Ah, the gun registry.
Personally I think that a/you want a gun, you should be able to have a gun, no questions asked and b/you should have to register it like you have to register your car.
Peter Wheeland makes a similiar point in his piece in the Montreal Gazette, sarcastically but it is still there.
He also makes a valid point about the Stephen Harpers writing that "It's the same government that promotes a 'law and order' agenda yet refuses to listen to the unanimous position of the Association of Police Chiefs on the usefulness of the long-gun registry."
I shudder at the implication that the Tories have said one thing and yet are doing another. Unthinkable.

Chretien, Paul Martin and so many others have made election promises of banning handguns or firearms in general so it's impossible to belive your party suddenly has an open mind on civilian firearm ownership. That "no questions asked" is a dead give away however.
