Given that the rural/small town murder rates are higher in virtually every province in Canada than the urban murder rates, why would we not want to target farmers with guns?All they did was target farmers in the hopes of solving urban crime.....we can see how that worked out.....

I think he was referring to the long gun portion of the registry which significantly increased the cost of rifle ownership, a tool of the trade for farmers.....by requiring the registration of non-restricted firearms. Most handguns were either restricted or prohibited weapons and were required to be registered anyway before the Liberals implemented the long gun registry. All they did was target farmers in the hopes of solving urban crime.....we can see how that worked out.....
So he was lying in his original post when he said they wanted to take away legal guns from farmers. Sounds like NRA tactics.
If we have to register and pay a fee to drive and own cars then people should have to register and pay a fee to own and shoot guns.
It's ridiculous to call the long gun registry as cash grab from farmers. The registration fee didn't even come close to covering the cost of the operation of the registry itself, let alone contributing to general revenue.
Also note that the police use the gun registry dozens of times a day. For example, to check if there's a gun in the home when the get a domestic disturbance call.
I have never asserted that anbody was trying to take away legal guns from farmers. Stop with BS American comparisons already...in case you haven't noticed, we live in Canada, I am Canadian and we are discussing a Canadian issue....I couldn't care less about what happens south of the 49th. You seem to be fixated with American politics and policy for some idiotic reason.....
Are you using two screen names because I was referring to what Zeister said? Please follow along, especially if you are choosing to defend Zeister's comments.
The registry isn't the problem, it was the Liberal implementation and cost that was the problem.
It's true illegal guns come form the US, yet you say the NRA is not a Canadian problem. You just defeated your own argument and you have the cojones to call me idiotic.

Stick to the topic. Stop jacking this thread.
If you want to discuss gun control, take it elsewhere....
I have started a "Gun Control" thread in the Toronto Issues section.
This thread is about GTA Voting Patterns. Please follow the UT etiquette and stick to the topic.
Thanks
While I am not a fan of the NRA, what do they have to do with the flow of illegal firearms to Canada? Do they have some policy advocating the shipping of illegal firearms to Canada that we should be aware off?
Again, you are attempting to hijack a thread. Let's end this discussion and stick to the topic. If you want to discuss gun control, take it elsewhere. This sidebar has nothing to do with the voting patterns of the GTA.
