        I can't see why we have to compare to the U.S.A.. My problems
with gun registration and C-68 affect me here in Newfoundland. I'm not
fighting C-68 because of what is going on in the U.S.A.. Al Rock and
Wendy the Cukier and their ilk always relate to the U.S.A. when they try
to sell their wares. I fail to see the point. Murders in the U.S.A.
shouldn't determine how I am treated here in Canada.

        Since you brought up the U.S.A. then don't forget the decresae
in murder rates since some states introduced concealed carry for law-
abiding citizens. In these cases we don't compare to the U.S.A because
there have been cases here in Canada where an innocent victim could and
would be alive today if the federal government wanted them to be allowed
to protect themselves. It's no wonder that criminals seek entry into
Canada. Our judicial system is a joke to them. Remember Constable
Baylis?  He was murdered by a guy who had been deported three times. He
was a known felon and his file had been floating around the immigration
office for 6-8 months. Apparently they were overworked and didn't get
around to him. The result is a dead policeman and possibly a widow and
some fatherless children. Hmmm, 85 million (or is it 118 million now?)
could have beefed up the immigration offices but instead we are putting
the money into getting police officers to copy down numbers on pieces of
paper. I wonder if anybody asked Constable Baylis's children if this is
the kind of Canada they want to live in.
