CANADA LIBERALS SCRAP FEES IN FEDERAL GUN REGISTRY
It's not true,
I heard it on the local cjbq 800 am news this morning. The federal Canadian Liberal Goverment is scrapping the 2 billion dollar federal gun registry.
Thanks Swamp buck; I should have checked some other sources. It appears they are just scrapping the fees. I guess it was to good to be true that they were scrapping the whole thing. We can only hope for that, but I'll take the "no fees" for now.

Totally 100% incorrect. Here is the real story.
Ottawa to make changes to gun registry
Last Updated Wed, 19 May 2004 20:45:03
OTTAWA - CBC News has learned that the federal government is about to announce changes to the controversial gun registry, just days before an expected election call.
The Liberals will announce an end to the gun registration fees and transfer fees on Thursday, though the change won't be retroactive.
However, contrary to other reports, the changes will not include decriminalizing registry offences.
The package will also include increased public safety measures to strengthen the capacity of law enforcement agencies to deal with gun crime and smuggling. There will also be measures to strengthen Criminal Code penalties for possession of loaded handguns in public places.
Also included in the announcement will be a plan to support police with new technology systems with the creation of three new ballistic information systems that can match bullets with weapons.
The new systems will be located in Halifax, Regina and Vancouver. Similar systems already exist in Montreal, Toronto and Ottawa.
The government will also spell out how it plans to control the spiralling costs of the gun registry program
