Canada’s gun registry
The Conservative government has created a committee of two cabinet ministers and a backbencher to figure out how best to kill the long-gun registry as soon as possible.

Good for them. I just hope that we in the United States can elect a conservitive goverment one day.

Huh? Surely you aren’t arguing that someone should create a national long gun registry, just so a future Republican Congress can prove they are Real Conservatives by abolishing it?

I’ll believe it when I see it. Canadians are notoriously unwilling to do anything that might leave them open to accusations of being too radical. Just take a look at their health care system. If there’s anything that is wasteful, ineffective, and counterproductive, it’s that. Yet the system endures.

We already have a registry in the US … the BATFE photocopies 4473s every time they do an FFL audit, and then microfisches them at their facility in Falling Water, WV.
As long as they don’t collate them all, they can claim they are complying with the Volker-McClure act.

Actually, Canada had a similar system to that of the U.S. until the 1950s or so and then changed. Having actually experienced both systems, the Canadian one is definitely better. The American system is much more wasteful, ineffective and counter-productive quite frankly.
