of Homer Simpson and Mr. Magoo couldn't have composed the billion-dollar
nullity that is still ludicrously referred to as our national gun registry.
It is incomplete, out of control, and is a typhoon of overspending. Furthermore,
its accounting has been a prodigy of slyness and concealment. If the money
available to build a gun registry were available to our health-care system,
Canada would now have more hospitals than convenience stores, every citizen
would be assigned at birth two personal physicians (a specialist and a
GP), and we would have our own medical space program consisting of a girdle
of MRI clinics circling the planet.(Someone should
tell Ottawa, that if it was not for the "American Gun Culture" a DIRECT
extention of their military abilities and training, our ass would be grass..
)
Ottawa's
hopeless incompetence
This is a column born in near-despair.
The government of Canada is hopelessly incompetent and the majority
of Canadian voters, who show every sign of continuing to support it, are
a flock of hapless turkeys. Last week's Auditor-General's revelations about
the ballooning net cost of the Canadian gun registry -- more than 400 times
original estimates and rising -- and the systematic misleading of Parliament
by the Department of Justice of Canada ought surely to be the last straw
of evidence anyone needs. This is nothing like the penny-ante stretching
of rules that did in dim-bulb Cabinet ministers such as Art Eggleton and
Lawrence MacAulay. This is systematic, massive, deliberate overspending
and deception, aimed at implementing a program of dubious value that a
handful of ideologues convinced the Liberal Cabinet and caucus to support
in the teeth of opposition concerns that have proven thoroughly valid.
If you want to see a real change of government in Canada in your lifetime,
you're going to have to screw up your courage, swallow your reservations
and vote for the Alliance in the next election. If you're not ready to
do that, then you might as well stop gobbling and grumbling as the Liberals
carve up you, your family and your country. You are getting and will
get the government you deserve.(Amen!)
Chief
says Canadian army risks insolvency
"Our collective skills," he added, "have now eroded to a level that
I have real concerns that we just can't get them back," Lt.-Gen. Jeffery
said. Brigadier-General Andrew Leslie, who commands all land forces
in Ontario, was even more blunt. "If we don't get more money in the next
federal budget, I'd say we're screwed," he said in a separate interview
on Saturday.(Perhaps the Liberal plan was to donate
all the confiscated civilian guns to our military.. )
Presenting:
Liberal Billion Dollar Boondoggles 1 thru 5
Now for those of you in constant search for the island of sanity,
the current federal administration has managed to bring you “Billion-Dollar
Boondoggle” NUMBER 5. Why number 5? The Grits are stuck between a (Allan)
rock and a hard place. More than $1 billion, a far cry from
the original estimate of $2-million, will have been lost making law-abiding
duck hunters into criminals. “Billion-Dollar Boondoggle” number 5 consists
of the irrational and illogical firearms registration!(Yup
Count em 1..2..3..4..5.. => 23.6 BILLION the Liberals could have spent
on Healthcare, the Military, REAL Homeland Security.. But nope.. It was
all just 'flushed'! And why not? After all, the people of Eastern Canada,
particularly my provence of Ontario, gave these incompetents a BLANK CHEQUE
MAJORITY. I hope this makes 'anyone' that still admits to voting liberal
in the last 3 elections very happy! )
American
Homeland Security?
Does it bother me the government now has such broad powers?
Yes and no. Yes, because the last time I read the US Constitution, they
really should not have the right to invade my privacy without a court-ordered
warrant. No, because I want them to invade the privacy of everyone
of the more than one thousand mosques, the many Muslim parochial schools
and Arab "charities" in America. I may be a patriot, but I am not stupid
either. For good measure, Red China owns huge facilities at both ends of
the Panama Canal and a large port facility in Los Angeles. Canada will
accept any foreigner who gets off the airplane and asks for protection.
The Mexican government is issuing identification cards to any one of their
citizens who wants to cross our border legally or illegally. Many American
banks accept these cards so they can open an account and ship money to
the folks back home. In some states, they are sufficient proof to
get a driver's license. So, please, the next time someone in high office
tells you about homeland security, try not to laugh. Try not to cry
either.(Our government took a billion dollars from
healthcare and 'our' homeland security to push forward their social engineering
and gun control agenda! At least, the average American is armed enough
to defend themselves from the known terrorists 'our' government has welcomed
with open arms! Don't you wish YOU could have the right to 'carry' somehing
for your own self-defence?)
Christmas
draws near, chattering Liberals hope for a change at the top
There will be talk, as there has been talk for days now, of the
shifting fortunes of party and leader. The billion-dollar gun-registry
fiasco, which appears to have aroused a grassroots anger not seen since
the elitist days of the constitutional accords, has caused a quick
shift in sentiment toward the Prime Minister's personal timetable.
Sympathy for the leader's wishes is suddenly less compelling than sympathy
for the party's needs -- and the party needs to distance itself from what
is becoming a very long string of affronts to a testy electorate. And the
best way to do that in politics, of course, is to cut and run. Cut the
strings to the past; run with a new leader, new faces and new ideas.(As
has been said many times before: "Politicians and diapers need to be changed
regularly-- And, for exactly the same reasons". Chrétien is in good
company, Liberal party members are ALL standing around with full diapers!)
Like
any other Rock, he just lies around!
Industry Minister Allan Rock defended Ottawa's
beleaguered gun registry and said he doesn't think the massive cost overrun
will hurt his potential Liberal leadership ambitions. "If I run, I've always
intended to advertise an association with what I think is a terrific
achievement in the prime minister's government," Rock told CTV's
Question Period Sunday. "My point is, 'let's not undermine the law', which
is sound." "I'm fully committed to gun control," Cauchon said. "Yes, I'm
concerned as a minister and Canadians have a right to be concerned. And
we will fix it and have a good registry." Rock said no single department
or bureaucrat is responsible for the bloated cost of the program. "It's
a government responsibility," said Rock. "We all collectively took part
in this. We ran on a platform of gun control."(They
actually ran on a 'red book' full of grandiose promises, most of
which have never been fulfilled. If 'gun control was in the 'red book'
it was no more than a footnote. Allan Rock is right to say "No single department
or bureaucrat is responsible" because the corruption runs right through
the ENTIRE party. Also, keep in mind that this is the 'same' person that
said
he
would shut down the registry if it reached $150,000,000.00.. Not only
did he do the liberal thing, and lie! He's the 'Reverse Midis' of the liberal
party.. From Cipro to gun control, everything he touches turns to shit!)
Lib-er-al:
A once great party; name now mud
Remember Eatons? For decades, the name was synonymous with quality,
good service, and "satisfaction guaranteed." Then one day, thanks to mismanagement,
the collective opinion of Eatons changed. Half-empty stores, high prices,
and lousy service. The Eatons name was rebranded, from a positive to a
negative. And the company was doomed. The Liberal Party of Canada
was rebranded last week. The party that slew the deficit, that brought
fiscal responsibility to Ottawa, is now the party that blew a billion
dollars on a gun registry that doesn't work, and then tried to hide the
boondoggle from Parliament.(The registry CAN'T survive
with 70% of it's funding gone.. Supporting even a 'part' of this incredible
waste will be political suicide for any MP now.. Chrétien will make
every vote to fund this farce a 'confidence vote' thereby assuring every
liberal trough wallower that their very job will be in danger. This will
happen, right up until any of the honest ones that might be left, rebel
and crash the government. One can only hope!)
How
the Liberals Stole Your Tax Dollars
The delays and cost overruns were well-known within the bureaucracy,
but Parliament only got information in bits and pieces. Part of the problem
is that 70 per cent of the funding came from supplementary estimates, which
is a way of doling out money for unexpected costs. It doesn't require
the rigorous reporting needed for the main estimates, where most
of a department's funding is supposed to come from.(With
70% of their funding obtained from under the parliamentary table now gone,
the firearms registry's days are truly numbered. The 'only' thing that
will buoy up their confidence, is public compliance with this fraudulent
fiasco. The phones at the C.F.C. should be silent. I would hope that if
you hear a busy signal, it's because the bureaucracy has taken the vast
majority of them out of service, to make it look as if people 'still' want
to support this theft of taxpayers money, by calling the centre and complying
with this incredible public deception)
Liberal
Math Just Doesn't Add Up
Yesterday, the House of Commons forced the government to yank a
request for an extra $72 million to be spent on the hopelessly mismanaged
firearms registry. Now, the Liberal Government has decided to sic its public
servants from the Justice Department onto Canada's newspaper editors, to
do the Liberals' dirty work for them and spin, spin, spin. What are they
saying? That the $72 million request was part of the original budget for
the firearms registry, and was not new cash. (I think
at this point, even the 'very' left winged Globe and Mail is not
scattering some of that bullshit around. )
The
Man with the Golden Gun Registry
Allan Rock says don't blame him, he only started it while the current
justice minister says Canadians are only beginning to see the social
benefits. Is the firearms registry a billion-dollar smoking gun for the
Liberals? This week on Global Sunday Wendy Cukier of the Coalition Against
Firearms debates SFU Professor Gary Mauser. Have your say in our web poll,
discussion forum and feedback line.(This is
gonna be good!! Click
here for broadcast times in your area.. Go get her Gary!!.. As it turned
out, Gary Mauser AND Garry Breitkreuz did a fine job for Canadian gun owners
against what looked like a couple of bumbling women spouting, the
same old twisted 'facts(?) and 'feelgood' liberal dogma.. The following
'Global National' report also did a fine job of telling Canadian how they
have been deceived by the liberal government!)
Ottawa
Police Chief Lives in a Fantasy Land
Hon. Martin Cauchon (Minister of Justice and Attorney General of
Canada, Lib.): Mr. Speaker, what the ember just said proved that those
members do not believe in safe communities. They do not believe in our
policy. They do not believe in gun registration. What we are talking
about here is about values. It is about making our communities safer. Having
said that, let us proceed with a quote from Mr. Vince Bevan, the chief
of police from Ottawa-Carleton. He said, “Information is the lifeblood
of policing. Without information about who owns and has guns, there is
no way to prevent violence or effectively enforce the law. This law is
a useful tool which has already begun to show its value in a number of
police investigations”.(Really? The Ontario
Police Association says it's virtually worthless? Why is the Ottawa
Police Chief still taking a 'political' stand? Is the man 'that ' incompetent?
Perhaps he should show some 'examples' of how the registry has helped his
officers! But don't hold your breath!)
Your
"Saturday Night Special" is ok for now, but Don't get caught with Grandpa's
old Single Shot Cooey!
The current amnesty for prohibited handguns has been extended (Again)
until
December 31, 2003. This amnesty applies to businesses and individuals with
prohibited handguns that were acquired lawfully under the former law but
that the owner is not eligible to possess under the Firearms Act. Prohibited
handguns include handguns with a barrel length of 105 mm or less and handguns
that discharge 25 or 32 calibre ammunition, except for a few specific handguns
used in competitions governed by the rules of the International Shooting
Union. Extending the amnesty gives owners more time to explore their options
and to take appropriate action to dispose of prohibited handguns that they
cannot lawfully keep.(Isn't this absolutely absurd!!
If the 'sticker' falls of your old cooey, can you also be charged?)
Victims'
families defend registry
MONTREAL -- The national firearms registry is more to Catherine
Bergeron than a way to keep track of rifles and pistols -- it's a link
to a cherished sister who was slain in a gunman's rampage. "It's
sort of a balm," she said yesterday as Canada prepared to mark today's
13th anniversary of the country's worst mass shooting. "I told myself that
my sister wouldn't die in vain, so one of the things I fought for was that
law." Gunman Marc Lepine carried a grudge against women along with his
assault rifle as he blasted his way through the University of Montreal's
engineering school that night, before killing himself. (Perhaps
she would be a little dubious of this 'feel-good gun registry' if
she new that the terrible assult rifle used by Lepine, a Ruger
Mini-14, today isn't even classified as a restricted firearm
and can be bought over the counter by anyone with the money and a P.A.L.)
Memorials
for slain women to address gun control debate
Wendy Cukier, president of the Coalition for Gun Control,
said it's been hard watching the law she fought for come under attack.
"If you see the way that's been played out this week, and the call to repeal
the law, and the calls for Alan Rock's head and so on, it's discouraging,"
said Cukier. Cukier said she is inspired by the strength of the families
of the women who were killed 13 years ago.(I wonder
if she is also "inspired" by the 'thousands' of families of the women who
have been victims of breast cancer, and families of the women who
have died while waiting for a MRI scan, both of which have suffered because
of millions and millions dollars re-directed into the gun control farce?
'Shame' is what she should be feeling over the lives that 'could' have
been saved if it were not for her, and Alan Rock's personal phobias.
The really sad part is, many of these women would not have died had even
one of them had access to a personal firearm. Canadian law says women 'must'
be a victim to an armed assailant. Perhaps Canadian law is also saying
women are too incompetent to protect themselves and should 'never' be allowed
to carry a firearm. I think most women would, and should, argue that governmental
belief!)
'Look'!!!
It's a NEW Liberal Record!
Auditor General Sheila Fraser says the national firearms program
represents the worst example of government overspending that anyone in
her office has ever encountered. In the fat annals of government overspending
and mismanagement, the gun registry now ranks as one of the federal
government's most dubious achievements. "I think it's obvious that right
from the start there were problems, that the registry was far more complex
than had been initially estimated," said Ms. Fraser. "People compared it
to registering a motor vehicle, but it's a whole lot more complex than
registering a motor vehicle."(I Don't think even
the 'Trough Walling Trudeau Liberals' could ever top this one! And the
absolutely unbelievable part is 'THEY WANT TO DUMP EVEN MORE MONEY
INTO IT!!'.. Most of their own members no longer support it,(One
Liberal source said there were fears that up to 50
backbenchers were prepared to boycott yesterday's vote.)
the police no longer support it, the "Minimum Sentences" defined by the
firearms act are rarely 'if ever' used. There are more illegal guns on
the street now than ever before. Illegal handguns 'the legal ones
have been registered in Canada for over sixty years' are now the number
one murder firearm in the country. Anyone that says facts such as these,
point to the success of the firearms program, has a serious brain defect
and perhaps should face a mandatory competency hearing! )
Just a Reminder to the politicians
who say firearms registration is worth the money, and a safety issue.
"Allan
Rock promised gun owners in Arnprior, Ontario that he would cancel the
gun registry if
the
total cost exceeded $150 million," The 'minimum'
cost is almost seven times that now. How can 'He' argue for it's continuance,
when he himself felt that stepping beyond the $150,000,000 mark would
be too much to spend? The Liberals are insisting that firearms registration
is a definite SAFETY ISSUE. And as such, is responsible for keeping Canadian
safe! If this is so, why did the C.F.C., on January the 9th, issue a "Risk
Assessment Notice" that clearly states under the heading 'Public Safety':
"Risk to public safety is mitigated through licensing - It
is not a registration issue" Even the police say it
hasn't saved lives. Are the Liberals now telling the public that they
know more about crime and public safety than the police? Give it up. Canadians
are getting wise to the antics of a few 'gun-o-phobes' that have what seems
to be, an irrational psychotic fear of armed law abiding civilians.
Help IS available, but YOU have to take the first step by
admitting you have a problem.)
CASH
FLOW SHUT DOWN TO FAILED FIREARM REGISTRY
OTTAWA – “Today, was the first day of the end of the gun registry,”
predicted Garry Breitkreuz, Official Opposition Critic for Firearms and
Property Rights. “A program can’t run without money and we’ll keep
pressing the government until all the funding for this useless program
is cut off completely.” “The Liberal government admitted defeat today by
pulling an additional $72-million in spending on the gun registry from
the Supplementary Estimates before it came to a controversial vote
in the House tonight,” commented Breitkreuz. “This is unprecedented in
the history of Parliament. The taps have turned off. This is
the beginning of the end for this latest billion-dollar boondoggle.” (It
looks as if the Liberals can see the light at the end of the tunnel!!!
and its a Freight Train!!!)
We're
Winning!!!!
Liberals
drop gun registry funding request
OTTAWA (CP) - An embarrassed Liberal government backtracked on a
request for more funding to the bloated $1-billion gun registry Thursday,
two days after the auditor general slammed the program for runaway spending.
Justice Minister Martin Cauchon told the House of Commons that the government
is postponing a controversial motion, which was to have been voted on Thursday,
seeking another $72 million for the program. The move to withdraw the motion
would require unanimous consent in the House of Commons and sources said
a deal was in place for opposition agreement Thursday. Alliance
and Conservative MPs said the reversal is a breakthrough in their longstanding
battle against the program. Cauchon signalled for the
first time Thursday that the government might be willing to stop funding
to the beleaguered program. (I
think the Government can't wait to pull the plug on this embarrassment.
They were only waiting for the best "Save Face" situation to arrive and
now they have it.. PULL THE PLUG STOP THE WASTE.. I wonder what a BILLION
Dollars would have done in this case Hmmm
1,000,000,000 / 3,000,000 = 333 MRI's)
NFA Newswire Dec.
5th "The Promise"
Even
Liberals attack government over gun registry costs
Thunder Bay MP Joe Comuzzi says
caucus is weighing a proposal to suspend all gun registrations until Parliament
determines who authorized the cost overruns. (YAAAAHOOOOO
I hope they have the guts to do it!!)
Rock
blames gun lobby, & provinces for $1-billion gun registry overrun
"Some provinces refused to administer it and left it just
to us. Ralph Klein and Mike Harris wanted nothing to do with effective
gun control," he said. "The gun lobby made it very complicated
by resisting the law at every turn and impeding the administration." (Oh
Boo Hoo.. This typical 'city dwelling yuppy liberal' just does not get
it!! Canadians are tired of being sheep.. Tired of simply sitting back
and saying "oh well what can we do". This is BAD legislation, and people
are doing what they are supposed to be doing when faced with BAD LEGISLATION
and that is FIGHT BACK. This seems to have shocked the Liberals, who are
used to dealing with SHEEP!)
Shot
through with waste
The millions spent registering hunting rifles could have been
used to cleanse cities of handguns
What is astonishing about this story is how long it has taken the
federal government to realize it had blown this initiative. The now-surprised
politicians would have known long before the cost overruns began coming
in if they'd merely cocked an urban ear to the rural wind. This singular
issue, after all, had even cost the ruling Liberals a safe seat in the
last election, when Alliance MP Cheryl Gallant defeated Liberal Hector
Clouthier in Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke. Two days before the election,
the incumbent Clouthier, himself a hunter, happened to be speaking to an
area outdoor sportsmen's club when the issue arose, tempers blew, and the
candidate knew, in a heartbeat, that he was done. "I got crucified on gun
registration," Mr. Clouthier said yesterday from Parliament Hill,
where he now works as a special assistant to the Prime Minister. "That's
what did me in." He may merely have been the first. (Hopefully
there are a hell of a lot more to follow!)
One
billion reasons to be worried
Costs and inefficiencies aside, what really bothers me about the
audit report is that the firearms program has lost its focus on real criminals.
The audit revealed, " ... the program's focus had changed from high risk
firearms owners and their firearms to excessive regulation and enforcement
of controls over all owners and their firearms." And, "the Department
said the excessive regulation had occurred because some of its program
partners believed that the use of firearms is in itself a 'questionable
activity' that required strong controls, and there should be a zero-tolerance
attitude toward non-compliance with the Firearms Act." Bad hunters. Shame...(I
predict, that this whole farce will come to a screeching halt very soon..
Everything will sit in limbo until the feds try to figure out how to recover
from this mess. The registry will be scrapped, the firearms act re-written,
and perhaps some sanity will return to firearms laws in this country. But
it IS real nice of the Justice Minister to announce that he will give you
six months to get your paperwork from the government before he throws your
ass in jail for their incompetence!)
PM
tries to deflect blame for gun fiasco
MPs voiced their dismay at the meeting, where according to MPs,
Deputy
Prime Minister John Manley acknowledged the problems, saying: "It's a mess."
The government will vote tomorrow on whether it will obtain more firearms-registry
money when it asks Parliament to approve an additional $72-million for
this year, after $41-million was included in the initial budget in
February. (Our Prime Minister previously made the
statement:"Why buy repeater carbines and nuclear
armament -- if this is kept at home a child can play with it".(French
CBC (SRC), Montreal 1997 May 21) So,
obviously the man has a handle on the problem(? Too bad it's stuck
in his ass!!) If there ever was a reason to vote down MORE
funds for this farce, this is IT.. MP's that vote to give this farce even
MORE money are showing their incompetence, and willingness to rape the
taxpayer again!.. If they do the right thing, and refuse the additional
funding for this farce, it will go a long way to restoring 'some' of the
confidence in this government. It might even show they are capable of recognizing
failure when they see it, and are prepared to do something the curb MORE
waste! And 'That' would be a first for 'this' government.. After all, they
have to start somewhere!)
'If
I had a billion dollars'
There's almost no end to the projects and programs
that could have been paid for by the gun registry wastage, writes Kate
Jaimet.
If I had a billion dollars, Justice Minister Martin Cauchon might
sing, I'd register every gun in Canada. The billion-dollar federal firearms
registry has exceeded by a thousandfold the dreams of the Barenaked Ladies,
who sang about throwing away a mere million on tree forts, fake fur coats
and dijon ketchup. (The list of projects that
could have used a BILLION DOLLARS to 'Really' save lives is endless. However,
a Registry of all the "LEGAL" guns in Canada is not even on it. Anyone
that could believe registering the firearms of law abiding citizens
could make any significant difference in overall public safety is first
class fool that has more of a psychotic fear of firearms, than a desire
for general public safety!)
POLICE:
Gun registry hasn't 'saved lives'
$1B could have been better spent on police work, officers'
group says
TORONTO -- The Police Association of Ontario says there are
more cost effective ways to "save lives" than the federal government's
firearms registry. "The amount of money that has been spent on this registry
would be better invested in front-line policing," Mr. Miller said. Following
a scathing report on the program's soaring cost by Auditor General Sheila
Fraser, Industry Minister Allan Rock, who held the justice portfolio when
the registry legislation was introduced in 1995, defended the program by
suggesting it prevented several hundred deaths. (It's
nice to see the first of the police associations finally speaking out..
How Ever, it's extremely unfortunate the Canadian Police Association
gave the government their support last year, and it may be coming back
to haunt them. With out their previous support, this farce could have folded
early and saved taxpayer a lot of money. It almost certainly would have
put a good chunk of dough into front line policing. NOW they should speak
out.. NOW they should abandon this farce.. NOW they should do what
they should have done LAST YEAR.. Go for it guys.. You have 'nothing' to
loose and 'everything' to gain..)
Manatoba:Province
wants Cauchon to abandon gun registry
Mayor Glen Murray joined Doer in blasting the fiasco, pointing out
the billion-dollar registry payout is half the amount a coalition of cities
will ask Ottawa to pay in annual infrastructure support in the next
couple of days. "This ain't no way to run a gun registration program.
We're quite disappointed in the way it's been managed, obviously,
and concerned about that," Murray told The Sun. Police Chief Jack
Ewatski didn't return calls for comment. The Canadian Taxpayers Federation
and Manitoba-based People For Justice also said the plug should be pulled
on the gun registration program. "We agree with the voice of the
West where it's basically a total waste of money," said Jack McLaughlin,
the justice group's founder. (AT LAST!!! One by One
the Provinces will speak out on this mess, demanding it be shelved.)
Rock's
Bid to spread wings clipped by criticism of cost overruns at firearms registry
Liberal MP Benoit Serré, who called
for Mr. Rock's resignation, agreed the flap over gun control is a leadership
issue. "If they want to make it a leadership issue, sure, I'll make it
a leadership issue," Mr. Serré said. "Who wants a leader who says
a project is going to cost $85-million and it ends up costing $1-billion?"(I'm
sure Martin is claiming 'ignorance' of the overruns surrounding this
farce as well.. We currently have a 'Health Minister/former Justice Minister,
and a Current Justice Minister that are also guilty of hiding information
from parliament. They ALL should go!)
"Ahhh There's Good News Tonight!"
Massive
overruns at firearms registry
OTTAWA - Canadians have been kept in the dark about the skyrocketing
costs of the government's $1-billion gun registration system, which
has run to hundreds of times the initial estimate of $2-million, Sheila
Fraser, the Auditor-General, reported yesterday. In a scathing report,
she said the public and Parliament were also not told about flaws
in the system that the RCMP warns could allow violent people to legally
buy guns. Ms. Fraser said she cannot tally the real costs of the gun registry
to date because the Justice Department does not have the information she
needs to do it and, until yesterday, refused to get it.The
report said even Ms. Fraser's auditors were unable to penetrate the
labyrinth of information on the gun registry. "We stopped our audit when
an initial review indicated that there were significant shortcomings
in the information provided," she reported. "We concluded that the information
does not fairly present the cost of the program to the government." She
said it was the first time her office had discontinued an audit because
it could not get the information it needed to complete a job. Fraser
assails 'inexcusable' failure to reveal registry's soaring price tag:
Progressive Conservative Leader Joe Clark accused the Liberals of keeping
a "$700-million secret" from Parliament and taxpayers. "The minister [Mr.
Cauchon] can't get away with saying 'I'm sorry.' He broke the law
of Parliament and so did his Prime Minister. They knew about $700-million
in overspending. They had an obligation to tell the House of Commons and
they zipped their lips."(Guilty of a
Blatant disregard for parliament and the taxpayer in general, this government
has been caught dealing under the parliamentary table, to fund the 'real'
as yet unknown, hidden agenda driving this gun farce. This whole thing
should come to a screeching halt right now, while a 'sensible' plan and
'sensible' firearms act based on logic and facts, rather than fear, lies,
and ignorance, be put in place so at least 'some' of this waste can be
recovered. One question remains in my mind! Will 'normally' Law Abiding
Gun Owners be charged for breaking the law, when the government, has in
fact, broken the laws of parliament to implement it?)

fears abuse of gun registry
(This is a 'Canoe' link and will

OTTAWA (CP) -- Canadian Alliance Leader Stephen Harper says gun
owners may be right in believing that the national firearms registry will
be a launching pad for gun confiscations. That's a realistic fear,
Harper said Wednesday as he entered a caucus meeting. "One of the
fears that gun owners have always had is that one of the few uses
of the registry is to make conficscation programs more easy in the future,"
he said. "And I think that fear is justified. I think that most of the
advocates of the registry favour confiscation." (And
Harper is RIGHT. Registration Does mean Eventual Confiscation. )
AUDITOR
GENERAL BLOWS A BIG HOLE IN GOVERNMENT’S CREDIBILITY
Ottawa – Today was the first day of harvest for Garry Breitkreuz’s
nine-year fight against the Liberal’s problem-plagued gun registry.
“The Auditor General has done another huge service for Canadian taxpayers
today and in the process she blew a big hole in the government’s credibility,”
said Breitkreuz, the Official Opposition Critic for Firearms and Property
Rights. “The Auditor General confirmed what we have been reporting
for years: that the gun registry is going to cost more than a billion
dollars. She even told us that the Liberals have also known this
fact for two years and knowingly withheld this information from Parliament.
I hope citizens hold the Liberals accountable for their cover-up.”(Conceived
in Lies and Deceit, Implemented with Lies and Deceit. Maintained on Lies
and Deceit, And continuing the path of lies and deceit! The auditor is
far from done, and the bullshit goes on. The Response to the Auditor General
from the Justice Department continues the lies and deceit. QUOTE: "Public
safety is the objective of this initiative, and costs have to be viewed
in relation to increased safety achieved with this program. It
is worth noting that under the new program, 50 times more license revocations
from potentially dangerous individuals have occurred as compared to the
last five years of the old program." Under
the FAC system, there was a 0.76% refusal rate, But under the 'improved'
safety methods of the firearms farce, this rate dropped to 0.38%.. which
means that if the refusal rate was at least EQUAL to the old FAC system,
about 7000 MORE licences would NOT have been issued to people
that should NOT have them.. The ONLY thing that the public is going
to see that's 50 times higher, is the eventual cost of this farce..)
And
the 'Shrieking Feminist Extremists' support this Horrible Waste
While women are dying by the hundreds every
day from breast cancer, these fringe females (and one police chief) support
the diversion of funds from projects that will actually SAVE LIVES to their
ongoing psychotic hatred of the 'evil gun'. For example 29 Million dollars
has been given recently by the government, for breast cancer research.
While, at the same time 72 Million dollars was handed over to the
'firearms farce' Breast cancer research has received a grand total of 86
Million dollars. (source NFA newswire)
While the 'firearms
farce' has received OVER ONE BILLION dollars, enough
to install 300 Badly Needed MRI's in this country, and these 'Shrieking
Feminist' think this is just great. For all of you that are currently watching
Sisters, Wives, and Mothers dying of this horrible disease, or waiting
months for a MRI scan, consider the number of lives that COULD have been
saved if it weren't for this 'Special Interest Group of 'Feminist'(?)
Hoplophobes". DR. ANTOINE CHAPDELAINE, CANADIAN PUBLIC HEALTH ASSOCIATION
Particularly, should be hanging her head in shame for supporting this inexcusable
waste of money, and by extension, human life! This 'fringe' thinking group
is pathetic enough to try and make us believe that THOUSANDS of women are
dying from gunshots when in fact: In Ontario, Injury remains, however,
the leading cause of death among people under age 45. There were
3,145 injury deaths in Ontario in 1999-2000. Of
those, 199 involved firearms. Most people (93 per cent) who died of
firearm injuries were men and most (83 per cent) were suicides. Fifteen
per cent of firearm deaths were homicides. The remaining deaths were either
unintentional injuries or injuries where the intent was undetermined. Banning
bridges and subways would make as much sense as banning firearms to prevent
suicides, which are 'clearly' the leading cause of firearms deaths, and
not likely preventable by banning 'anything')
The
Auditors Generals Report
10.2 In 1995 the Department told Parliament that the Canadian Firearms
Program would cost $119 million to implement, which would be offset by
$117 million in fees. We requested the Department provide us with information
on Program costs and revenues for the period 1995-96 to 2001-02. The information
the Department provided states that by 2001-02 it has spent about $688
million on the Program and collected about $59 million in revenues after
refunds. We believe that this information does not fairly present
the cost of the Program to the government. (One just
has to keep in mind, that 'whatever' hits the fan, it's never distributed
evenly. It's just Too Bad the Auditor General does not have the authority
to shut down this absolute mess! Hopefully as more people learn more about
this horrendous waste, the screaming for heads will start!)
Canada's
auditor general blasted the federal government and it's Gun Registry
OTTAWA - Canada's auditor general has blasted the federal government
after finding that the cost of Ottawa's gun registry program has ballooned
to about $1 billion. INDEPTH: Gun Control Sheila Fraser says
not only is the program hundreds of millions of dollars over budget, but
the government kept increased costs from parliament. Fraser outlined
her concerns in her latest report tabled in Ottawa Tuesday. The report
says that when the gun control law was passed in 1995, the
government estimated that the program would cost $119 million. Registration
fees would bring in $117 million, with taxpayers picking up $2 million.
The latest estimates say that 2005, gun registration will actually
cost $1 billion and that registration fees will raise only $140 million.
That means the program will cost taxpayers $860 million. (This
is 'feel good' legislation, the will NEVER be cost effective, and NEVER
do what the government said it would. The Police Don't support it anymore
and neither should YOU.. It will continue to suck money out of the tax
payers pockets for years to come. Cauchon's attitude is 'Oh well, the money
we spent is gone, let just make this work..' WELL IT
WON'T WORK, AND NO MORE MONEY SHOULD BE WASTED ON THIS FARCE. The
liberals just don't get it!)
Natives
given free bullets
Gun licences not required: Disproportionately high number of
aboriginals involved in homicides
The documents show band officials can hand out the ammunition to
members who do not have firearms licences required elsewhere for the
purchase of firearms and ammunition. The exemption applies only to aboriginals
receiving ammunition in fulfilment of treaty obligations. Mr. Breitkreuz
has challenged the government to explain the distribution of so much
ammunition to First Nation bands without enforcing a Firearms Act requirement
that anyone buying ammunition must also hold a valid firearms ownership
licence or firearms ownership and acquisition licence. The Alliance MP,
whose officials released documents yesterday pointing to an alarming rate
of homicide involvement among aboriginals, said he expects Auditor-General
Sheila Fraser to reveal dramatic evidence today that the firearms registration
and licensing system is hopelessly over budget.(Well,
Liberal "Race Based Laws"! I'm not against bands receiving free ammo as
part of a treaty, but the law is clear! No licence no Ammo OR Guns..
The CFC FAQ's state they MUST
have a Licence The government now says only 'some' people need
a licence, and THAT depends on your 'race'.. It's either that, or the government
is breaking MORE of their firearms laws! Which is it ?)
Auditor-General
targets gun registry
Ottawa — Auditor-General Sheila Fraser has examined for the first
time the massive cost overrun of the federal gun registry and will
report her finding Tuesday. The amount spent on the controversial federal
program established in 1995 — expected to reach $1-billion by 2004
— is more than 10 times its original price tag, critics complain. The cost
to taxpayers of the registry, introduced to help stem gun violence,
has never been examined by the Auditor-General until now, despite early
calls for an investigation from critics and users of the system. "Clearly
something has gone wrong," Canadian Alliance MP Garry Breitkreuz, a long-time
registry critic, said Monday.(It's hard to imagine
the Auditor General finding 'anything' good about the horrible waste surrounding
this Liberal Farce. A BILLION DOLLARS Wasted.. It's enough to make
you sick! And if you 'are' sick, it could have been enough to cure you..
Did a family member need an MRI but couldn't get one in time? Don't forget
to thank a Liberal. They could have bought and installed hundreds of them
right across the country for the same money wasted on this "Gun Farce"!)
No
guns for our airline pilots
Transport Minister David Collenette yesterday doused any possibility
of arming Canadian airline pilots and said he is concerned aboutU.S. pilots
flying into Canada carrying guns. Under a law that came into force last
month, American pilots will be allowed to carry firearms in the cockpit
on a voluntary basis, once they are properly trained and certified.
The rule also applies to international routes, which means pilots could
be armed on flights arriving in Canada from the U.S. "In a civil society,
surely we should be ensuring the security is tough so (terrorists) don't
get on planes and objects don't get stowed and the cockpit is secure,"
he said yesterday.(As usual, our government has their
collective heads buried in the sand. Collenette could be right, if we had
the security services to back it up, but we don't.. America will force
Canadian Aircraft to be 'defend able' from with-in, or they will pose a
direct threat to American cities. To not trust a pilot with a firearm,
is the height of paranoia! Collenette should definitely seek psychiatric
help! Your life may depend on it.)
37,865
Registrations In Processing For More Than A Year
BREITKREUZ ATI REQUEST – Dated November 4, 2002 “For the period
from December 1, 1998 to present [November 6, 2002], please provide copies
of records and reports showing the total number of gun registration applications
currently in processing and showing the numbers and how long the registration
applications have been in backlog.” (Hoping to get
your registration in time to meet the 6 month deadline the government has
given YOU before they charge YOU for their incompetence?
Too
Bad your 'Caught between a Rock and a Cauchon' ...GOOD LUCK!!
Terrorists
could slip by us: coast guard chief
Mr. Adams' blunt assessment echoes the conclusions of a Senate report
in September that said Canada's coastlines are vulnerable to terrorists
and their weapons of mass destruction.While the coast guard has the ability
to track suspicious boats near busy waterways, its hands are tied in areas
such as the central and northern B.C. coast where there is no radar capability.
Until this year, the Prince Rupert station tracked vessels using a Second
World War-style table map over which little wooden boats were moved around
manually. Mr. Adams, who reports to Mr. Thibault, said the service can
do its job, but needs $400-million over three to five years just to renew
its aging vessels. He also wants to boost its annual capital budget from
about $40 million to $200 million.(It simply boggles
the mind that our government is willing to dump OVER TWICE the amount of
money needed by our Coast Guard TO PROTECT THE ENTIRE COUNTRY, into
the registration and persecution of duck hunters, farm widows, and target
shooters. WHAT THE HELL IS DRIVING THEIR PRIORITIES? This is a question
EVERY CANADIAN should be asking their MP!!! And don't settle for the "public
safety" crap, because it has 'nothing' to do with public safety. Canadians
are NOT and never were in danger from 'duck hunters' and 'target shooters')
The
Man Who Would be King!
"I think [the GST] is an incredibly stupid, inept tax," he said,
promising that within the first six months of a Liberal government, "I'd
abolish the damn thing." Mr. Martin, they point out, voted against an opposition
motion calling for an independent ethics commissioner and did not attend
a vote to implement a Liberal Red Book promise to name opposition members
to the Speaker's chair. Despite his calls for debate and leadership from
the backbench, Mr. Martin was a member of a Cabinet that invoked closure
of debate and time allocation a record 80 times. Mr. Martin also voted
against 24 of 27 private members' bills pertaining to his department when
he was finance minister. Finally, Mr. Martin voted against a bill from
John Bryden, a Liberal backbencher, that would have updated the Access
to Information Act to include Crown corporations.Mr. Martin also voted
with his party on all other controversial bills, such as the 1995 firearms
bill.(So what's going to change with a 'new' Liberal
prime minister? Absolutely Nothing at ALL.. It will be business and patronage
and trough wallowing and lies as usual.. How can you tell when a liberal
is lying? Simple! His lips are moving!)
WHAT
DID TAXPAYERS GET FOR THEIR BILLION DOLLARS?
Back in 1995, when Bill C-68, the Firearms Act, was being debated
in the House of Commons, twenty Reform MPs took that opportunity to warn
the government that it would cost a billion dollars to register all the
guns in Canada. Then Justice Minister Allan Rock pooh-poohed our
projections saying: “We have provided our estimate of the cost of implementing
universal registration over the next five years. We say that it will cost
$85 million. We encourage the members opposite to examine our estimates.
We are confident we will demonstrate that the figures are realistic and
accurate.” (Hansard Page 9709 – February 16, 1995). After seven years,
all Canadians now know who was right; unfortunately, the Liberal’s still
don’t get it. On November 28, 2002, Justice Minister Martin Cauchon
was still claiming in the House of Commons that the gun registry is, “...worth
proceeding with such a fantastic value as protecting our society.”
(We
all know at this point, that Safety is not the issue.. For the Government
to waste a billion dollars on this farce would require some incredibly
stupid people at the helm, or there is a entirely different hidden agenda
that that seems to give this department seemingly unlimited funds! WHY
are they allowing this farce to go so horribly over budget at the expense
of projects that could 'really' save lives! Why are they refusing to shut
it down? What is the REAL reason for the gun registry?)
Liberal
Fantasy Generates yet ANOTHER Prohibited gun Amnesty
The Minister also announced an extension to the amnesty period for
prohibited handguns until December 31st, 2003. The licensing phase of the
program has been a success(?),
with over 90% of Canada's estimated 2.3 million firearm owners in compliance.
So far, about 70% of licensed firearm owners have acted to comply with
registration. Over 200,000 registration applications have already been
submitted over the Internet. This translates into millions of firearms
that are accounted for, mostly rifles and shotguns, which were difficult
to trace under the old system. Minister Cauchon has announced a six-month
grace period for firearm owners who submit their registration application
but do not have their certificates in hand by January 1, 2003. This is
part of the government's commitment to ensure that law-abiding citizens
are not penalized. This is not an extension of the registration deadline
but rather protection from any criminal liability for those who have complied
with the law. Owners who have not applied to register by the end of December
2002 will not be protected by the grace period.(Ohhh
Look!! ANOTHER amnesty for guns that are soooo dangerous as to be prohibited..
What is this one? Number 6? 7? 8? I've lost track! WE now have another
years 'amnesty' for the dangerous 'prohibited guns' but can be sent to
jail Jan. 1st for not registering your old single shot cooey and having
it "uniquely" identified by a "Sticker"... For those of you that will NEVER
get through on the phone lines etc.. Consider yourself a criminal, 'Caught
between a Rock and a Cauchon'. Public attention is shifting to the
incredible mess the Liberals call a firearms control system, it's only
a matter of time before this farce comes to a screeching end..)
Advice,
both good and poor!
Look around your house for things to hit people over the head
with or disable their knees. In our case, my father picked up a ceramic
jug with a handle and cracked the guy over the head. We have an aversion
to guns, so there was no weapon to pull out. We were also told later that
even if one has a gun, it is likely the intruder will use it against you,
especially if there are multiple assailants. If you make a mental note
of where these heavy items are around the house—vases, fireplace implements,
statues—they could come in handy.(Oh Really! Criminals
are Cowards. You blow a hole in the first one, the others will scatter
like rats at the dump. Passing up a gun in favour of trying to hit your
assailant over the head with a vase, is a sure trip to the cemetery for
your whole family. Only a fool could think otherwise. Just stop and think
for a moment! Are the Police armed with 'Guns' , or heavy objects from
home. Think of your family first! Go buy a gun!)
