Questions We'd Like to Ask Calderon Re: F&FDavid Kopel, adjunct law professor at Denver University and co-author of ?Firearms Law and the Second Amendment?, wrote in the Washington Times this week: 'Mexican President Felipe Calderon?s visit to Washington last week featured his usual lecturing of Americans about gun control. This time, he had some good ideas, although he remains wedded to many bad ones, too. A polite guest, Mr. Calderon did not mention the ?Fast and Furious? operation during his public events with President Obama. But reports indicate that he did bring it up privately, and he was furious - justifiably so.'

(GunReports.com) -- Gun-control advocates in the province of Quebec applauded last week when a judge prevented the Canadian federal government from completely abolishing the country's long-gun registry.
A recently passed federal measure called Bill C-19 amends the Criminal Code and Firearms Act so that people will not have to register their non-restricted or non-prohibited firearms. It also provides for the destruction of existing records in the Canadian Firearms Registry for those firearms.
Quebec wants to maintain its own registry, and it wants to use data collected by the national registry.
Last week, Judge Marc-Andre Blanchard extended to June a temporary injunction that orders the Conservative government to continue registering long guns in Quebec and prevents it from destroying 15 years of data collected over the lifetime of the national registry.
"The beneficial effects of maintaining the registry in Quebec appear greater than the urgency of applying the new law which will do away with the long-gun registry and destroy the data," Blanchard concluded.

""The beneficial effects of maintaining the registry in Quebec appear greater than the urgency of applying the new law which will do away with the long-gun registry and destroy the data," Blanchard concluded." Beneficial effects? What beneficial effects? Well, let's see. Over two billion Canadian dollars wasted? Check. Not one single crime solved with the info on the data base? Check. Home invasions by police and unwarranted prosecutions of unoffending Canadian citizens? Check. Over 70% non-compliance rate? Check. According to the available data, it's a valid mathematical equation: Canada = Bizarro World. Gaviota Very eloquently stated..... At least, however, the greater part of Canada appears to be coming to its senses. Le Quebecois and the Newfies, however, have always marched to a different drummer than the rest of the nation. It would appear that the stupidity quotient in Quebec is equal to or higher than that of Washington, D.C. And of course the judge interfering with dumping this mess has a Frenchy name. Yes their registration laws are a total waste of resources and the vast majority of Canadians have always been against them another case of the few making laws for the many. Reminds me of the war on drugs we wage here in the US. Although I have no interest in the drug culture I know our dollars could be far better utilized.
