You're absolutely right, Jeff, the CPC has no intention of getting rid of the registry and they're really pissing off a lot of us gun totin' rednecks.The Rathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00762317244980526077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19402125.post-14752601094636294682009-05-18T16:08:00.000-04:002009-05-18T16:08:00.000-04:00They extend the amnesty year after year, and then ...They extend the amnesty year after year, and then complain that not enough people register their guns to make it effective. They reduced and reduced and finally waived the license fees that were intended to pay for the thing, and then complain that it's costing the taxpayer too much.<br /><br />Isn't this precisely how our government works, though? If you don't like a program or a department, you don't kill it outright - you just slowly starve it to death. Choke off its funding bit by bit, staff it with incompetent hacks who are ideologically opposed to the thing, and sit back and wait. Eventually, it will become so completely dysfunctional that the people will rise up and demand that it be done away with.<br /><br />The Conservatives certainly aren't the first to go about it this way, but they sure are getting good at it. It's happening with the CBC, it's happening with the Senate, the PBO, AECL, the Information and Privacy Commission... the list goes on and on.<br /><br />The gun registry is just one more program that may never die but will never, ever be allowed to succeed.Jennifer Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14610902519752808810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19402125.post-70048368750536469552009-05-18T14:29:00.000-04:002009-05-18T14:29:00.000-04:00Well, read this one and then you will.
