Gun Owners' Resource

Well, hallelujah, brothers and sisters.  After more than twenty long years, it looks like we're finally going to see the first step in the dismantling of the malignant tumor on the backside of Canadian society that is the legacy of Bill C-68.  For those of you who have been living in a cave — or buried under rubble, or just really, really hungover — the long-awaited government Bill that will take the Great Canadian White Elephant out behind the barn and shoot it has been introduced in Parliament as Bill C-19.

That's right: the Harper government is making good on on its long-standing promise to both rural Canadians and law-abiding gun owners to scrap the Farmer Bob Duck Gun Registry and destroy all evidence of its existence so future governments and other malignant gun-grabbing opportunists can't easily dig it up and bring it back from the grave, like some poorly written episode of The Walking Dead that fell on its ass.

And it's about God damned time, too.

Never reword something that someone else has already said better:

The CACP is not balanced

Mr. Toews,

The Canadian Association Of Chiefs Of Police president, Chief William Blair, has sought an invitation from you to participate in the Firearms Advisory Committee, claiming that his organization “would provide you with timely and balanced advice on firearms issues from the leading law enforcement organization in Canada.”

Put the gun registry out of its misery

The federal Conservatives have confirmed that the contentious long-gun registry will be scrapped this fall. Speaking with Postmedia News, Conservative MP Candice Hoeppner said: "Everyone knows it's been part of our party's policy for many years, and the Prime Minister committed to Canadians during the election we would scrap the longgun registry.. Canadians can expect to see [the legislation] fairly early on in the fall."
