Its only an insult if you feel insulted. I point out the truth, that you are very uninformed on the issue.

Fact: Long guns dominate registered firearms in Canada, 15 to 1, so anyone who believes it will only save $4M of $65M is very uninformed.

I did not call you an idiot, you assumed that. Not my fault you think you are an idiot.

and how much would you like to spend researching how to better organize this government agency? This again, is why your opinion is uninformed and uneducated. There is a reason the gun registry bloated to $1B, and we don't need more non-sense of restructuring it.

Again you're uninformed and uneducated. The current laws are very strict in terms of donations. They were put in place by the Liberals ($5000 personal limit) and made stricter by the Conservatives (lowered to $1000 limit).

The Conservatives actually hurt the Liberals by lowering to $1000 since it is mostly corporations that support the Liberals and this lowered how much they could funnel to their party. Oh wait - you probably didn't know that either - that the Liberal party has historically been more funded by corporations, while the Conservatives are grassroot funded. So which party is the big bad party catering to corporations? Ya - egg on your face.

You may not like me talking down to you cause then you feel stupid, yet I am not calling you stupid. I am pointing out how very wrong you are, and if you continue to feel stupid you only have yourself to blame.
