The Liberals are starting their standard smear & fear campaign (as Ossage did above). Try to stir fear from the past, even if it was 20 years ago. It helps people to forget about the corrupt present government. They had to wait until a week or so before the election so the stupid voters wouldn't have time to come to their senses and see reality before they vote.

It shows liberal mentality when Martin says Harper is scary because he has Christian values.

Just received this email. I believe the credibility of the source along with the message says a great deal.

The Liberals versus Firearms Owners
My name is Len Grinnell and I reside in British Columbia. I have been a
shooting competitor since age 14, initially taught and coached by World War
II veterans. Throughout a 39 year career in the Royal Canadian Mounted
Police, I continued to compete both Nationally and Internationally. I
belong to two Rod and Gun Clubs, as well as being a member of Canada's
National Rifle Association and a Provincial Rifle Association, of which I am
a Life Member. My years of policing showed me that offences with firearms
are rarely, if ever, committed by dedicated, law-abiding gun owners, however
recent developments in the upcoming election have given me cause to write to
those with an interest in shooting sports and gun owners in general.

Recently, our Prime Minister announced his party's desire to ban handguns,
undoubtedly to appease those naive voters who would believe that doing so
would end the gun violence in the streets of our major cities. It is
unfathomable to associate law-abiding handgun owners and their registered
firearms to those senseless criminal acts. This violence has to be laid at
the feet of those responsible; the punks who use stolen or smuggled handguns
to fuel gang egos and strengthen their position in ongoing drug wars, as
well as a justice system that fails to recognize what just about every other
citizen of this country does; that minimal sentences for gun crimes does not
work! What will the Liberal Party do next to stay in power? They have been
in power for 12 years and these problems did not develop overnight. Now, on
the eve of an election, they make promises intended only to keep them in
power by offering impossible solutions and diverting blame wherever
possible.

We have heard more than one member of the Liberal Party state that, "Guns
should only be in the hands of the military and the police". We have
listened to the continued hysterics from the government funded Coalition for
Gun Control. We have seen and endured the Firearms Registry and those who
have complied with the law are faced with a proposal to ban their handguns.
We have Alan Rock appointed as Canada's Ambassador to the United Nations,
who touts the Firearms Registry as the instrument to end gun violence in the
world. In the eyes of the Liberals, all firearms are suspect and our
ownership of all firearms, not just handguns, is in jeopardy.

My question to the shooting enthusiasts, gun owners, and hunters of this
country is; "How can the Liberal Party be trusted?". There are no property
rights in our Constitution, and because of this, lawfully owned and safely
stored firearms can be confiscated at government whim, and without
compensation! No firearms owner is safe from what has to be an immoral act,
even if that affront can be made to appear just or in the interest of
"public safety".

In the upcoming Federal Election, I will be voting for my Conservative
Representative, whose party has promised to end the financial farce that is
the Firearms Registry and bring proper sentencing for those criminals
committing firearms offences. I see no other choice, as the N.D.P. and even
the Bloc Quebecois have sided with the Liberals as far as "gun control"
goes. I urge you, the law-abiding gun owner and sportsman, to consider what
has happened, what has been proposed, and cast your vote accordingly.

I am sending this email to my friends and associates, shooter and
non-shooter alike, with the hope that they will take the time to read this
and forward it to their friends for consideration. I believe that together
we can make a difference and bring common sense and justice back into our
system of government.



Respectfully,



Len Grinnell

I too hope dear Ralph keeps his mouth shut until it's over. My fear is another minority government, probably a Conservative one lasting six month's the minority is toppled ( by a non-confidence vote in parliment)followed by another election followed by 10-12 more years of liberal crooks back in power.

Dear mustad,

Amen to all you said, I've been a small town guy my whole life and it's tough to live with decisions made in the big city of toronto by people who wouldn't know what end the bullet comes from. My dad is a retired RCMP and he can't believe the stupidity of this either he knows it will do nothing to curb crime. One must think that even the liberals deep down really don't believe that the hanggun ban will help in any way. Look at what the registry has done, crime is higher then ever. But hey it only cost a couple billiong of our tax dollars. Here's hoping and praying for a majority!

Tony Valeri just got caught flipping a house after 3 months to a Liberal supporter and pocketing a quarter of a million dollars profit. Damn these Liberals are good businessmen.

I've been holding off on commenting because it really seems too good to be true. I can't wait to burn my registration cards! + I get to scrape the ugly little sticker off my model 24 that didn't have a serial #. If we win a majority (fingers crossed) I'll probably even use my restricted lisence to buy a handgun (don't need one but anything to piss off Allen Rock).

I don't get it either Heinz, but chalked it up to just not understanding how it works here. It may be me, but it seems to me that you should either not be part of canada or be part of canada. I realize there is a tremendous amount of history here that I don't understand yet, but it just seems like Quebec is throwing their votes away by voting for the bloc.

BTW, I thought I heard in the last English debate Harper saying he also endorses the elimination of hand guns. Did I hear correctly?

Cheers
