Canadian Gun Registry Shot Down

[Savonarola]

Yeah seriously Jimmy, don't you live around Providence or something?  Just get a part time job with the mob captain for your ward.

Right now he might get more opportunities working with the Yakuza or the tongs.

No need for a gun there.  Sonny Chiba movies clearly demonstrate that one should never bring a gun to a sword fight.

Excellent news BTW - I've never seen the long gun registry solve a single crime.

Montreal police says it did.
But in Laval, apparently it didn't work.
And in Quebec city, publicly, the cops are not speaking.  In private, they say they never use the thing because it's unreliable.

Ah, I like politics.

The bill comes from a NDP MP, and the House of Commons has a tradition to allow free votes on private bills.  So the bill passes, but the Conservatives are accused of scheming to get it approved!

Wow, Haper is da man.  He can so easily manipulate the NPD and the other parties to do as he pleases.  One hell of a politician!

My application to the Marine Corp was turned down due to childhood asthma (which had since gone away), so no.

FUN FACT:  You do not need to be in the armed forces to fire guns!

All of RI is "around" Providence. Given the lack of wilderness there's not much hunting, so I haven't had an oppurtunity to fire a gun.
