Agreed, but you must agree that restricted registry costs more that $1.4 a year.

I don't think I'm an idiot, I think most people on rs and most people involved in political discussions are though. I admit when my parties are wrong and when there are gaps in my knowledge; I'm not old enough to really remember the liberals being in power so I have a bit an excuse.

It seems that it should be possible to have a non-government account analyze a compelte set of the gun registry expenses and determine what ones are fixed, what are divided between long and restricted, and what are exclusive to either and give us a real figure on the savings of scrapping long guns. I don't even care that much if the long gun registry is scrapped, I'd just like to make an informed decision based on realistic numbers.
Marco911 restructures failing businesses, maybe we should hire him to fix the long gun registry

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.

I learned something, thank you. Every article I find is so partisan it's hard to research something and find solid facts.
