#1 Thanks, Canada. You give us a perfect example to point to when leftists down here propose Registration "which won't lead to consfiscation."

#2 They left out Midnight Basketball. Midnight Hockey maybe?

Legitimate target shooters who meet requirements would be eligible for an exemption to the handgun ban.

I have a feeling lots and lots of liberals will become "legitimate target shooters". And will have no problems "meeting the requirements".

#3 I'm just guessing here but this is most likely an attempt to woo Jack Layton and his New Democratic Party back into the political fold. This is something they have always wanted, nasty little Marxists that they are.

Paul Martin: "To make our communities safer we should ban handguns outright."

Adolf Hitler:"This year will go down in history! For the first time, a civilized nation has full gun registration! Our streets will be safer, our police more efficient, and the world will follow our lead into the future!"

#4 "To make our communities safer we should ban handguns outright."

Yeah...just ask the poor bastards in DC (the ones without bodyguards) how well that works.

#5 This is cool! Now I wonât have to pay full price for that Sig I was wanting. Iâll just wait it out and the Canadians will dump their guns on our market. Another early Christmas present to us terrible gun owners, tell the Cheesehead politicoâs to hurry with this so I can get the kids Colts for the holiday! Oh Canada! We love you.

#7 The Canucks are going to get a choice in this election. We'll find out what they really are.

#9 The only way this would be stopped is to have a Conservative majority (unlikely), as all the other 3 partys are in favor of this. I pity the Canadians, its just another elitist jab at regular folks.

I think Britian is a prime example of disaster that happens when this gun thing gets going. They even want to have knife control there now.

#10 Go to Ottowa, and take your guns.

The guy had a way with words, huh?

#11 Standing in the Jefferson memorial in DC reading in awe the words inscribed on the walls, I was rudely interrupted by an idiot wanting to pose for a photo where I was standing.
Needless to say, he did not appreciate the words...

#14 Okay, I'll bite - why is a Nation that can barely afford its own armed forces, with a known large Muslim population, and is also a recognized transit point, espec into the lower USA, for Radical Terrorists, and has budget difficulties affording its own police forces let alone expanding into a larger one, now proposing to take away what is likely the last form of local potent civilian personal self-defense!? Iff the main government can't adequately protect its own borders, inter- and intra-, what is the likelihood of protection from criminals, Spetzlamists, and Mama Hillary's/Cindy's Commie Airborne - eerrr, meant the anti-US UN Peacekeepers..
