I heard this on the radio today. The Ottawa Citizen's report on city police gun siezures makes it sound like the registry's actually doing something. Sounds like we're not getting the whole facts but just what they want us to hear....wankers!!! Typical media style - twisting the facts.

Newspaper report on gun registry
Moderator: Excalibur Marketing Dude
Yes j I heard it all day on the radio how the gun registry has helped remove over 100 illegal handguns from the hands of criminals in the Ottawa area alone. Lets look at the obvious here:
1. They were criminals it said, so do you think they registered them? NO. Sorry some were registered, probably by a lawbidding person who didn't know they had an illegal gun.
2. The guns were said to be handguns, so exactly how did the LONG GUN registry help, they aren't longuns. The radio failed to mention the long guns in the report but did mention 92 handguns siezed.
3. The guns were siezed OR SURRENDERED, no actual numbers for the amount of guns siezed. Maybe 97% were surrendered but they don't know or want that number reported??????
And this is just the start of the BS coming from anti-gun organizations/police forces.
No offence to any officers but the police boards like to boast about these types of numbers.
NOTE. I haven't read the article yet but will, so my above statements are based on the radio stations report I was listening to today. Just in case someone jumps all over me for misreading the article.

What pisses me off the most is that the average joe/jane hears this report and thinks something's working here and that it's getting guns off the "streets", without digging any more into it!!!
There are some responses though, at the end of the article which state what some people really think of it.
