The only interest i have on this issue is one of wasteful and down right senseless spending by our Government. Another handsomehunked program in a seemingly endless string of handsomehunked programs.
The actual legislation doesnt really affect anything more than the bottom line on my paycheck. But of course if the Liberal government didnt spend this billion dollars on gun registration, they would surely find something even more idiotic to spend it on.
I dont own a gun, though I have. I dont hunt or shoot on a range, though I have. When the Canadian gub'ment decided to come out with this and previous gun registration, I got rid of all my firearms. It just wasnt worth the hassle or money.
This is a reflection of my view on firearms. Unlike lazs and others who hold the opinon that gun ownership = freedom (and they are entitle to this opinion,) I dont feel "oppressed" by my government restricting my access to firearms.
The real problem is that all this money is spent with no measureable benefit. In fact, like so many others like myself, people have given up hunting and sporting with firearms because of gun registration. That hurts so many sectors of the economy that 1 billion dollars seems like chump change.
Besides that, I GUARANTEE, that if i wanted to purchase any firearm (within reason) I could have it within 48 hours. Note: I have no intention of doing so. When you weigh the cost of the program with the benefits, this program just doesnt make sense.
p.s: Some of the most fun i had at the con was with ab8aac at the range.
p.p.s: Thrawn, i spoil my ballot every time I vote
