They've neutered the gun registry without having to eliminate it altogether and Canadian lefties are furious...

OTTAWA -- The Harper government has extended the two-year-old amnesty that protects firearms owners from prosecution if they fail to register their rifles and shotguns.

Cabinet approved a directive last Thursday that extends the amnesty to May, 2009, virtually guaranteeing the Conservatives will not have to risk defeat of a bill scrapping the controversial registry before the next federal election.

The move prompted angry reaction from opposition MPs, who accuse the Tories of lacking the political courage to make good on a central part of their campaign platform for rural voters in the 2006 election.

Looks like there are some new .22's, in the near future, for me and the boy.

If you buy the rifle new, it's already registered to the retailer and thus in the system. It would have to be transferred to you before it leaves the store. If you buy a used gun, it is probably registered in which case you also have to transfer it to you. Your only hope (to have an unregistered rifle) is to buy a previously unregistered used rifle privately. Completely legal, as long as you have your PAL/POL up to date.

If you poll winnipeggers and ask them do you worry more about gangs, punks stealing cars or gun owners and ask who needs to be dealt with first I doubt legal gun owners would top the list.

Our new chief of police is upset punks are stealing cars and ramming them into police cruisers. Meanwhile the last chief wasted his time marketing the registry from hell.

So is society safer?

The year of the first deadline we had a record 10 people shot in this miserable city of Winnipeg.

I should add the total murders was 33 also a record.

But Liberals don't like to tackle the real causes of crime, ie criminals.

Hey Dinosaur I agree with you about Winnipeg. Two areas of Winnipeg are war zones. I don't even go near them. I live in the far south of Winnipeg and even then I feel the shadow of the inner city. Miserable Winnipeg.
