Petition to close the gun registry
To the Prime Minister of Canada:
The federal government continues to pour money into the federal gun registry which is now estimated to cost $2 billion by 2012. The Auditor General of Canada – at the urging of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation – conducted a scathing audit of this registry in 2002. However, the Auditor General could not complete her audit, given the scattering – if not deliberate hiding – of costs across the federal bureaucracy.
The federal gun registry is beyond salvation. Duck hunters, farmers and law abiding gun owners do not pose a threat to public security, criminals do! The registry is too costly and it is not working. We the undersigned demand that you:
<LI class=MsoNormal style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; mso-list: l1 level1 lfo3">Shut down the gun registry; and
Reallocate future budgeted gun registry spending to front-line policing and effective controls against illegal firearms at our borders, airports and ports. Sign the petition at https://secure.lexi.net/ctf/petitions.php?petition_id=1 (https://secure.lexi.net/ctf/petitions.php?petition_id=1)
****** Please send this email to everyone in your address book.........
