Quebec will soon have its firearms registry

QUEBEC – Bill 64, which requires the registration of long guns, was adopted on Thursday at the National Assembly, on the eve of the adjournment of the current parliamentary session.

Since its filing, last December, the bill to provide Quebec with a firearms registry did not have unanimous approval among the population, particularly in rural areas where there are many hunters.

The bill passed with 99 votes in favour and eight against. There were no abstentions.

About a third of the Coalition Avenir Québec (CAQ) caucus, seven MNAs, voted against the bill, as well as Sylvie Roy, a former CAQ member from Arthabaska, who became an independent.

Premier Philippe Couillard imposed party discipline on his MNAs in order to pass the bill, but not the CAQ; their caucus was divided on the issue. Some Liberals and members of the PQ had reservations, but all rallied in the end, passing the bill.

In a statement, the Parti Québécois said it was proud to have contributed to the adoption of Bill 64.

“The law on the registration of firearms is an important measure that improves the safety of Quebecers,” assured Stéphane Bergeron, chief whip of the official opposition.

The PQ also expressed pride for the changes the party spearheaded in the proposed legislation.

Oh Good Lord!

The federal long gun registry was supposed to cost $ 2 million and cost somewhere over $1 billion dollars.

Despite severe Criminal Code penalties, a very significant number of owners refused to register,,,,,,perhaps as many as 1/3 of the long guns in the country remained unregistered.........undoubtedly there was a pool of millions of illegal firearms created by the registry.

Despite the incredible cost, the registry was inefficient. I once was on the phone in queue for 45 minutes to have the recording tell me "We are experiencing an unusual load of calls. Please call back at another time" Click. Dial tone. Imagine trying to run a business under those conditions.

The Registry was so inaccurate it was inadmissible in court. Really.

There was not a single serious crime solved by the existence of the registry that I know of. Not one.

The year the registry came into full force (the first year of all gun owners licensed, supposedly all guns registered) the murder rate went UP.

Since the destruction of the Long Gun Registry, the murder rate has gone DOWN.

Absolutely useless. Harper did the right thing.

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over again expecting a different result.

Oh, and Quebec doesn't even have the Criminal Code backing them.

So, so stupid.

. I'm guessing you don't know what democracy means.


Considering every legally purchased firearm in Canada is registered in the province in which it was purchased or where it's currently possessed, I'm not sure what this is supposed to accomplish. Sounds to me like a bunch of morons introducing "feel good" legislation so they can say they're doing something.
As for your Harper shot, the national LGR was a financial fiasco from the beginning. It's actually funny listening to the leftards whine about the one-time G8-G20 cost but had no problem spending that amount every year on what was basically a redundancy.
