C19 has passed the commons and will certainly pass the senate unamended. So yes, the fight over the registry is over. Still, it is with some sadness I read this:
Cowboys for Social Responsibility: Thanks for reading
Dude! The fight isn't over, Charlie Angus is right! We aren't done pushing back the badly written and ill thought out gun laws in Canada. We have many complaints:
1) The storage laws are almost indecipherable even for lawyers and judges.
2) The Authorization To Transport (ATT) system for restricted firearms is unwieldy and is being abused by provincial CFOs
3) The system of firearm classification is broken. An AR is restricted but a Tavor or Robinson XCR is not. A WWII vet bring back Luger is a prohibited gun, as are all .25 and .32 caliber hand guns. Are they really extra-special dangerous?
4) Despite constitutional and common law that supports firearms ownership as a right the present law criminalizes firearms ownership.
5) The ownership of firearms for self-defence is still prohibited. One cannot answer sefl-defence on the licensing forms and get a PAL.
I could go on but that's plenty for now. It's not that I don't respect CFSR, it's that I disagree vehemently, that's why I write this. I expect a fight but I also think that when the world doesn't end and blood does not flow in out streets, it would be nice to have CFSR around to see that.
