A quote from Alan Rock pretty much sums up the diabolical undercurrents of the Liberal's bill C-68, "The only people in Canada that should possess firearms are the police and the military". With the registry's cost at $1 billion and rising, and with no perceived benefit to the common public in the way of safety and lower crime, you would think that most governments with a lick of common sense would scrap the program. If the simple registering of guns was the goal of the program, I believe they would scrap it but it is my firm belief that the government thinks that $1 billion dollars to "confiscate" every gun in Canada is a small price to pay.

    Historically, no good has ever come from disarming the public. You need only look in this century to to the governments of Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini, Pol Pot, Josef Stalin, Mao Tse Tung, and Idi Amin. These were all dictators that removed the right of their citizenry to defend itself, and for that nearly 56 million dissidents, minorities and undesirables were rounded up and exterminated. In more contemporary society, the governments of Britain and Australia also have instituted heavy gun control on their populaces. The result has been higher violent crime statistics due to armed criminals, and unarmed citizens.

 

    Whenever a government wants to exercise massive amounts of control on its populace, the first thing it must do is eliminate the possibility of any opposition and the road is being paved for that in Canada. I personally do not want to live in a country under the guise of "pseudo freedom", in a country where the government tells me what's good for me. First, they came for the wheat farmers but I didn't raise my voice, for I did not farm. Then they came for the gun owners but I didn't raise my voice for I did not own a gun. What's next? Who's next? Computer owners? The media? Will we raise our collective voices too late?
