Canada, Gun Control, and the Right to Own Firearms

             There is new legislation that has been passed recently by the Canadian government, which affects gun control towards the Canadian people. This new legislation is almost taking guns away from honest citizens of this country, and doing that is to take away the Canadian way of life.

With the cost, it means less money for them as a department and therefore they would have to be doing drastic cutback, for example, the laying of officers and the office workers. The system that they have set up that holds all the information about the gun owners, this database will be riddled with errors, these errors could actually result in the false prosecution of an individual. Millions of guns will not be registered, and there isn't anything they can do about it, because they can't go knocking on everyone's door asking if they have a gun, and whether or not it is registered, and if they did the government would have to pay people to do it, because not too many people work for free. The government is alienating millions of honest citizens, who are just like any other taxpayer, and should be treated like that.
