They refer to it as a waste of tax dollars that would be better spent hiring more police officers so that they could really fight crime. Vancouver is more in tune with Toronto which is no surprise because firearm crimes are a big city problem. Registration will not change this. The gangs do not buy their guns in sporting good stores.

I think your mistaken here about Toronto and Ontario. The Police Chiefs of Ontario have changed tune and withdrew their backing of the gun registering. They finally realized that the money could be used better by applying it to policing and that the gun registery would not affect the criminal elliment. I also think that this law is here to stay, but if we complain long enough and loud enough, they might just think twice before they take the next step, confascation. City folk (which I am one) needs to be educated between the criminal elliment and sportsman (non criminal), and that no matter what laws are passed or enforced, the criminals will not adhere to them.

Therefore the only thing to do is to go after the criminals, not law abiding Canadians with usless laws.

Educate .... educate .... educate .... then vote the way you want.
