Also Gun control doesn't work, show me any statistics that prove it works, don't just spew emotional bullshit that you thought up "oh if we limit guns, there would be less violence"
Also a Quebec man managed to register his Fuller Screwdriver as a firearm and was issued a registration certificate as well. |
Pointing out that there are flaws in a automated system isn't going to prove anything, the point of the gun registry isn't to review whether people should own guns, it's to track who owns guns. I have no idea what people were trying to prove by registering a soldering gun, fill me in as to what it proves?
The debate isn't on whether gun control is effective, it's on the long gun registry and the election tomorrow. If you want to evidence of the effectiveness of gun control look at rates of gun violence compared to gun control in various countries. I'm not anti-gun, I come from a family that hunts and owns guns on our farms, I just believe that their ownership should be controlled.
