GUN CONTROL:
The theory that a woman found dead in an alley, raped and strangled with her panty hose, is somehow morally superior to a woman explaining to police how her attacker got that fatal bullet wound.

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, That Should Be Repealed Soon! )

Just a Quick Bit of Good News on Boxing Day
PRIVATE TAKE OVER OF CFC ON HOLD!
(This is a Canoe Link so it  will vanish in 24 hrs! - Boxingday- )
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.".The BLACK HOLE of the C.F.C.(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?)

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!)
