Hell, they spent 37 million on just the TV adds, not the airtime, of those 2 goofs in the bar saying "it's time to get a license and register guns, blah blah blah". BTW that was another insider scandal that got swept under the rug, look it up.
Alan Rock promised me to my face in Calgary, and several other people including police officers that the costs to the taxpayer would be 2 million or less, with 120 million being a stratosphere figure that was to be made up by fees. He also promised he'd scrap the law, then resign if it ever topped 120 million.
The money is what gets joe public angry, but to me, it's just the uselessness of the law. If anyone can tell me just once where this law we have saved anyone's life, I'd love to hear it.
All they've been doing is building a confiscation list. Come back to this thread in a year or two, maybe less, when every gun in this country hits the prohibited list.
BTW, the new FRT ident disk we got today had a "slip up" in it, where the Feds reclassified a bunch of target pistols and rifles typically considered non-restriced or restricted to prohbited, so in reality it has already begun. This is precisely what happened to everyone in the UK and Australia.
This + Kyoto will be a sore spot with Western Canada that will likely be beyond repair.
All you pro-liberal guys should have a look at the figures very closely here, and consider what we're getting into with other similar deals, such as Kyoto and other high risk ventures. I'm not wanting to debate whether Kyoto for example is good or bad, but we are talking about numbers will a decimal place added to them in relation to the gun-law debocle. That would be enough to bring a Nation down IMO, if it was equally mismanaged.
This government has got to go, how unfortunate there is nobody else capable here of doing the job either. Makes you want to take a long walk off a short bridge when you think about it to long.
