Did I just hear loud applause and cheering from across the country????? I will bet it is because you have just heard that the "long gun registry is going to be scrapped." Wanna bet???? Don't go to sleep with too big a smile on your face, looking forward to that moment in time when "that wretched registry will no longer be a sword over my head." Maybe -- maybe not!

One must give the Harper government a plus point for finally "honouring" one of their election promises (if it happens), but it is not a done deal by a long shot.

The Liberals and the NDP may demonstrate their anger, frustration and any number of "supposed" emotions over having to "support the government in voting in favour of such a "terrible piece of legislation" which the "people of Canada will never forgive them for as crime soars to new heights," et cetera, et cetera, et cetera -- and so on.

However, politics is an interesting game and here is a distinct possibility: the Liberals and NDP will constantly attempt to "gut" the bill as it goes through committee and if and when it should happen to reach 3rd reading in the House, it must get through the Senate. And, as we all know, the Liberals control the Senate (and none of them are elected, so they can "play politics," or demonstrate their "horror at the thought of removing the long gun reigstry," et cetera, et cetera, ad nauseum. But the reality is that the Liberals and the NDP in the House will sit in the bushes waiting for a major gaff from the government, one that everyone will agree is unacceptable (and having nothing to do with the registry or its intent), or there will be "another demonstration of a man gone mad and shooting innocent people as a 'direct result' of this registry being removed." Or there could be any number of other situations which politically would allow the bringing down of the government and forcing an election, if the polls appear to favour it.

When that does happen and, if the political winds shift enough and the Liberals are lucky enough to regain power I can GUARANTEE WITH ABSOLUTE CERTAINTY that the registry will be immediately reincarnated and EVERY NAME, ADDRESS AND FIREARM NUMBER THAT IS IN THERE NOW WILL BE AGAIN AVAILABLE! That registry is already sitting on another computer somewhere and will be made available to the Liberals INSTANTLY! And should you have any doubts as to their intent when that does happen, read their own words on their website. And if you do not have that available, that information can be gotten from any number of sources (starting with your own M.P.)

For the moment, I will end these comments, but I had to take time and make the effort to warn you of what will happen in you do not get into the fight and do it now.

We will see what transpires as time passes, so enjoy whatever time you have left as a "legitimate firearms owner in Canada."
