So what will happen at the end of this year? The lattest extention comes to an end. Will there be further extensions? No way they have anything but a fraction of the guns registered. I know one guy who just recently put up for sale a collection of 250 guns. They presumably wheren't registered. There are lots of piles out there. Many older Canadians aren't up to speed on this stuff. Or rural people where the guns have been beside a dresser for an eternity.

Osage, are you saying there is yet another extension? If so, I hadn't heard of it and it is one well kept secret.

No I am not saying that. I was wondering. I tidied up my peperwork this time last year, and whatever the exact chronology, I did it at what seemed like the last moment, and yet they spun out a further extension. I just wondered what with a new government that presumably will review this policy like every other one, with an unsolved problem of registration and so forth, why not extend it further. In fact I have some guns coming back to me on a transitional basis, and if there is going to be an extension, I wouldn't bother registering them just for a few weeks. Anywhoo my recolection, and the logic of it would dictate they probably won't give us advance notice.

I looked over the new cabinet postings, and just don't know any of the justice types. I guess we will see what happens next. Don't let down your guard. They may bring on more legislation there are plenty of things that could still be done in the gun law area.

I saw the new cabinet postings tonight on the news and see that there are a few anyway from the West. Hopefully the 'Alliance' boys will keep them honest and be loud enough to remind the liberals that almost a few entire western provinces are still against the whole thing.

sawbill; how can there be any appointments from the west? If all the liberals west of the manitoba border shared a dozen Horton's donuts, I think you'd have a few donuts left over.

Those are the ones!

I can't say that having Ann as the deputy PM and Homeland security czar is a good thing for the gun toating population. In the past she seemed relatively do-nothing, prefering to talk her way through it and hope for a promotion so she wouldn't have to take any hard decisions. Not much room for promotion now, and i don't see her supporting a legacy of deregulation.

Seeing Alan Rock put out to pasture is a good thing.
