        Why would having "better knowledge and control" over the
firearms of law-abiding owners (who are the ones targetted by the
registration system) make you feel any safer. You had nothing to fear
from them anyway. If we had "better knowledge and control" over those
who planned to use their guns to rob, rape, kill etc. you might feel a
little safer but you will not see these people lining up to register
their guns. They're called criminals and they have this thing about NOT
obeying laws. Allan Rock even backs me up on this. He stated:


"Laws alone can't stop someone who is intent on committing a
        violent act." -- Allan Rock Nov. 8, 94

"No laws we can put into place can stamp out all criminal actions."
     Canada's Minister of Justice Allan `gun control' Rock (November 8,
1994)

"[If someone plans to commit a crime,] they're going to do it
regardless." Canada's Minister of Justice Allan `gun control' Rock
(November 8, 1994)

"I think it [C-68] will help. But I don't want to overstate it.  I don't
want to give any guarantees."'  Ottawa Citizen, December 1, 1994, A3

        Come to think of it, he seems to have as much doubt about what
he's doing as most gun-owners do. If you need to convince someone that
C-68 will make you safer maybe you should contact him ;-)

        Here's something else to try. If you feel that "no guns" in the
hands of honest citizens is what this country needs to keep you safe
then put a big sign on your lawn stating;

ATTENTION THIEVES. IN AN EFFORT TO SUPPORT C-68 I WOULD LIKE TO INFORM
YOU THAT THERE ARE NO GUNS ON THESE PREMISES. MY SOLE MEANS OF
PROTECTION ARE MY TELEPHONE AND THE LOCAL POLICE.

        You may lock your door, of course, but like C-68 the doorlocks
only work to keep the honest people out. In all sincerity you should do
a little more research. Try Mauser and Bartlett for a start. I'll be
happy to provide sources if you e-mail me.
