1 A friend asked my help to transport a 25 weapons collection for update registration at the local RCMP shop. It would have been more practical for an officer to check these out at her residence. This way a government office is tied up for half a day, along with a specialized officer who seems to do little else. Most of the weapons are works of art and craftsmanship and do not function. Some require ball, shot and some wooly stuff. No one in our group has shot much other than duck. To restore your faith in some Canadians. There are many who have commented on the Registry from the beginning with only one gesture. It mainly involves the middle finger. What's the use of a registry when the majority of handguns are lumps at the middle back of most drug wholesalers and retailers belts? I have personally seen this. The cost for one person registration? Transport to the office. Occupation of three people and one interview room for half a day. Personnel to do computer data entry. Paper handling down the line. Photography. Pay off? One in a million chance that one of these antiques could be traced to a crime. Awww c'mon, wake up, smell the gunpowder, and scrap this stupid and pointless registry. Let the paper shufflers get back to solving crime. 73s TG
