If it is kept in a ledger or on a computer database at the store, who has access to it? Will this information be protected? Will those people involved be checked out and vetted? What if they have ties to organized crime? What if the computer gets hacked? Even the RCMP admitted their firearms database for the registry was hacked into over 400 times. Suddenly there is a shopping list available for break and enters or home invasions by the criminal element.
The Liberals and their anti-gun cohorts keep saying that legal guns are stolen and used in crimes. How is this helping that? Anonymity give protection and security. We would not want lists of valuables such as jewelry and cash that people keep at home published anywhere.
Yet another foolhardy attempt to appease those who hate guns and want revenge for mass killings. It is said that "Revenge is like a virus waiting to be unleashed. When you seek her…the outcome is never what you hoped for. Even though the taste of revenge may be sweet for a second or two, the everlasting effects are purely bitter.
No matter our place in life, revenge is trying to be a part of it. Everyday someone does something to us and let’s be honest, our natural tendency is to repay evil with evil. It is apart of who we are."
So this vengeful act towards legal gun owners will not lead to anything good. Very sad.
Your concerns are valid, Mark5.
I am not a gun owner but if I was, I too would be extremely concerned about hackers gaining entry into the registry, finding out where you live, how many guns are stored there, the gun particulars and anything else that may make YOU/family a target for break-and-enter, possibly with personal assault or death trying to defend your home and gun safe.
Don’t you just wish that those who make the laws had some consideration of those who will be affected the most?
Dream on…it’s a Liberals thing.
Sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice. There’s a certain point at which ignorance becomes malice, at which there is simply no way to become THAT ignorant except deliberately and maliciously.

Ok if we're going to do that, let's get back to that circular argument.......Gone_Fishin wrote: ↑May 12th, 2022, 12:38 pmBetter ban all vans.

https://globalnews.ca/news/6840650/mass ... gs-canada/
Better ban gasoline.April 23, 2018: Alek Minassian drives a white van along a crowded Toronto sidewalk, killing 10 people and seriously injuring 16 others.
Minassian later admits in court to carrying out the attack in retribution for years of sexual rejection and ridicule by women. He’s awaiting trial on 10 counts of first-degree murder and 16 of attempted murder.
The judge has said the case will turn on Minassian’s state of mind at the time of the attack, not whether he did it.
Better ban bombs. Oh wait, they're already banned. Better ban unions then, they killed these people.Sept. 1, 1972: An arson attack on a downtown Montreal night club kills 37 people and injures 64. Gasoline was spread on the stairway of the Blue Bird Cafe and then ignited.
Better ban knives. Especially sharp ones.Sept. 18, 1992: A bomb kills nine strike-breaking workers at the Giant Yellowknife gold mine in the Northwest Territories.
Better ban smuggled, illegal firearms that Wortman used. Trudeau just reduced sentences for smuggling guns into Canada, but I'm sure he has good reasons to let murderers and gun smugglers off the hook - maybe they all vote for him.April 15, 2014: In Calgary’s worst mass killing, five young people were attacked and stabbed at a house party. Matthew de Grood was declared not criminally responsible (NCR) for the killings. It was determined de Grood was mentally ill at the time of the fatal stabbings and unable to understand his actions were morally wrong.
April 19, 2020: 17 people are dead, including the gunman, after a man who at one point wore a police uniform and drove a mock-up cruiser travelled across northern Nova Scotia.

Cohen: Most Canadian gun deaths are suicides. We need tighter controls
https://ottawacitizen.com/opinion/colum ... r-controlsTo-date, the primary perspective on gun violence has been crime-focused. But we should be thinking about it primarily as a public health issue – and setting policy accordingly.

Re: Gun Control
Gun Control is spelled "Gun Control"
Suicide is spelled "Suicide"
You appear to be in the wrong forum
Suicide is a different subject, people will use the most convenient tool to complete any job.
Taking guns away does nothing, we need support for the individual.
Liberal logic at work

Re: Gun Control
Oh you didn't read the article then? Suicide by guns is the leading cause of gun violence in Canada. The article talks about suicides as a public health issue and GUN CONTROL as a Canadian policy. Read it....might learn something.mikest2 wrote: ↑May 12th, 2022, 8:30 pmGun Control is spelled "Gun Control"

Re: Gun Control
^^^ were did these suicides obtain the firearm used, I suspect the black market just like those who commit mass shootings.
So thank you for reinforcing my issue with gun control, if the black market isn’t completely shutdown then gun control is useless.

Most suicides are not guns, you want to stop suicides ? Start with mental health, hanging equipment, knives, drugs, then we'll discuss guns. When you learn to drive, start on a quiet street.foenix wrote: ↑May 12th, 2022, 9:32 pmDidn't read it, huh? Here it is again
