Would you please answer the question? How is gun registration going to make it tougher for criminals to get guns? So far I've yet to see an answer that makes any sense. Registering guns will do nothing to make them less available. What you, and others in favour of C-68 seem to be advocating, is a removal of all guns from the general public. Why don't you just come out and say that is what you want and that registration is a first step towards it? Typical Canadian attitude: *I* don't like it, so why not ban it? paul
