The average Canadian (Lib) has no idea what the long gun registry means and what it means for gun control in Canada. It has nothing to do with handguns and everything to do with criminalizing farmers for having shotguns. Thank God Harper will get rid of it and do away with a massive waste of money.
If you outlaw guns, only criminals will have guns.
