On Guard for Thee Posted March 28, 2015 Report Posted March 28, 2015 How so? Maybe you and small there should talk it over and come up with something a little more original and not so repetitive. Quote
Derek 2.0 Posted March 28, 2015 Report Posted March 28, 2015 Its called traceability. Tends to scare criminals away so law abiding people can go about their business. Huh? If a criminal was able to pull a fast one on the RCMP/CFC and obtain a license, with the intention of committing a crime with their own legally purchased firearm, you think they would be concerned with "traceability"? And if they were, as already outlined, with a stop into the local Crappy Tire, they can defeat the registry, affording them the ability to leave the gun, take the cannoli...... Quote
Derek 2.0 Posted March 28, 2015 Report Posted March 28, 2015 Maybe you and small there should talk it over and come up with something a little more original and not so repetitive. We are, you're the one sadly that is both repetitive and stuck inside a logic vacuum. Quote

The only logic vacuum here is the one that seems to ignore reality. Cars just like guns, can be dangerous in the wrong hands, which is why they are regulated. OK then, you boys run along and play.

Cars just like guns, can be dangerous in the wrong hands, which is why they are regulated. OK then, you boys run along and play. And guns very much should be regulated. They are, in fact. That has never changed. Unlike cars, guns are no longer registered, as it made little sense and was showing to have no effect on the crime rate (which is still falling). Quote
Topaz Posted March 28, 2015 Report Posted March 28, 2015 There's always a way around and maybe the province can make the bullet registry, have a gun and bullets, register the bullets or just ban bullets. Quote
Derek 2.0 Posted March 28, 2015 Report Posted March 28, 2015 There's always a way around and maybe the province can make the bullet registry, have a gun and bullets, register the bullets or just ban bullets. Nope, not per the wording of the present Firearms Act......As mentioned, the Province of Quebec can create its own registry, but Quebec gun owners, per the Firearms Act, are not required to abide by it..........with that said, when the Province is making cuts to both healthcare and education, I fail to see where they will come up with the money to waste........ None the less, the remaining (Quebec) data of the LGR is now useless. As of yesterday, per the Quebec CFO, residents of Quebec are no longer legally required to register non-restricted firearms, and can now buy & sell firearms like the rest of Canada by presenting their PAL to the seller......

Argus Posted March 28, 2015 Report Posted March 28, 2015 Not idiotic at all. If you own a gun through the registry and decide to sell it illegally, it can be traced right back to you. A gun license does not do that. With a gun license I can buy 50 guns, well them to whoever and not worry. Next thing you know we start heading down the US path and kids start getting blown away at school, etc. And then Jesus rises again right? The above is blisteringly stupid logic. If I'm going to buy guns to do illegal things with them why would you think I'd register them?

Argus Posted March 28, 2015 Report Posted March 28, 2015 It doesnt. Apparently your geography suffers. Quebec isnt part of the US. But it may stop it from happening in Quebec. Uh, how? How can it possibly stop something like that from happening in Canada, in Quebec, or anywhere else?

Argus Posted March 28, 2015 Report Posted March 28, 2015 Because a registry can trace that weapon back to you, where a simple license can not. Since almost everyone who does these shootings kills themselves anyway - so what? And by the way, nobody is doing 'drive by's with hunting rifles. They're doing it with Glocks and automatic weapons they buy illegally and (shockingly) don't register.

Argus Posted March 28, 2015 Report Posted March 28, 2015 Oops, I must have hit a sore point. But if you want to see repetitive, you have provided ample. I don't think you hit a sore point so much as you've come up against basic logic and seem to be trying to swerve around it.

You do realize that almost all the guns used illegally are stolen or smuggled across the border from the US, right?

Apparently the government of Quebec thinks not having a registry is blisteringly stupid, maybe go tell them what you think. Quote

The government of Quebec is playing to the vapid, air-breathing, ignorant herd who know nothing about what the registry does or doesn't do but think of it as 'gun control', which they're in favour of, of course.

Dont use rifles...you better do a little homework and get back to us...what was used in the parliament shootings, the 3 mounties in NB, most of the school shootings in the US... Quote

Yes, that rifles (including AR-15s) are used rarely, and gun homicides have been decreasing since the 1970s, despite an increase in firearms purchases and CCW permits nationwide.

Dropping yes, but still far ahead of the rest of the developed countries. Quote
