Still doesn’t work

Imagine that! 

Ya know, canucks, I do know where to exchange Canadian money in the Seattle/Tacoma area, so if’n y’all just just have too much of it and need somewhere to get rid of it, you can just mail it to me. Small bills, large bills, I don’t care.

Federal gun registry has not improved public safety despite costing taxpayers more than $2 billion

Canada’s homicide rate and number of gang-related murders has increased since the federal government’s firearms registry and licensing program was implemented, an indication that the program has failed to improve public safety, according to Hubris in the North, The Canadian Firearms Registry, a new report from independent research
organization The Fraser Institute.

“In 1995, the government promised Canadians that the gun registry would reduce total criminal violence, suicide and domestic abuse, not just gun violence,” said Gary Mauser, author of the report, senior fellow with The Fraser Institute, and a professor at Simon Fraser University.

“But the legislation has failed to do that, primarily because it relies upon public-health research to justify a moralistic approach to firearms that exaggerates the danger of citizens owning firearms through pseudoscientific research methods.”

“Psuedoscientific” is one of words that could describe their research methods, but that I wouldn’t use. My word choices are moderately more explicit.

Now, if the Canadian government would like to see a program that actually DOES deter crime, they need only read about Oklahoma

Ten years later, officials say gun-carrying citizens responsible, deterring crime.

We all know that the Canadian government didn’t put 10 years into their “pseudoscientific research” before enacting the registry.

    Amen…

    Unfortunately there is always more noise from the anti-gun types that if the registry hasn’t worked so well in its current form, then we need MORE gun controls to stop crime.

    The logic escapes me, but then clearly I’m under educated, and am unqualified to evaluate cause and effect for myself.

    -sigh-
