Appears gun registry finally gone

[dogbreath]

Restricted



Non Restricted

I own both these guns, same caliber, one is restricted and the other isnt.

Was that second one used for gopher hunting ???

I use that one for putting holes in paper at the gun club. I dont really take it anywhere else.

In my time as a street cop, the registry was of no value!! You always suspected weapons were there, never letting your guard down.

Further was not the street cop that saw value, it was the Canadian Chiefs of Police who supported the initiative. Many of them haven't seen street work in years.

No loss other then all the money blown away!!

Well, to be fair, the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police were treated to a $105,000 gala and personal Celine Dion performance by the company that developed the registry software.

That seems like a good enough reason to try to keep a $2 billion white elephant alive, eh?

The most interesting research that I saw into the registry's uselessness was a survey of front line cops, by a front line cop, which revealed a full 92% saying they never relied on the registry and felt it should be eliminated in favour of redirecting the funds to more effective law enforcement tools. There's not much congruence between the politically-motivated chiefs (complete with their love of Celine Dion) and the folks who actually use enforcement tools in this case.

They must be out of touch with reality, they like Celine Dion.

That’s just what I said, we never used it!! Many times there was no time, as I said you always believed ( NOT ASSUMED ) there were guns inside. The average Sask home has no less than three weapons. That is average, I know guys who have in excess of 30 in their homes.

@ bcpaul My partner has a restricted PAL and listed me on the application. They never contacted me once.
