Conservatives and enthusiasts cheer the end of the long-gun registry

OTTAWA — The Conservative government says its MPs will celebrate after a historic vote to end the long-gun registry Wednesday evening, despite vehement opposition to the move in Quebec and much of urban Canada.

Public Safety Minister Vic Toews told reporters Wednesday, hours before the vote, that the government’s actions are long overdue.

“It does nothing to help put an end to gun crimes, nor has it saved one Canadian life,” he said.

“It criminalizes hard-working and law-abiding citizens such as farmers and sport shooters, and it has been a billion-dollar boondoggle left to us by the previous Liberal government.”

Yes, but now they want to snoop around on our internet now. They say its for finding pedophiles online. It calls for warrantless access to private citizens IPS addresses, e-mail addresses and such. They say it'll be easier for law enforcement to catch online predators to which my reply is, making law enforcement do their job and not make it easier for them because that is what will keep them honest and free of corruption. At least this proposed bill has united left and right in Canada.
