        The people who might act _really_ irresponsibly with firearms
were supposed to be weeded out by the FAC process. Are you suggesting
that it failed? Don't worry, you wouldn't be the first.

        Are you suggesting that some lunatic is going to sit down and
say to himself,"Hmmm, I have this rifle and I have this urge to get up
in the tower and wait for a busload of kids to arrive at school. Jeez,
I'd better register this so the authorities can stop me before I start
to act _really_ irresponsibly".

        Like a lot of uninformed people you sound like you have this
idea that registration will basically clean up the criminlnal element
and force them to inform the police that they have guns and might use
them in a _really_ irresponsible manner. Not this year!

criminals to register their firearms   * P.O. Box 51, Portugal Cove
