Easter acknowledged some of those difficulties Friday and thanked gun owners for complying with the law.
"I want to thank those who have registered, for acting responsibly and complying with this important law," he said.
"By doing so you have provided police with vital information to assist in criminal investigations and have reduced the risk of firearms-related death and injury.
"I commit to further enhancement of the program to ensure it remains well-managed and accountable."
No one has every explained how the police having my serial #'s is going to reduce the risk of fireams-related death and injury. If anything the police knowing I have firearms increase my chance of being shot by the police.
The required courses one must have to register a weapon are not offered in my community. I don't think vehicle ownership should be a requirement in firearms ownership
.
One guy in Manitoba registered his nail gun, staple gun and soldering iron, and his wifes curling iron.
I wonder if my wrist rocket is a projectile weapon the police should know about it? Then there is the blow gun down at the shop I clean the air filters with. 100 psi .....maybe I better let the police know about that too. My sons got a pistol that shoots plastic darts with suction cups on the end........hmmmmmm.
This legislation has got to be repealed, over half the nation will not suport it.
