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:

* 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.

Its funny how, the government forgets what it says. Durning the last Election Harper said he would stop this gun registry as apart of his campain, yet nothing. This is a joke I have heard of people turning in old guns that are priceless, and every collectors dream just so they don't have to register them, into a system that doesn't even work!!! I would love to see this registry closed and the money put to something that will work.
